The kiddo's did a great job of thinking outside the box.  With no experience and little guidance they did great on all their projects.  For the past several weeks I have catered to about 15 students total; ages ranged from 7-17.  They worked on flip-flops, purses, a gift box, cookies bouquets and even chocolate covered strawberries.  My favorite part was watching Elizabeth stick out her tongue while she worked diligently on her project.  Every time she was serious into her project that little tongue would come out. Thanks kiddo's for giving me the pleasure in teaching you; hope to see you next year; their sure to be some great projects.

OMG let me tell you that I am all for doing cupcake weddings... With the right stand you can have the most gorgeous look.  Today was the day to deliver 80 cupcakes, 8" and a 6" cake all filled with pineapple filling - Yum!  Everything started great this morning... got to the shoppe finished the guitar cake and looked over the cupcakes.  It is amazing how a little thing can look so good. 

O.K. so not everything went great... LOL how could everything always go good when you are doing a wedding cake?  Something is bound to go wrong? right?  right?  Well, I asked my wonderful helper to go start my car and drive the car around the building then leave the car on to let the car cool down.  Five minutes later I am loading up all those cute little cupcakes and cakes.  OMG, my cars A/C was hot, YES HOT air was blowing out!  I thought... this can't be happening, o.k. I am not going to panick the wedding is not far and I will be fine.  Got in the car and placed the car in drive, the car went no where - no where I tell you.  My great helper left the ignition on but the car was turned off with just the hot A/C going.  I looked at my great helper and said; "don't you know that you are suppose to leave the car running???" He said no... I thought you just left the ignition on? LOL. Hey folks have a great weekend see you later.

Yesterday and today was a fantastic day!  I had cake buds come from everywhere to help with cakes... It is great to have friends that love to decorate cakes as much as you do.  Kristi made fondants balls all day along with a cute candle - Thanks girl! Crystal and Maria iced cakes and made more items for cakes.  My cousin Maria well she is God sent... When I am in overload and I need a molded figure I go to her and she bails me out!  Hurrah

Well, now that I own my own business I can easily say... It's alot of work.  Long hours and hardly no sleep!  I think I miss the days where I could do one or two cakes a week instead of... well let's just say alot of cakes each week. Cake decorating is suppose to be joyous & relaxing. What's your take on cake decorating?
