44. Hahaha Lesley asked this on her FB Page some time back.
Let me show you my reply! ;)

What a hoot! Can we not all relate to at least 90% of these??
Here’s mine:

45…when you buy a package of NAPKINS because you are inspired by the pattern and your husband looks at you like a nut when you scream at him for daring to open them:)

46….you refer to your Kitchen Aid as your 4th child (she doesn’t really have a name though!)

47….you consider other cakers whom you have never met (and probably never will) some of your greatest friends because of the time you spend on Facebook chatting/posting/cake talking!!

48….when you’re watching the original “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and during the scene where they’re in the chocolate room where everything is edible, your 7-year old son leans over and says, “Momma, is that fondant?”

Haha All So True!

This is fantastic! Oh my, I actually started crying I was laughing so hard! So true! Every single one of them… from rainbow nose-blows to the swiping of your kid’s play-dough cutters!

49… when your Christmas list consists of cutters, molds, cake stands and gadgets for decorating rather than jewelry, clothing and shoes!

@RockCandyCakes about the chocolate room, That’s great! Made my laugh!

50…when you can caulk better than your contractor because of all your piping experience.

51. When 90% of your facebook newsfeed is cakes, cupcakes, cake tutorials, and cakesdecor :)

52. When you are scraping all the icing off a cake at 2 am and your husband says “it’s cake, not world peace, they are going to cut into it and eat it tomorrow!! They are never going to see what you think you see as a flaw”
I have since learned to walk away and it looks ever so much better in the morning. :)

53—When you cancel plans because you have to get a cake done- or you take the day off from your 9-5 job to finish a FREE cake for someone-ugh, I’ve done both!

I am cracking up with these posts- all so funny because they are true!!!

54. you go to a sushi bar and save the chopsticks to use them as dowel rods for later :)

55. If people ask you " if you’re married, then why are you not wearing your wedding ring? " lol! i don’t know if this happen to you guys but always happen to me and i just answer " coz i always bake cake and i don’t want my wedding ring to be an extra bonus to their cakes, lol!"

56. if you have a shower in the middle of the night just to get rid of the sugary smell of your skin.

… and totally YESYESYES to all the other 55. reasons!!! ;-)

Yes to about 95% of everything above!

57. . . when you go to a wedding and spend more time staring at & analyzing the wedding cake than the bride & groom!

58. . . when all your friends & family begin to stash bubble tea straws & chopsticks for you.

59. . . when you go to Home Goods, Target, Marshall’s & TJMaxx and immediately head to the baking & houseware section.

60. . . when you buy a new dress & think the colors would look awesome on a cake.

61. . . when you show up to a family function & your mom points our that you have glitter dust still on your face (or on your husband’s face for that matter).

62. . . when your husband can’t find his wire cutters because you’ve taken possession of them to cut floral wire.

63…..if you regulary leave the house with icing sugar in your hair/face or clothes

64. and…..if you kids get invited to lots of parties in the hope you will make the cake

65…. when you’re watching Downton Abbey and the wedding is cancelled and all I can say is …. “but what about that gorgeous cake???!” I hope it was a fruit cake so it will keep till the next one! x

66. If you are reading this and laughing that all of this is so true ;)

laughing so much I cry! haha!! xx

Everything I look at these days I wonder how it could be assembled into a cake and me too, my baby boys first word was cake. I just LOVE CAKE and I’m loving this thread…….

You answer the front door – and sign for a parcel and only after the delivery man has gone – do you realize that you had a blob of icing on your nose!…..:) Kx

67. You read cake decorating books from cover to cover like they are a suspense novel

Loooooooool, you made me cry of laughter!!!! YES to all of them! I remember going to see clients for a wedding consultation, not blowing my nose with colour….but having two perfect blue circles around my nostrils! And my KA´s name is Robert ;-)

68. When your kids walk around with pink feet soles and your dog is pink for one week because it was raining and you had to airbrush a cake inside (They washed, but pink takes ages to go!!!)

