Congrats Pam, Now to get you in the Longview paper!!

Im so happy for you its nice to hear a good story instead of another crabby customer story. maybe you wont need a day job soon after all the orders youll be getting from this artical.

Congrats!! this is great!!

Congratulations! It's great to read about fellow CC'ers who have 'made good'! Great article, and I love your website!!!
Hope you have much success!!!!

GREAT! CONGRATS!

Thanks everybody. I thought the news lady wrote it really well. The only 2 mistakes were that she said the largest cake I made was 64 layers...should have been the most layers made in one week. She also said that I made 5-8 birthday cakes a month...should have said 5-8 a week.

frstech--I was in Longview's paper on April 1st for "Faux Food"...I made Rice Krispie sushi and Meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting. Wasn't really focused on cakes but April Fool's tricks.

Channel 7 news did a piece on us for Baking Gals--baking for soldiers.

Not sure if Longview could top Tyler's article and pics.

What a nice article......I sure was thinking that 64 layers was a HUGE cake!! Congratulations!

(I made my MIL come and read it too, she LOVES the cowboy hat & boot cake - she managed a steak house here for 40 years!)

Mac... Don't read the paper much so I missed that article... and sorry to say that Longview News ussually screws things up!!  Please tell me more about the Baking Gals group.

Congrats! Gorgeous cakes!

Fantastic! But I'm disappointed to know the cake wasn't 64 layers. can you imagine the ladder that would have been needed? Or maybe just reeeeeeeeallly skinny layers. I think you should try it.

I'm not skinny so I refuse to do anything skinny....HA!!!

Congrats!! You should be very proud of yourself!!

CONGRATS!!! Best wishes for continued success!!

BTW...love the cowboy boot cake in the article

Woo hoo! Go Mac! I missed the News Journal article too!

Well deserved, congratulations!
