I only have one three tier wedding cake this week. I managed to do everything else but the cake today, so here I am decorating . . .

DH's birthday tomorrow and I won't bake his cake until tomorrow morning. Nothing like planning ahead.

Two dozen cupcakes and a 1/2 sheet cake for tomorrow. The gumpaste toppers and other decorations are already made so all I have to do is assemble.

I've got two that go early tomorrow - a tier cake for 75 year old twins, and a farm cake for twin boys, turning two. It's been a crazy week, so I am not where I'd like to be - progress wise. Both are fairly simple (famous last words) - still, I really like a good head start.

No cake for me! We have worked hard on our building the past two days. In this heat, I am exhausted by sunset. I do have a tasting in two weeks with the possibility of a paid for cake in December-whoo hooo! Everybody stay cool.

Three dozen strawberry cupcakes with strawberry mousseline frosting. One lemon cake, torted and frosted in lemon buttercream. For some reason the cake looks huge. The customer was delighted ....I think she can feed an army on this cake. I had a last minute call for 2 large cheesecakes last night for pickup today. I covered one in ganache and the other in fresh raspberry sauce. I was kinda please with myself on such a quick turnaround. The rest of the week was spent putting up peach preserves and freezing peach slices and puree for the rest of the year. Best of all I put up 36 jars of bourbon poached peaches. My son puts them in cocktails at his bar back in California.
No license or insurance. Put lead wires in cakes, never wash hands, cake boards are used cardboard. No contracts cause I can't read or write. No lawyer cause I'm judgment proof. I bake with old mix boxes found behind Walmart. Now about my question

Do any of you have food trucks in your cities?

Evening everyone,

It's a cake-free night for me and it looks to be quiet for the next few weeks. I might have something for my SiL and for a friend's little girl but both are iffy. The problem is I keep finding ideas I want to play with and I don't have a reason to bake/decorate. grrrrrrr Hubby's co-workers may get cake.

Latest cake was picked up Monday--it was a welcome back for the Navy hubby of one my former students. He just came home from a 5 month deployment with the Sea Bees. Here's a peek if you are curious:

Leah--Trendy food trucks are a big deal in LA but I'm inland in the outer reaches of commuter land where it isn't that big a deal yet.

So I'm not the only one up baking? I waited to bake until the sun went down...even with AC I didn't want to heat up my kitchen! The cake is a breeze...for my son in law's best friends little boys birthday...just a Pokemon edible image on a 9 x 13..but a double layer!! Doing it just for cost since
I know they don't have a lot of money. Feels good to be just be doing a butter cream cake!! No more fighting with fondant till the 13th of August, have 3 2-tiers and cupcakes for that weekend. Gosh I hope the heat breaks...I'm in MN and its been in the 90's to over 100 for weeks now...ugh! Been fighting with fondant! As soon as my cake is cooled, another half hour tops! Woo hoo! Then I can go to bed.

How long has this Friday night thing been going on? What a great idea!

No cake for me. Have a tiered sweet 16 next week for my girlfriends daughter. Trying to decide if I want to start the gumpaste lambs tonight or not. It was a hot day and I am just starting to cool down...
I wasn't going to do anything today so far I'm right on schedule.

Hello All those up and working,
I have one cake for a friends granddaughter due tomorrow, she wanted a 3d Rapunzel cake (they supplied the Rapuzel doll) I just did the Wonder-mold pan and added extra layers, I wanted to do it all in buttercream, but I'm not sure how the bodice of the doll will look, I want it to look classy not the piped star look, I was thinking about trying modeling chocolate, but I haven't really worked with it enough yet. I keep looking at the crumb coated cake and put it off, I'll probably be up all night because I just don't know what to do...

Leah_s- as for Food trucks we have two in our town, one is just your average "Roach coach" burgers, fries and grilled cheese etc... the other is a new "Green" Cart, everything is eco friendly they only serve specialty hot-dogs, solar powered and all, its a pretty cool deal!!