Love this thread!!! hahaha

69. Because you do nothing but look at cakes when you’re online…….your 2 year old thinks the laptop is called ‘Cake’ :) x

70. If your favorites tv shows are those about cake decorators…

71. When you go to any store and find totally not cake related things and manage to transform such things (in your head) into something totally cake related in 5 seconds :)

72. When your husband ask you (who is not into caking) “what caking gadgets would you like for your birthday”..I was tempted to tell him “A SHEETER HONEY” but I didn’t want him to choke on his food :)

When your 3 year old wants to “help” and says “can I have some fondant…NOT modeling chocolate” (because she knows that after a few minutes modeling chocolate will be an oily mess in her hands!)

73. When you can’t find your counter but you know after the cake is done it will return … until the next cake
74. When all you dream about is the perfect cake kitchen right down to where the tips and brushes would be stored, and
75. when you know there really isn’t a perfect kitchen ‘cause you can’t stop buying everything you see … that just might be the next best cake gadget :)

76. When ur idea of a ‘weekend day out’ involves visiting your favourite cake supply shop!

These are do brilliant and true!

Ya’ll made my day!!! Too funny!!!

77. when you pick up your kids from school and get strange looks from the other parents because your face is covered in luster dust and your clothes are covered in white dust (sugar or flour).

Luster dust is gonna be a brilliant Christmas accessory and completely unintentional!

Can’t wait to get my coupons from Michaels so i can go get my cake dicount stuff,Yahoo

78. We were away on holidays and I bought some shower gel. I poured some in my daughters hand and she says. “Wow, it looks like white chocolate”. This thread was the first thing I thought of. Lol. Happy New Year everyone.

79. ….if you spend 14 hours on your feet working on cakes, only to come home, eat cold left overs and fire up the laptop to look at everybody else’s cakes!

80. …..if…your in the department store snapping photos with your cellphone, of the spring fashions for inspiration.

81. ….if…..your in the craft store snapping photos with your cellphone of the silk, black and white, polka dotted Gerber daisies thinking, “Dang! I could do that in gum paste!”.
(I’m considering seeking professional help for this obsession of mine!)

82. ….(last one, I promise) …if…you physically threaten the one who uses your VIVA paper towels over the cheaper brand you use for clean up.

Okay, absolute last one but it was so funny I had to share.

83….if…your sitting on your laptop, look up and you have 4 tabs all open to CAKESDECOR.COM!

84 – when you’re looking to remodel the kitchen…to make it more cake friendly, of course:)

These are hiliarious!! Thanks everyone for sharing your cake humor!!

85. If the only thing you want for your wedding anniversary present is a new compressor!

86. If your husband frequently says you should change the name of your business to ‘Cake Life’ or ‘Life Cake’ because you spend you life making, looking at and talking about cake!

87. you pick up a bottle top and think…. “this would make an excellent cutter”…

or… Look at an old typewriter in a pub, photograph it to death because this is on the “to do list”

you see everything around you as a potential cake… I drive my husband potty… my favourite saying is “oh that would make a great cake”… hahahaha :)

my folders are jam paced with ideas from just looking at things around me and visualising it as a cake!!

Thank you Michal for such a great idea for cakers to respond to :)

88. Your credit card company puts a hold on your account because charges look fraudulent when you shop at a surgical supply store, beauty supply store, art store, wholesale restaurant supply store, and cake decorating store in one day.

Thanks for the giggles! Love all the responses

If gifts for birthdays and christmas and all occassion that u requested are molds and cutters and all those caking stuff plus you look haggard on holiday pictures bec.. U stayed up late making the cake :)

Hahaha…I loved when you think down on someone for having store bought frosting in their cabinet! and when powdered sugar is on sale! Yes to all!

89. When you finally get to go to sleep, then an cake design pops in your head and you have to get up and sketch it!

27. You can’t sleep at night because you saw a picture of a fish and you cant stop thinking about how that would make an awesome cake, and you could use piping gel to give it a water effect, and you could use lustre for the scales, you could use royal icing for the waves and you could make him look like he was jumping, yeah jumping that would be cool, but how would you do it, dowels? Etc Etc Etc!!

ha or even 90! lol sorry

91. When you go into B&Q and ask the guy behind the till for nuts, bolts and screw threaded rod and then look bemused at his reaction when you explain its not for any DIY, it’s for a giant cake in the shape of a chicken!

92.When you stock up on baking clearance items instead of home decor after each Holiday!
