That is great! I found nice big sticky letters at Michaels and I'm going to add to the back window.
CAKE TAXI
lol
I have the magnets on the sides of my car for now.
It looks wonderful!!!!! He did good work. Do you ever ask how if they were referred by someone or how they heard of you? Just wondering if you kept track of stuff like that.........it would be interesting.
Yes, I do ask them because (a) I give referral credit so if a friend referred them, I need to give the credit to the friend (b) I like to know which of my advertising is working. I actually have a space on my order form for "Referred By".
Dear indydebi, that is a very nice job (and price) on the lettering! Congrats! I have a question - is the back of your van customized for catering/cakes and if so, would you mind sharing which features you find the most useful. Thanks!
Not customized ... just a big empty cargo van. I would LOVE to have some kind of secure shelving system for some of the smaller boxes and containers of things, but I'll probably have to wait until I get big enough for a box truck.
That's really neat -- I like the door.
Whenever we are out on Saturday mornings, I love to point out the bakery delivery trucks ("Oh, a wedding!") to my ever-patient husband (who is still waiting for me to grow up, I guess 
). I think they bring a smile to everyone, and I know people write down the name/# if they know a bride (or love cake).
Congratulations! I am pricing lettering myself. That's great to hear it is already working for you. It looks great.
That's awesome!! I love your slogan too...very catchy & appealing I think I'm sure you'll get lots more business!
Congrats Debi!! ... many more busy days and fun times are just ahead... I can't wait to get to where you are...much continued success 
YEAHHHHHHHHH Indydebi! Live your dreams, girl!! It looks great! I hope that you are so successful that you need a fleet of vans!!

Nancy, when I own 3 vans I will consider myself "got it made!"
2nd how long have you been in business! Lu
Started decorating cakes 25 years ago. I was in biz back then for almost 10 years (got divorced ... had 2 kids who only had me to depend on ... priorities, ya know?). Did cakes and helped with events for friends and family (at the hobby level only) for awhile. Resurrected the biz in 2004 ... set everything up and didn't do my first booking until April 2005. We have been very blessed in how well it has grown for us in just a short time. I never take one day of it for granted. 
Hard to believe we've come this far in just 3 years.
Looks great!
I'm going to crank call you now that I have your number!

Your phone is ringing right now... you wanna answer it. 
Do you ship to Oregon... I'll pay you 20% over the cost with a money order too.
Only AFTER she ships to Mississippi... and I'll raise that offer to 40% over cost! HA
Congrats on your business... We're still transporting in the family car... I'm praying that God will see fit to provide a van for us. This Mississippi heat gets a little vicious in July, August & September...
Keep up the good work!
WAY TO GO INDYDEBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M GOING THROUGH A ROUGH TIME IN LIFE TOO, 2 KIDS, A HUSBAND WHO MAKES NO MONEY, I'M HOPING, WISHING, AND PRAYING THAT IT WORKS OUT FOR US TOO- MY BOYS AND ME THAT IS..........
