Cake Diva - I am also a newbie to this site, but never questioned for a moment that your gorgeous cookie was not your own creation. I looked at it with awe and with respect for your beautiful work. Due to kind posters like you, I gain inspiration and knowledge for my own little cookies (although I feel confident I will never reach the level of what you do!). In looking through responses to this post, I see so many who respect what you do and want to support you after this unkind remark was made. I was incensed when I read it and as I said, I am new to this site, but couldn't believe someone would question the authenticity of your work. That is born out of ignorance for the level of art that can be created on a cookie. Please try not to let it upset you anymore. This was a rouge comment and as you can see, so many respect the beautiful work that you do.

If everyone would just mind there own business and not get into others, the world would be a better place. Whether the person hasn't done wrong, or has, mind your own business. Why make grief for people? why do people like to stir everyone up? Look how long this thread is! People just love,love,love a controversy.

And your post made it just a tad longer.

Ah yes. I just want to try and focus on things like ourselves, not what another is doing. This suppose to be a place to learn, not to nit pick on others. Finding what another is doing wrong and coming on here to blab. Though, in this case, it was all good.
Okay, I have to chime in here... OP-I have one of "those printers that print on paper you can eat" and used it on cookies and a cake this week. I love it, and many other ccr's have them- However CakeDiva is not one of them.
About a MONTH ago CakeDiva was having a hard time with an FBCT-
(see here- http://www.cakecentral.com/cak.....1047-.html ) and was wishing she had an EI printer! Those cookies WERE MADE IN 2007- (or should I say "cooky" ) Long before her vent on FBCT's.
Regardless of what you thought ( you are obviously incapable of understanding anything outside the realm of your sheetcake and buttercream rose bakery) you approached this in an incredibly rude and degrading fashion. You obviously have no class, and I have to agree with mike... "If you have to tell everyone you're not one... you are"

I just came across this thread. I'm going to ignore the original post, since it does not seem to deserve a reply.
But I want to state: CakeDiva is one of the kindest members I have communicated with here on CC. She went out of her way to give me support (even though we did not know each other) in a difficult sitation I encountered here.
She is kind, caring, extraordinarily bright, and perceptive.
She is also incredibly modest about her amazing abilities. My "other job" involves working with 19th century art first-hand. And CakeDiva's interpretation of Van Gogh is astonishing. Indeed, she is an artist in her own right.
Her gift is rare -- and her great kindness is even rarer, I dare say.

Thanks Keyshia!
I appreciate the console I really want to try the butterdream recipe on CC but my next cake is yellow w/chocolate so I guess I will have to stick to canned frosting this time haha oh well
Give making BC a try! You will not only like the taste more, but I think it is easier to frost a cake with!! Make a small batch and try it. You will be surprised how much easier it is then you think! (and you will save a lot of money!)
as far as canned, I will admit I still use the canned german chocolate cake filling...(the pecan/coconut) I think it taste great, and it is a lot less work then making it yourself!!

Anyone else find it at all weird that the OP claims to be SUCH a computer n00b as to not know what a pm is (or be able to figure it out!)... but knows what Photoshop is?

I noticed that when faced with a rash of CC'ers calling it like they see it, the OP ..... when faced with "put up or shut up" ...... seems to have shut up and moved on.
No big loss.

The oddest thing just happened to me. I had looked up OP in the memberlist and was going through to see what else she had posted and some of them were deleted while I was still on there. It went from 23 to 15 in just a few seconds. What's the deal. I guess some of the same repeated posts were deleted. Look back at her first few on this thread and she is back to a "Newbie"

I've been watching this thread since it was orginally posted. I wasn't going to comment, but we all know how that goes. I agree with the general consensus that this person is just someone looking to stir up trouble wherever they can. I hope that the calls CakeDiva is getting is not related to this slamming. I doubt it, considering that this person was picking on others too. I sincerely hope this person has gotten their kicks and/or gotten tired of the whole game and left.
CakeDiva, please know that we all stand with you 100% and know that your talent is real and awesome!
