Friday Night Cake Club 12/7/12

Well, I'm going to bed so that I can get up early in the morning and bake my daughter's birthday cake.......CANDYLAND. Will sleep thinking about what to use for decorations on it.

Good Evening Cat and all, It has been quite a while since I have posted, things have been overwhelmingly busy, but its great! I opened an actual shop a few weeks ago and things have completely exploded since. I am really the only one in my area that does the kind of cakes that I do and apparently people are loving it! Which is great, I couldn't be happier.

Delivered 10 dozen cupcakes this morning, and I have a smash cake, 2 tire cakes for twin boys, a beach cake for 50 and 2 giant cupcakes all for tomorrow. Shouldn't be to late of a night, they are all pretty close to being done.

I will look for your penguin cake! I LOVE penguins they are soo adorable.

A baby shower cake for a neighbor. The theme is trains.

Then I have a Christmas package cake that I'm doing to cheer a neighbor up that got laid off a couple of days ago. 

This weekend is all about sugar-free and gluten-free desserts for a party.  I've got Mini Lemon Bundts, Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies, Strawberry Santas, Sugar Cookies (yes they are SF and GF), Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookies, and maybe some Red Velvet Cupcakes.

I stacked, carved and crumbcoated a cake for a competition on Sunday. Can't wait to decorate it tomorrow. Actually, I have mixed feelings... I've been putting every spare minute into it for the past 2 weeks; I'll be really glad to be done with it even though I'm excited about it. It's a decoraing contest but involves tasting, too so I have to make a small tasting cake. I also entered the cupcake competition. I bit off almost more than I can chew with this.

shanienee, I'd love a reason to make a candy land cake :). Brettley, congrats on your shop! Cat, I can't wait to see your penguin cake.

Cat:

I am a one woman show.... I don't have a storefront, so maybe shop isn't the right word. Just a kitchen for now. I want to see how this goes first before I decide to do an actual storefront. Have to keep the costs low for now. See how things pan out. There is definitely room for a storefront, someday I hope.

Elcee: I hope you post pictures, I am looking forward to seeing them. You do such beautiful work. I wish we had comptetitions and stuff like that where I am from. Maybe someday.

Oh no! Not a full train. A two tiered stacked round cake, with a choo-choo train cutout filled with things babies need around the side of the bottom tier.
