Where? I can't see a typo? (unless he's fixed it already)

I didn't see that typo either, but in the paragraph above your wife's, there's a small one.

"and at that moment he knew the game as over."

I love your site - I love your sense of humor. I'm scared for you over the copywritten characters, but other than that, I think it's amazing!

Ok I have a major update to the site. I addressed many of the comments in one way or another.

I kept the Copyrighted characters for now. I will replace them equal quality and difficulty cakes as they are completed.

I rearranged the content to address the heavy bio's and such.
There were a lot of code changes to make it faster and rank better on Google. I will say this Key word saturation is very important for search engines but very difficult to get into the copy without sounding redundant.

I hope you guys like the changes. As always I am very open to the feedback and think the site is much better due to you help.
Thank you

icon_smile.gif I like it alot better! Other than running a spellcheck (I spotted at least 3 just skimming the text) I think it's a rad site.

I always send my links to my mother, who must have been an english teacher in a past life because she catches every typo, dangling participle and incorrectly used *whatever* that slips right by me, lol.

HUGE improvement!
A few typos still - aside from "lesions" (okay, that one was pretty funny), under FAQs - your first response says "base per serving" - should be "based". Next response has "wouldn't't". And the last response says "I would want to be stuck in a musty box". While that may be true, I don't think that helps business.....
As a potential client, I like to have a clearer understanding of your pricing structure - what is your "basic" per serving price? But maybe you can let that go - what does everyone else think? Again - great job improving the site.

Your website looks good but here are a couple of typos I found under the FAQ section:

Question 1 it says based per severing

On the fondant question you said people choose to peal it off--should be peel.

Good luck!!

I fixed the spelling you all noted and what else I could find. I have an English teacher in my family. I will have them go over it with a fine eye.

When spelling and writing in general, my brain is auto complete and more often it's wrong. I just don't see it most the time. I have dealt with it all my life and do not take offense to anyone calling me out.

The thing about a Web site is that it is never done. I will continue to work on the weak spots it still has.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but there's a typo here:

A: Absolutely and I wouldn'tât have it any other way.

I really like your site, but I'm not sure if a website for cake should contain the word "womb". I don't know why, it just kinda freaks me out.

I also agree you should up your minimum.
