My mom told me today that two of the nurses that work for her want to hire me to make cakes fro their children's birthdays.

AAAAAAA!

I am so nervous/scared. I dont even know what they want or when they will want them, but I'm already freaking out. My first real paid orders!

I gave my mom the cake order sheets I worked up hat have all the cake flavors and icings I know how to make, and it has my e-mail on it if they need to get a hold of me.

Oh dear! I hope I can do well for them!!

Good for you--you'll do fine!
Most decorators are a perfectionist...you will see all the mistakes but other people don't.
When they call, take a deep breath and let the creativity start to flow!

Your cakes are great you don't have anything to worry about. One thing that helps me is the fact that I only make cakes because I love to do it. Not for the $.(but it's nice) I just love to decorate. .

That's wonderful, I found out with my first paid order, that once I started decorating, all tension left, and I had fun.

Oh wow, thank you all so much for your kind words!

I make me feel more confident knowing that all you experienced decorators think I can do a good job.

It'll probably be a few days before I find out what they want, I'm going to try not to worry about it until I hear from them.

But you can rest assured I'll probably be here asking a million and one questions before I'm done!

I haven't had much stress just working on my family and friend's cakes so hopefully this won't be too bad either!

Thank you all again for your encouragements!
