I am looking for three competitors for our annual live competition (1 1/2 hours) that we have held for the past 19 years midday Saturday, September 29. Ideally these will come from folks already planning on being here and a great practice run for those wanting to "throw themselves off a bridge" on reality TV! Write to me on kvsugarartkv@gmail.com Must NOT be folks who have competed in this before!

Last years was so much fun!!

07/17/12 @ 7:22 am by cakeswithcharacter

sounds like so much fun. if i was going i would SO try for it....i mean heck what does anyone have to loose right::)

07/17/12 @ 8:10 am by Tiona Spade Spade

Kerry that sounds like fun. Last year it was cupcakes and a sculpting item right?

07/17/12 @ 8:52 am by redtiaraprincess

The ginger People competition Paul Joachim won, interesting we don't see him here anymore.

07/17/12 @ 9:28 am by kerry

Nothing to lose Tiona.

07/17/12 @ 9:29 am by kerry

I emailed you Kerry!!

07/17/12 @ 10:44 am by cakeswithcharacter

I'd be a nervous wreck in front of my peers.

07/17/12 @ 11:56 am by Sally Hackney

Yeah Kerry...last I saw anything about Paul was the video someone had posted of his "Ellen" cake submission. But I haven't seen him post here in like forever.

07/17/12 @ 12:05 pm by Sally Hackney

Didn't specially love the Ellen thing, looked strange to me.

07/17/12 @ 3:59 pm by kerry

Yes I thought it a tad creepy.

07/17/12 @ 6:10 pm by Sally Hackney

Haha... if you do it, DON'T let your husband pack for you and forget to pack simple things like... a KNIFE, and ICING, and the general things needed for a SCULPTED CAKE competition! I had fun, but I wanted to wring Troy's neck the entire time! He was in the dog house for a long long time for that one!

07/17/12 @ 6:39 pm by ivyj2

Yes, there are several that don't post here anymore.

07/17/12 @ 6:44 pm by ivyj2

So very true, sorry Jayne I forgot to pack the kitchen sink. Ya know what I mean LOL

07/17/12 @ 8:50 pm by Sandys Sweets

LOL Sandy! Thank goodness you did bring so much with you!! I would have been totally up the creek otherwise! I am still amazed at how well I kept it together... I think that's what scared him the most. Oh gosh..... what a nightmare!!! He forgot EVERYTHING!!! I can't think about this... I'm getting mad all over again. He may have to sleep on the couch tonight!

07/17/12 @ 9:21 pm by ivyj2

Cakes with character did I reply to you?? Not sure I got an e-mail, got quite a few just making sure.

07/17/12 @ 10:47 pm by kerry

Its ok Jayne you can let up on him now I think he has learned his lesson . And won't do it gain :)

07/17/12 @ 11:04 pm by Sandys Sweets

Sorry for the inconvenience guys. We are working hard to fixing the problems

All your points were calculated and you received all your mission points. We found for some reason you got 50 upon 50 for mission bonuses when the missions didn't even exist. But I assure you, you did get the mission bonuses you did complete...

06/28/12 @ 4:15 pm by flameorigin

06/28/12 @ 5:53 pm by Brian Shockley

Tiona please don't get mad at Flameorigin, she is only doing her job! Not even when I was here every day posting as much as I could and doing all the missions and tweeting and connecting to Facebook did my points go up like that, there is a cap on how many you can earn in a day! Hopefully the problem has been fixed and now we can go back to the real reason we are all here; enjoying eachothers company!

06/28/12 @ 8:47 pm by cakedesire

Tiona, 99% of the people here post for each other's company and advice, not for the prize and competition. Yes, it might be nice to receive a gift, but overall it's not about that! You will always get a chance to try and win again!

06/29/12 @ 2:06 am by Justin Lynch

And if you really came back for the "people" .....why are you going on and on about the points???? No one else comes here for that reason. It's a lovely place to come where there is no drama. Just people who enjoy each other.

06/29/12 @ 8:14 am by Sally Hackney

Tiona and I have shared an e-mail and she wants to be one of the group. She did play all the games and follow the threads, she is new and did what the site suggests, she realises now it is about the friendships and not so much about the points --when you are new and know no one you canbe forgiven for not realising. Some people want to play the games and FT offers that option if we choose to use it and not bother about the points then that is up to us. BUT it is what FT is all about so we can't knock Tiona for playing. Let's get back to being our fabulous hospitable selves and move on! xxxxx to all.

I am wiped! I got finished what I needed to today. Tomorrow I need to do the groom's cake, then I'll stack and finish the wedding cake on saturday. Hope everyone's doing well. Good night!

Hi Carla! How did grooms starting having a seperate came at their wedding? It's. It something that happens here; or if it does not very often.

06/29/12 @ 2:01 am by Justin Lynch

Cake even!

