Exciting Weekend for me - Part 1

Friday, July 18th, 2008

This weekend is a special one for me, for a few reasons: - The very first Celebration Generation client is getting married on Saturday! Like most of our clients, she booked waaaaay in advance.  So, while she’s far from being our first delivery, it’s still a cool milestone, I think!- It’s all about the sugar / gumpaste with the two wedding cakes going out this weekend! More on that in a minute.- Both cakes got delivered tonight. A Friday! That means I actually have a weekend off for once! Very excited about that. What am I gonna do? Work, of course… but more on that in tomorrows’ blog! Very excited about what I’m doing this weekend..

Insanity!

Saturday, June 21st, 2008


If you’re one of my cake buddies, you likely know how much I hate piping flowers. I say this theoretically, because I haven’t piped a frosting flower since I was about 16, and my good friend Medea got married. No wait, it was before then - I’d already gotten sick of them. I remember now - I’d made calla lilies out of sheets of beeswax to adorn the top of her cake! Anyway, my memory issues aside.. I’m much more of a fondant jockey than a traditional cake lady. I’d rather sculpt than do embroidery, too!

So, when I met up with a cool couple that I wanted to work with.. but who wanted a cake COMPLETELY covered with piped flowers, I faced a dilemma. I ended up throwing my misgivings to the wind, and signed on with them.

Surprise Party!

Sunday, November 11th, 2007


Whew. What a party!

Last night was my friend Mandi’s birthday. This is the woman who went from hiring me - as a complete stranger - to becoming my favorite client EVER, to the person who started me off in the HUGE change of career from flowers to cakes.. to a good friend. One of the sweetest, most fun people I’ve known, and she’s like a little sister to me.

Her husband is great too, and he planned this party as a surprise for her. To be honest, I wasn’t sure he’d manage to pull it off. She’d ASKED him to plan a surprise party (kinda makes that difficult!), she lives next door to one person that was instrumental in pulling it off, and works with someone else! (more…)
