Just checking to see if there is anyone else out there that will not get any sleep tonight because they are decorating? I took on more then I should have for this weekend. So I will be up all night long. No sleep for me today. Anyone else?

Been there, done that! That's how I spent last weekend. I will never again take on 3 cakes for the same day. I work a full time job then come home and decorate, it wears you down. I feel your pain.

Yup, and I'm out of shortening, which means I should just go to bed and finish frosting everything tomorrow. But there's always something to do...and right now it's rebaking a sugar-free birthday cake that came out like a hockey puck.

I am going to bed at a decent time. I work a full time job and had 4 cakes this week. Finished two last night and delivered them to work today. Got a 1/2 sheet cake for baby 1st birthday for a friend and a smash cake. I get tired and get sloppy, so time to put it down until around 5:00 in the morning.

I too will be up all night again, I'm working on a castle cake for my niece's birthday party tomorrow afternoon, i'm on cake #5 of 6, so instead of making my icing like I should be doing,I'm on the computer with ya'll! Every Friday night I say "I won't stay up next weekend baking and decorating, but somehow, I end up doing it again... icon_smile.gif

Sorry CCer's this weekend my work was over today, I am so racked from all the work, I could start on next weeks orders but I have to be up early so lights out for me. I usually work at night and sleep by day Thurs - Sun.

I actually just turned the last layer out to cool, so I will be going to bed in a few minutes, I have a gumpaste class that I am taking on Saturdays. I have to be there at 10:00. Soo, goodnight everybody. See you tomorrow!
