HI new here, just wanted to let you know i have read all this, and I am looking forward to chatting and posting some of my cakes. I have been decorating for 20+ years now, learned on the job, never taken a class. I do wedding cakes and birthday cakes at work. Love to work with the customers and dream up something great for the cake!!

I just wanted to say hi to everyone on CC!
A liitle bit about me....
I just started decorating a month ago (3 cakes so far from my first Wilton course) and am currently enrolled in my 2nd course.
I found this website a 2 weeks ago and I'm already addicted!
I've looked at the links provided on this post so hopefully I'm armed and ready to go and can add my 2 cents to some of the posts!
I am wowed everyday at all the talent folks on this website, your decorating skills are amazing! I can only hope that one day I will be half as great as you all! |

Yes I to am guilty of not leaving comments! I have only one excuse and it is dumb but I have dial up and it takes for ever for pages to load so if I leave comments I don't get to see as many pics! So many ppl. on this site are very talanted and are such and inspiration to me, so I will try to leave more comments! |

Im a newbie too. Never joined a site before and I am a little afraid Im going to say or do the wrong thing. I try to find and remember all the rules so I won't mess up because I love this site and would really hate it if I wouldn't be allowed in here. I love making baking and decorating cakes, sugar molding, fondant, all of it. I started in 2004 with my first class. And took all I could find. Some twice. For practice. I am diabetic so, I use my family and friends as testers. I couldn't stop if I tried.I love talking about anything to do with the craft of cake & sugar. This site is wonderful. I have found everyone is so friendly and helpful. Thank all of you guys for making me feel so welcomed. |

I wish I had read this a few hours ago - lol. I posted two pics this evening, one of a not so good looking cake that tasted good and one of a cake that I thought was really nice looking, but I've had a couple dozen views of the not so good looking ones, and only 3 of the one I thought was good! Maybe the nice one wasn't up on the new cake thing for very long. I was really stressing out, but now I feel better after reading this.
BTW, I'm kind of new and already completely addicted. You are all so nice and helpful, and your cakes are inspiring! |

Thanks for posting this. It is hard that first time you don't get the replies you think your cake deserves  It is tough for all of the cakes to be seen and half of mine get 1 or 2 views before they get booted off the front page by another cake. Plus, I agree. The ones I save to my favorites are ones that I think I will use, not necessarily only the "good" ones. |

Hello,
I have been looking at this wonderful site for a few weeks. I have tried to read and understand all the rules but of course I made a mistake already. I commented on a beautiful cake tonight and I was ahead of the computer so the incomplete comment posted twice. Sorry
Is there a way to edit this in the future.
Thank you |

It doesn't bother me if people look but, they don't leave a comment. It says a lot if they looked. I think that's nice in itself. If you can get inspiration from a cake I made? Great! Glad I could help. I thought that was what this site was for. Publishing them or a copy of them I think anyone would find rude or offensive. I get ideas from other cakes I've seen. I'm making them for family and friends. No charge. I've got subcriptions to 2 cake mags. I would have more but, find it's too hard to part with them. (Any ideas or uses for the older ones? Ways to utilize?) If you copy it to use as a guide to make your own and use your own cake picture that I couldn't see as a problem, because we all have our own style. We do things a little different here, a little different there. This is a place that we feel safe. I haven't figured out the watermark thing yet, but, was told to do it. I don't think my ego can tell me my cakes are worth copying, yet. I write. I also write poetry. I wrote music to one special poem. Someone else put their name on it and is calling it theirs. We both know better. Now I'm copyrighting all my stuff. It matters. I love this site. The friendly people. At least you are asking.
Kaytec don't feel bad. My button stuck and I can't even tell you how many times my repeated comment got posted. I posted an apology next. I've also told someone I thought you were supposed to post when looking at the pictures. Because I had understood it that way. I'm learning and so far, they haven't kicked me out. And since I've spent most of my life; "just exchanging the feet in my mouth" I'd say that's pretty good. Thanks for putting up with me and my ramblings. |

I stumbled across this site about 3 hours ago on accident, and now I'm completely hooked! I am really impressed with all of the information, tips and advice you all share so openly with each other. I look forward to becoming a part of the group! |
