Alright Decorators!!! Are you all ready???!!!!! I can't wait to see photos on Monday when we are all rested up from the week and weekend!!!!!

Heck, it's gonna take me a week to rest up! I had three this past weekend and I have 3 on the 7th! Thank goodness I have nothing on the 14th!

What a week it will be!!!! I have 4 on Saturday (one delivered Friday night - the other 3 spread out Saturday!) I have been planning my exact moves for 2 months. I feel like I am on one of those food network challenges with a minute by minute of what I need to be doing for the next 5 days!!!!

I just realized that, lol, I only have one cake, but that is pretty much what i can handle right now. good luck everyone.

I'll relax for all of you. I have NONE this week. My Daughters BD is the 4th and so I never take orders this time of year. I'll count it as one of my many blessings!!!!

Boy, Im feeling out of place here, I only have 1 wedding cake for saturday. But I am just starting out. Ill probably be more rested up than all of you.LOL. I cant wait till I have all these orders.How long were you all decorating before you started seeing more activity?

I have just fainted...did you hear me hit the floor???

I have 5 three-tiered wedding cakes for Saturday and 1 3-tier BD cake for Saturday with an expectation of me being at the party and 4 dozen cookies. Oh, and a 2-tier groom's cake AND a sculpted cake like an amp.

Who kept taking those orders???? Man, I knew that I had a problem with saying "no" but ...WOW!!!!

No cakes for ME this week! I have an Aerielle and Belle cake later in the month. I typically don't do a lot of cakes in the summer. I like to be free to travel, etc.

Foots2-- by the looks of your cake photos--it won't be long. I live too far away, or I'd be ordering myself!

Bethola = you should travel to TX and help out Mac this week!!!

I'm with Mac ... 5 wedding cakes for Saturday, plus some other occasion cakes for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!!! I will be happy when this weekend is over!!!! Good luck to everyone!!

Good luck to you all! I am also just starting and wouldn't even think of doing any wedding cakes, too scared and am just an amateur. Just started taking classes lin th fall. of 06. I'm hooked now, just hope I get better at it!

OMG! 5 cakes = others - you guys are craaaaaazzeeeeeeeeee!!! I hope everything works out well for you, I just have a cupcake cake for Sunday, but I've been flat out for 2 months, so I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend. I also just got myself a spot in a shop which is opening on Saturday, so I'm making some flapjacks & Millionaire's shortbread for that - I am psyched!!!

I have only one wedding cake this Saturday. It's 8 - 8 in cakes for centerpieces for the tables.

I have only 1 wedding cake this weekend, but it's only my fourth wedding cake...so I'm getting my feet wet! I don't know if I'll ever be able to do more than one! How you ya'll do it!

I can't imagine trying to do two wedding cakes in a weekend let alone five! Well, maybe it one of them was the plain white fonadant w/ a ribbon at the bottom lol. Probably would be easier if I didn't have a FT job though lol.

I actually only started doing wedding cakes last fall. I have done 2 on a weekend before, but never this many. Oh well - I hope you all have a wonderful week!!!

A friend of mine actually has 9 wedding cakes for this weekend (there are also numerous birthday cakes). She doesn't freeze anything either. I hope she still has some sanity left after this weekend is over.

NINE? I can't even fathom how you sould do nine cakes w/o freezing. I'd have to be heavily medicated I think, w/ no sleep and only stopping for a quick potty break now and then lol.

9??? I don't even know where I would put 9 cakes????!!!!!!

I don't think she has sleep on her agenda for Thursday or Friday. I might be going in to help her as since she opened her Cakery she hasn't been taking time for things like sleep LOL!! She has quickly discovered that there is demand for custom cakes in our city and she is the only supplier. The grocery stores are actually sending people to her because they would rather not be bothered with tiered cakes.

cake-angel ---- sounds like a partnership opportunity to me???!!!

If only I had the time. My husband travels a lot and we made a deal that one of us would stay home with the kids (it is me!). He would have if I made more money. I like being a Mom but sometimes I wish I could be around adults more LOL!! When the kids start school I will probably start working part time (like 9:30 to 3 pm type of hours). i actually toyed with the idea of working in her shop for a couple days a week for the summer but with being my sister's wedding planner, cake decorator and in the wedding party (6 weeks from now), I have my plate full. Plus I still have to sew my dress and the outfits of my daughter and son to be ring bearer and flower girl. Maybe in a couple of years if my friend finds a way not to wear herself out!!

I have one three tiered cake and a couple of sheet cakes. (=200 servings) I almost cried in the baking aisle at walmart today thinking about all those cakes.. I had another small cake but she called today and had to cancel. I did the super happy dance.

I have 8 wedding cakes for this Saturday (5 three-tiered and 3 two-tiered) . Good luck to me .hihihi

Good Luck everyone!!! Make sure you buy yourselves something nice with all the $$$ you'll make from SOOOO many cakes. I can't imagine 5 cakes, let alone 8 or 9!!!!!
