is called to order.

Come on in.
Who's working late?

Today's cakes have been kicking my a$$ all day. I should have been done hours ago.

I'm here, however, I would use the word "working" VERY loosely! haha!! I have a poker cake to finish and I have just been very lazy about finishing this cake! I have to get my poker chips and cards done before bed, but I have gotten addicted to Farrah's story.

I have 2 - 3tier wedding cakes, 1 - 4tier wedding cakes, 3 groom's cakes and about 17 birthday/shower/graduation cakes. I am exhausted

I'm watching Say Yes to the Dress. (I have a TV in the kitchen.)

OMGosh!!! I am just boo hooing! this is so sad!!!

I am so done. I had a baby shower cake and went ahead and did a yellow jacket for a graduation cake.

Now I am sleepy and getting ready to go sack out..


Leahs what is wrong with the cake??? Why is it kicking your ass?


Janel.....did you ever live in Virginia? I know there is more than one person with your name but I use to know a girl many many years ago from Virginia with your name.

Great cake!! LOVE LOVE LOVE your yellow jacket - that is just PERFECT!

Nope, never lived in Virginia - I was born in Ohio and grew up around Atlanta, GA - basically I have always been in GA and FL.

Fondant ribbons kept tearing. On the cake now.

The cake for earlier today was covered with fondant ribbons.

I'm on a professional hiatus at the moment, but I'm doing a cake tonight for a friend's daughter. It's a carved cake in the shape of the number 13... got it covered in BC and chilling so I can smooth and fondant it... not looking forward to fondanting the 3, but I do what I can to make the kids happy... I just really wish it had been for her 11 year old sister

Good evening ladies! So glad to know I'm not the only one burning the midnight oil. I am seriously not going to sleep tonight. 2 tier Little Einsteins with a carved rocket on top and figures. The figures are killing me. They just don't look right. I'm sorry to say that I think they'll have to be 'good enough'. Haven't even started on the rest of it, got a bunch of naked cakes sitting in my kitchen.
Got another tie dye fondant job to do when (IF) I ever finish the Little $@###@@steins! But I have 'til 3 tomorrow on that one.

Just finished a cross communion cake. Had cupcakes picked up today and 2 more cakes for Sunday. So, it is not too much work this week. I will finish up the other 2 tomorrow.

Getting back to work on my first female torso cake. Really should have been almost done by now, but had to take a 2 hour break for Prison Break finale. I really need a tv in my kitchen! Also been googling places to rent me kitchen space all day not having much luck with it

hi again, this is my second nite on.. leahs, invited me back last week.. not doing a cake .. been working on loopy bow with pearl edge for a golden anniversary coming up in a few weeks.. and some plaques with the no. 50 on it, etc.. leahs , glad you got your ribbons right... patticakesnc.. your baby shower cake is very pretty.. and good job on your yellow jacket... tdybear1978.. i,m tired just knowing all you are doing..ha! good luck with it all.. and pinkZiab.. know your carved 13 will look great.. have a good nite, everyone.. probably will be back on in a little while..

no cakes tonight, hopefully - just waiting for a lemon meringue pie to be chilled through to see if a new recipe will actually SET for me...

if the filling works, then I have two lemon meringue pies to bake for a party tomorrow, along with a bunch of spinach and cheese phyllo pastries.

if it doesn't work, I'm gonna have to bake a cake...and damned if I know what it'll end up being!!!

the fact that my meringue is beading is just another problem...

Total for this weekend, 4 wedding cakes (1- 5 tier, 2 - 4 tier, 1- 3 tier) 1 baby shower cake, 2 anniversary tiers.

Next weekend, 7 weddings. 2 Friday, 2 Saturday, 2 Sunday, 1 Monday.

June is looking light, though.

WOW...you ladies are seem very busy. Not that much going on here...just trying to establish a new clientel. Much of my former business came from my old jobs. I'm pretty much still in hobby phase

One birthday cake due Monday and an order of lemon sugar cookies due on Weds.

leahs,
You make me tired & all I'm doing is reading this forum, nothing going on tonight.....just planning. Have a Good Night everybody.

I've got a lot to do this weekend -at least for me. I need to make cream cheese pieces for a 2 layer 12"x 18" cake ( okay--I was told this is a 1/2 sheet cake). They pieces will go ontop of and the side of the cake. I am making extra to serve on the side. I tried to do this once today but life happened .

I am making the cake and anywhere between 50-75 cupcakes tomorrow. I hope to have the cupcakes frosted by tomorrow night . And I want to have the cake crumb coated by tomorrow night I plan to decorate it really early on Sunday morning.

Yes-- I should have started some of these things a couple of days ago but our schedule has been really busy.

Oh well --off to work

Well, I wiped my tears and blew my nose from watching Farrah and busted behind to get my poker chips and cards cut out. They are now drying and I will finish the cake for the party tomorrow night.

Going to chill and relax for a few before heading to bed.

Leahs - seriously! How do you do all of that?!?!?!?!?!?! CRAZY!!!!

Sleep is overrated.

However, since I was up till 4 a.m. last night and it's after midnight now, I'm crashing. 'Night!

Carry on.

had this christening cake to do - pretty pleased with it but glad i dont get asked to to balls often - all that rolling at 11.30 at night - not good!!

Cathy--the Christening cake is beautiful. I agree with Leahs sleep is highly over rated. Leahs--I admire your work and your work ethic.

What a beautiful cake, Cathy24!! I also admire Leahs work ethic. She's right....get that cake done By all means necessary .
