Fall Weather Coming In

Loving the fall weather. Gearing up for Oklahoma! Starting to pack--check; walking shoes--check; autograph apron--check; cupcake pajamas--check; extra sending money--check! MIL is leaving for Germany on Tuesday...my poor hubby will be home alone. ALONE???? He's got the 4 babies to look after and look after him. Only one wedding and groom's cake next weekend. My good friend, Carrie Beckham with Candy and Cakes By Carrie will set it up for me. Thanks Carrie!
Wedding consult went well...Booked for 1-29-11--hmmm? Wonder if I will get used to writing 2011...looks funny!

Weekend cakes completed

Aaahhh...the weekend cakes are completed...Loved the Hooters cake..that one was my favorite. The Big Top cake...cute. Funny thing about that one, I had misspelled one of the little girls' names. Glad I happen to check it before I walked out the door. The zebra and polka dots with a tiara cake...delivered to the Mud Hut. The fantasy flowers--wanted to make anenomes but didn't have any cutters so I made fantasy flowers with heart shaped cutters. I love how they turned out. Wished I had made more of them...the cake needed it.

Have a wedding consult tomorrow.

Next Friday--OKLAHOMA STATE SUGAR ART SHOW!!! WooHoo--Roadtrip with the girls!

Cake for a special guy

Thursday nite--finally finished the "Hooter's" cake for a special person. I think it turned out pretty darn good. All fondant with an edible image logo! She is truly blessed, don't you think?
3 cakes to finish for Saturday...Big Top cake, zebra and dots with a tiara, and a birthday cake with fantasy flowers. Oh and Batman cupcakes.
Love to sculpt cake...it really challenges the talent!

Hump Day

Dang it....I carry my cell phone with me everywhere so I can take pics. Did I take any last night in class? Nooooo!
Looks like this week's orders have already increased...working on a gumpaste tiara, flowers...adding another zebra cake. A new wedding consult yesterday for the weekend AFTER Thanksgiving.
And for those of you who really know me and my husband...he FINALLY made a decision on a camera and bought it! Let's see if he keeps it! He is notorious for returning things. Now I will start working on a couple of different backdrops for cake pics and he better not turn his nose up when I ask him to take pictures of them!!!
Tonite is baking night....Have to get all the cakes baked by Thursday as that starts decoration nite.
I am posting an inspirational cake for today to get my mojo going and then off to the grocery store!

Tuesday 9-21-2010

Tonite is Class 3 of Cake Decorating 101 at Kilgore College. Yes, you may call me Professor, now! Hahahaha! Working on getting those roses just right! I have 6 students...eager to learn students!
The cakes for this weekend include a 2-tier birthday cake with fantasy flowers, a 2-tier zebra and polka dot cake with a tiara topper, a Hooters birthday cake and Batman cupcakes.......So far!
Looking forward to Tulsa on October 1st for the Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show (OSSAS)...a roadtrip with other cake friends. My husband will love that because when I get back, I don't "talk" cake for a few days. God bless him....he's my sounding board and third eye for my designs. He's my "go to" person when I get bogged down in a cake design.
Well, I better run along right now. Check back tomorrow and I will post some pics from the class.
Cheerios!!!!
