I just wanted to say that since I've joined CC I have to pry myself from the computer to actually do any work! Everyone is so informative and helpful, it just motivates me more and more everyday to continue my career in cake decorating. icon_biggrin.gif

I've really enjoyed this site too. The shared knowledge is incredible. I made a cake for a baby shower tonight and everyone was impressed. I told my friends about this site and they were all amazed that something like this exists. I had some questions about how to store my cake so I posted a question yesterday and within 20 minutes, all my questions were answered. Thanks everyone for all the great tips! This site is pure gold! thumbs_up.gif

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I'm truly happy when I'm enthusing cakes and some of those around me don't seem to get it!

You know the worst part about being addicted to this site is I can't get off of the computer to go try the new things I've learned here. I've been meaning to work on a FBCT and a choc. transfer for my DD's upcoming birthday, but instead I'm here. I can actually say that got my dishes done tonight. I usually push those off until really late, but I got them done early. So now I can stay on here longer instead of getting off to go clean my kitchen. Woohooo!! icon_lol.gificon_lol.gif

Last year my addiction was knitting and my DH kept saying knitting was my BF!! Ha ha ha but for some reason, since I took an interest in cake decorating and taking classes he says, "I'm proud that you're taking classes and pursuing what you're interested in". Of course, what he doesn't know and can't complain about is that I'm on CC during my work hours peeking in to see if there are any new tips or techniques to learn about. I'm sure one day he will complain when my kitchen is full of cake stuff just like my closets are full of yarn LOL

Oh my god!!! I'm not the only one! icon_surprised.gif It feels so much better to know there are more of you out there like me. I can't help myself - I have to check first thing in the morning and last thing at night plus every chance I get in between. Right now I'm taking a break from decorating and eating my lunch and of course, here I am on CC. icon_lol.gif
Sometimes I feel like I'm being sneaky - if I hear my husband coming, I'll switch the screen because he's getting tired of it. Is there a support group for this... icon_cool.gif

I too am addicted. Last year, I decided that I was going to make and sell hair bows and now this year its cakes. My husband thinks I am going crazy, but I enjoy the cakes WAY more then making bows.... I too can't sleep at night, I dream of cakes. I find myself looking for people whose birthdays are coming up so that I can make them a cake.....

I think my one year old thinks that I have relpaced her with the computer. Every morning while she watches her little cartoons I get on here and she always turns to look at me when she hears the click sound that my laptop makes when I open it. I know she's thinking "Again....I see."
