Hey everyone...right now I am working on two cakes. just came to check and see how to smooth %^*&$(# creamcheese frosting. Hate the stuff. I am using the crusting recipe but it looks cracked on the sides. Really un professional. I'll catch y'all laters. |

I have never attended a Cake Club. I think that it would be a lot of fun to get together with other cake ladies. What kind of things do you do?
I live in East Texas, so I wouldn't be able to attend y'alls, but I was curious about needing to be prepared. Do you get assigned things to do, or is it just a relaxed time to be with friends?

Deb, as this is the first cake club I will attend, I am unsure of everything that happens. I know that at this one I am going to Sunday, we are going to be learning to make fondant animals and we are also doing a cookie exchange. As for preparing, I'm not sure what tichay meant by getting ready....unless she is the one teaching how to do the fondant animals. Maybe she will tell us if she checks back in on this thread.

Ive enjoyed this thread and look forward to catching up on everyone but for some reason I stopped receiving the alerts that there were new posts, so I need to check that out.
Angela, my mom went to college and became a nurse after I was was out of school and married. Im guessing she was about 41 or so. She is still doing it. How old are you if you dont mind?
I would be interested in getting together. I cant do it on Sundays or on Wednesday nights (church) but there is a good chance I could at some other time. Just let us know. Im not sure what you do at cake club meetings, but Id love to try it.
Today I am making cupcakes with cake ball turkeys on top to send with the kids to school. Tomorrow I am making a simple target and arrow cake for my 8 yr old sons bday. |

hi jj! yeah i know i only just received my first two alerts in days. i think its cuz of the maintenance. i am 41 and have four kiddos at home. my dh works an awful lot and right now he is in school in the evenings til dec. so i stay pretty busy. i am going out of town this weekend to visit my best friend and this will be the first i have seen her since i had gone back to get our stuff out of storage, so its been like four years and can't wait, well that was long, what i wanting to say is that i never get a break, no joke. no family helps me out or babysits unless it is an emergency. luckily we haven't had too many of those this year. thank you so much for the info on your mother and her age jj, i can be very hard on myself and thinking of my age, well... it has been a bit discouraging.
yeah i can't for diamond to get our first meeting together. |

AngelaTX,
Is the nursing program you want to get into a 2 yr or 4 yr program? I did a 2 yr. ADN (RN)program and then after working a couple of years I entered a program at UT Medical Branch in Galveston that was geared to RN's working toward a BSN. That way you don't have to do all the clinicals because you are already a licensed, working nurse. I did all this while working full-time small child at home and pregnant w/my second. At the time you feel like you can't breathe you are so busy but before you know it you are finished! In 4 yrs you will still be 45 - whether you are a nurse or not. We need more good nurses to join our ranks! Hang in there. |

Hey y'all. I got my stuff done and delivered!
To be honest, I have no idea where to begin other then just set up a time and place to meet with the only objective being getting to know one another. Perhaps we could do a simple basic BC demo. To see what each of us does, doesn't do, and to get ideas from one another. I think that once we are together things will go smoother.
Items to discuss and resolve:
1) Location of first meeting?
2) Date and time of first meeting?
3) Individual host or rent a location, ie a community center etc? (If we rent, then we all would need to pitch in $$ to cover the cost)
4) Is car pooling an option?
PLEASE pitch in ideas! |

hi diana! well maybe we can take turns meeting in our towns, so that way not everyone has to drive all the way all the time and leave it up to that person to find a location. unless thats not feasible for some. car pooling would be great and we could pitch in for gas if we had to travel. will we go to elpaso if we do the "taking turns" option?? sounds like so much fun! |
