Tequila Sunrise

Wow... what a week it has been!  I told you all on Thursday of my flight to Maryland for the weekend and that I would recap for you when I got back.  Well, as you know I flew to Maryland for a couple job interviews, to also check out a room for rent, and to spend some time with my babe.

Downtown Annapolis

Without giving the intricate details of the weekend... lets just say that out of the two job offers I recieved, I accepted the one from Palate Pleasers in Annapolis Maryland.  They are a family owned and operated bakery just outside of downtown Annapolis, and have been in buesiness for 20 years in July 2010!  The magic of the internet has allowed this catering company to increase it's cake business and asked me of all cake decorators to help them increase that business even more.



I'm excited to be able to start saying that I work in a bakery as a wedding cake decorator, as opposed to lowering my head when I say that I work at a grocery store.

The added stress of having to move is going to take it's toll on my blog, and I am sad to say that I will need to cut my blogs to once per week till I arrive in Maryland.  Blogs will resume normal schedule on tuesday July 6th.  

Till I see you all again on Tuesday, have a safe and amazing weekend

Vanilla Ice Ice Baby

Who says your birthday cake has to be warm?  Last time I checked it's just starting to heat up, and that generally means everything must be cold...  Iced tea, iced soda, cold showers, and cold cake?  Psssh, why not just go with the new American fad, the ice cream cake. Sure you could always go with a basic crappy Carvel ice cream cake, but why not take it up a notch and get an awesome cake from Cold Stone Creamery.  I try not to be the advertising guru for them, but they really deserve the attention.  Cold stone has a variety of ice cream, everything from the basic Vanilla to the Cake batter ice cream. If you haven't tried the cake batter ice cream, then I suggest you find the nearest cold stone and sample it.  mmmm yum I know that Ice Cream isn't really a cake product, but it's definitely earned its right to be called that at cold stone creamery.  For the hefty price tag of almost double a grocery store's prices you too can have a tasty birthday treat.

Mission Impossible:CAKE IMPOSSIBLE!

When did it become okay to order a cake at last minute? Did I miss the memo?!?! In the past 3 days I have completed nine last minute cake orders.. most of them to be completed within 10-20 minutes. I almost feel like Robert Irvine in "Dinner Impossible" when he's trying to complete an amazing event in an impossible amount of time. I've had customers ask for a few rediculous cake orders, one for example was a customer who wanted a 3-tier Fairytopia cake and they wanted the cake in 2 hours.  Even if I didn't have that much to do, I still would have told the customer no, and in fact I did tell the customer no.  I hate to turn down the extra money, but I just can't decorate under intense pressure like that.  In my last blog I talked about my ability to decorate cakes fast, but those cakes are just so basic that even 4-5 minutes for a basic double layer cake isn't unheard of. Now for the icing on the cake (so to speak): I had a customer come in yes

5 Minutes to sugar heaven

I totally spaced my monday blog...  I'll make it quick and fun :) Cupcake porn? The almighty cupcake makes it's return to the blog scene.. I've been playing around with some new flavors of cupcakes, flavor combinations like Chocolate strawberry decadence (chocolate cupcake filled with strawberry filling topped off with a poured dark chocolate).  I also have the White cupcake filled with strawberry filling, a layer of thin sliced banana's all topped off with whip cream and coconut shavings.  I've had a really hard time finding a name for that last one, so if you can come up with something... by all means let me know  :D   Pictures soon to come!!!  It's strawberry season so lets experiment
