CAKES CAKES CAKES

Well...

I've been thinking about it for quite some time now, and with some encouragement from Pat, and some nudges from some good friends over the years... I have decided to dabble in my own cake decorating business on the side.

I've made cakes as a hobby for quite a while, with a long break in between. I've made a few wedding cakes, small and tiered, lots of birthday cakes, and graduation cakes. Now - with our niece's wedding coming up very soon, and in helping with money-saving suggestions for the Big Day - my loving husband suggests that he knows someone "that if you talk real nice to her, would love to make your wedding cake!" Well, in not having made one in about 9 years, I "reluctantly" said yes, if I made some trial (single) layer test cakes since it had been soooo long. Well, it was a hit, and although I am always my own worst critic, I must say - it looked pretty darn good. Of course, with Jen being the individual that she is - is not having the stereotypical roses, but something showing her own individuality that I've never done. I think it will turn out beautifully and will have pictures up shortly after the wedding.

Of course, in the midst of all this, our neighbor does events planning at the local country club, and guess who volunteers my name as a cake decorator, should the need come up for showers, weddings, birthday parties, etc... yup...the Loving Husband.

I've decided to print up business cards, and keep them handy in case it should come up that someone is looking for a cake decorator. I suppose I will give Pat a handful, should he decide to volunteer me again in the future...

Either he really loves me, believes in me, and likes my cakes, and knows you will too... or it is a cruel joke. Maybe he just likes the cake remnants that get cut off the cake. I believe he really loves me :) He has even created a website just for the cake business that is currently coming soon... teamsowers.com/cakes
