Friday Night Cake Club 3/1/13

Craftsy has a sale on and I bought some more of their classes so I will spend some time on the weekend watching.  It's a long weekend here in W.A. so will probably not do too much with cake but try and spend some extra time with hubby as he won't be off at sport all weekend.
 

Hello Everyone,

 

Not too much happening this weekend. Just a small 1st birthday cake, ninja turtle head cake, and a Low Fat weightloss celebration cake (still don't really understand the whole idea..... lol) It is scale with a small piece of gumpaste "cake" with the weight in ounces and a food label with the total stats that the group has lost, calories, fats, etc.

 

Nice to have all smal cakes for once. Next week is a BIG week though so I will have to get started on that as soon as these ones are out the door!

Had one cake for yesterday. This weekend it's quality time with loved ones.

It's slowed down a bit after v-day but we still had some decent cakes this weekend. I had a crazy day when I got a call telling me I didn't schedule an opener, but it was easily fixed. We also had a tour come through on tue. from the retail bakers association convention which was a bit nuts. I'm also throwing in 2 from last weekend because I'm proud of them.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I eventually went to bed last night at midnight..... I was up modeling some Easter fondant figures for a friend. I don't charge for the stuff and I am purely a hobby baker and do it for my own stress relief. I got a poppy cutter on Friday and just couldn't wait to try something with it so I used to to make a Lilly pad for a frog I made as well. 

 

I have two boys and they are now at a age where they want to buy me a mothers day present and next Sunday is mothers day here in Ireland. They have been moaning about not having money to buy me a gift.... My hubby works in another country and cant help them organize something so I said I would give them some cash to buy me something and they said that they will get me something for baking as it makes me sooo happy:-) bless them.

 

The nearest good baking supply store is a fair bit away so we will need to make a day of it and I am supposed to go in with them and tell them a list of stuff I like and then leave them to it so its a surprise.

I totally goofed on my schedule this week, and as a result have been up til 5 am every night since Tuesday, and back up at 8:30. I so need a receptionist!

I'm probably going to need some sort of addiction therapy after all the caffeine I have consumed!

At least everything is almost done and will be ready to deliver tomorrow morning, then back home for a 24 hour 'nap' :)

 

The weight loss cake is hilarious, I would totally reward myself with cake if I lost weight, lol.

Milkmonkey I love that the kids want to buy you their own present.  When my kids were little we did mothers and fathers day presents but with a very low cash amount on them, so if they didn't make it they had to put their thinking caps on.  One year they bought me 2 reels of cotton as I loved sewing for them.  This meant far more to me than the expensive presents friends got because it really was from the kids and not from my husband.
 

My weekend is over now, has been very busy with 3 weddings and a baby shower, now time to sleep and then enjoy my work-free Sunday with my kids and hubby. oh, here is some pics






and I didn't get any pics of the 3rd wedding cake because silly me forgot to check my phone battery before delivery and it died
