Brooke"


This was an especially nice comment since I had run into a great deal of traffic en route and arrived just 30 minutes before her beachhouse wedding was to start.

Congratulations Brooke and Kevin!

What should I ask my cake vendor?

Do you have a military (or other profession) discount?

What size will my cake be? How many servings is in each tier?

Is delivery and set-up free? How do you deliver?

Can I have a reference?

Do you freeze your cakes? When do you bake them?

What are your most popular flavors? Do you have a personal favorite?

Will you copy a picture? (Please keep in mind that while decorators will do their best to emulate a picture, it may be slightly different in reality due to size, colors, and the style of your decorator.)

What is your payment policy?


Just a few suggestions...happy cake shopping!

Baking tip of the day

If you are using a boxed cake mix, and are looking for a little more flavor...
try a flavored liquid Coffee-mate creamer. Add a 1/4 to 1/3 cup to your recipe, and wait for the compliments.

Ouch

I pulled a tendon in my foot yesterday. I've got a high pain tolerance, but this just dang hurts! When you do most of your work standing, this is not an optimal condition.
So, off my feet today mostly. I've got a busy weekend ahead, and fortunately, I can do a lot of the prep work sitting down (gumpaste bows, fondant shells, making umpteen "to do" lists). But, come Thursday and Friday, I've got a great deal of baking, baking, and baking to do. And some decorating. And then delivering. Thank goodness for coffee!

I've started booking for 2008 already; this has helped a great deal with my ideas for the future of the business. It doesn't seem like too long ago when I decided to bring a decorated cake to the bridal show in Southport instead of just my truffles and chocolate wedding favors. And so it began...

And last but not least...

Happy birthday to my wonderful husband Jack!

He has requested a giant Double Stuf Oreo cookie to celebrate. And how do you make a giant cookie? With smaller cookies and buttercream! (He told me not to bake!)

I'm feeling a little adventurous, too...need to tweak the flavor menu a bit. Any requests?

Beach weekend

Congratulations to Bridget and Jason.
