You just need to develop that inner voice that says " Step away from the cake "  , it is the most valuable decorating tool that you will ever possess

If I didn't have icing on hand it would take longer; this also doesn't include shopping or invoicing. And, of course, if I was in an anal OCD mode (happens more when I only have one cake to do) it could easily take twice the amount of time. A wise decorator once said to me:

 

Will they notice?

Will they care?

Will they pay?

 

Good advice.
 

That is the absolute truth with me! If I have 2, 2 tier cakes to do, it will take about 10 hours. If I have 1 2 tier cake to do, it will take me about 10 hours! 

I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.

The person who works for nothing will always have plenty to do!

My sarcasm is good-humored. People generally really like me, in person ;-)
