Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

I've recently entered the beautiful, exciting and challenging world of cake decorating. I absolutely love it. I've also started to have trouble with my joints. These past few weeks I haven't been able to even bake a cake. I'm waiting for some bloodwork to see if we can find out what I have that is causing very crippling joint pain.*

*Found out yesterday the results RA & Lupus*
I would like to know if there is anyone else out there suffering from arthritis or some other debilitating joint disease that is still able to decorate and how they do it?
I have my son's 1st birthday coming up and I pretty depressed that I may not be able to bake and decorate his cake.

Hi Kathy, I was wondering if you can email me the links to the sites you were referring to. Many of the sites I've found are just too depressing. Thanks for your positivity.

Hi Windy..... I'm sorry to hear about your results. BUT,,, keep positive. There are many things you can do and still be able to do cake decorating!
One thing is to change your eating, meaning, if based on the meds you will be or are taking, pomegranite fruit does wonders! Ginger powder is great for the digestive system and helps your hair grow. Cranberry does wonders too. You can go to lupus sites and read up all about it. Can't help you much there in the RA dept. I have "systemic lupus". I did alot of Chinese herbs and research and have pretty much not taken any meds for my lupus. I also changed my ora, from depression to positivie positive and " I " decided, I was not going to let my systemic lupus put me out for the count. I would win and keep doing my cakes. I know when to pace myself and when the lupus might flare up. But we are all here for you to cheer you on for cake decorating!!! And hopes you will get better soon!