06/29/12 @ 2:02 am by Justin Lynch

Weddings here are all about the bride, so the grooms cake is suppose to be just for the groom and his likes, hobbies, etc... something that's all about him! Basically, at some point and time some guy was whining and the women planning the wedding said here..... we'll make you a "special cake".... just for you! And that's probably how it all started! LOL

06/29/12 @ 8:04 am by ivyj2

YEA for Carla!!!! Justin...I actually can't remember when I started hearing of grooms cakes but it's been going on for a while now.

06/29/12 @ 8:07 am by Sally Hackney

Hi Carla, I like making the grooms cakes because they are fun and we have more room to play whereas the wedding cake is what it is. Post pics please

06/29/12 @ 11:06 am by redtiaraprincess

doing a grooms cake has been a tradition in the south forever and it kind of died out for awhile and then in "steel magnolias" that movie with Julia roberts, she had a grooms cake and all of a sudden it was back. I do alot of grooms cakes as a way to add servings without having a humugas brids cake.

06/29/12 @ 11:58 am by Dianne Holgate

I love that movie Dianne!

06/29/12 @ 3:53 pm by cakedesire

Never saw that movie.....need to LOL

06/29/12 @ 4:11 pm by TraciiVCL

Morning all! TGIF AND payday! I am looking forward to a nice break this weekend, get a few things ready for my holiday, currency, suntan lotion and a few new clothes and I'll be happy! I can't wait to feel some heat and dip my feet in the Adriatic riviera! Happy Friday!!

I'm so jealous! My next "break" isn't until Tulsa. Have a great time!

06/29/12 @ 7:59 am by ivyj2

Woo hoo Justin....sounds amazing. And COOL....how nice would that be???

06/29/12 @ 8:05 am by Sally Hackney

Justin, the adriatic is amazing. I encourage you to try to eat burek, very thin layers of dough with cheese and/or meat. Have fun.

06/29/12 @ 11:04 am by redtiaraprincess

You have a great time! I just got back from the mountains and it was beautiful!

06/29/12 @ 11:55 am by Dianne Holgate

You will turn such a lovely shade of red butt!!!!

06/29/12 @ 3:52 pm by cakedesire

Holidays are fun!

06/29/12 @ 4:10 pm by Edna De la Cruz

Pea green here!!!!!!!

06/29/12 @ 4:11 pm by TraciiVCL

I have written to Fantourage to say that I am not happy with the way the site is. Posts not recorded, people being being blocked from the site, even me, points not posted, points just vanishing; as of today the total recorded points were reduced from 18,000 ++ to 4000 ++. This group is very active and this is not fair to those who are interested in winning the monthly incentives. Please report any problems you have had into a response to this post so the administrators can see what they need to fix and get it

There was no ca ching to this post either!

06/28/12 @ 1:00 pm by kerry

There are times when I post no points are added and then when I leave and come back all kinds of points go flying as if to do catch up.

06/28/12 @ 1:57 pm by redtiaraprincess

Same here Kath.

06/28/12 @ 2:13 pm by Sally Hackney

So far no problems getting signed on though.

06/28/12 @ 2:14 pm by Sally Hackney

This is the info that Flameorigin needs to know so hope everyone wil post their problems so we can see the common elements and that way it will help them solve the problems.

06/28/12 @ 2:33 pm by kerry

personally I've never paid attention to the points. I wouldn't know if they were right or not....

06/28/12 @ 7:34 pm by ivyj2

Nor do I Jayne, but some like to participate in that aspect and since it is available then they should be able to.

06/28/12 @ 9:25 pm by kerry

It appears that Tiona really likes to play the games and do the missions and watch the videos and so forth, which I must admit I have never done a mission, I don't even know what they are -- so she accrued a lot of points because she pretty much went all the way back to the beginning, she probably knows a lot of things that we have already forgotten. Hopefully it will truly be fixed.

06/28/12 @ 9:39 pm by kerry

I wouldn't think too much about it. It did looked a bit strange. In all the time we've been here I never seen anybody with that many points. And there was a time I was here constantly and doing missions just for the fun. But I come here mainly for the people. So I really dont watch the points as much. I love my fantourage friends.

06/28/12 @ 10:32 pm by Edna De la Cruz

Well said Edna!

06/28/12 @ 10:40 pm by kerry

This page is all about the people at the end of the day! That's the best prize anyone can have here!!!

06/29/12 @ 2:08 am by Justin Lynch

Yes big serious friendships here.

06/29/12 @ 8:45 am by kerry

I noticed the same as kathy but i didn't worry to much about it

06/29/12 @ 12:03 pm by Dianne Holgate

Yes it has been odd!

06/29/12 @ 1:18 pm by kerry

Very serious friendships!!! and we try to meet at OSSAS!

06/29/12 @ 7:16 pm by Edna De la Cruz

Too true Justin!

I apologize in advance Tiona Spade...a lot of missions were done, but a bug in the system skyrocketed your score amazingly...

System was adjusted, but the system is improving as we speak. You aren't penalized. May I ask how you racked up the points? We saw an obvious glitch in the system but would love to know how that happened

06/27/12 @ 8:16 am by flameorigin

Well Tiona sorry you don't want to share with us anymore , we are not about the point we are about the sharing.
