I have one next Saturday. I just finished a Christening gown and working on a 3D wiggles car.
I wish I had a wedding cake to do. I am just dying to make one. I did make a birthday cake tonight. I just got in some cake dummies and I am going to make several wedding cakes just so I can take some pictures and put them on my web site to see if I can get some wedding cake orders.
moydear,
is there any special reason you are staying away from wedding cakes?? I am just getting started and looking into a place to rent and was wondering if you know something I don't!!!! Besides dealing with the occasional Bridezilla!!
i think this weekend is the only weekend this summer i don't have some cake to do, i have 5 wedding cakes (1 was last weekend) to do between now and the time the baby gets here in September
NO WEDDINGS IN SIGHT!! THANK GOD!! In fact didn't have ANY cakes until a church friend called tonight and asked me to do his anniversary cake this week. It's a surprise for his wife.

I don't know about you moydear, but, I'm gettin' TOO OLD to deal with the brides, their mothers, sisters and the whole event in general! LOL
I just finished up my last cake this evening....did 12 sheet cakes total. No weddings this weekend. I have 2 next weekend, 3 the following weekend for the first part of May....then 2 the following weekend. Have a week off to go to my daughter's graduation from college....then my other daughter's wedding cake to do on the 26th of May. I don't even want to think about JUNE!!! YIKES!
I had 1 four teir with a small grooms cake that looked like a can of Walgreen nuts.
Tomorrow I have 2 wedding cakes and 3 specialty cakes
One of the last few slow weekends I'm gunna have before it gets crazy.
Well it is just what I prefer. I can work on a cake for days and just come back to it. Most of the work is done in advance. Less stress!
Most of the three tiered cakes I do run about $135.00 and up!
I have one to do next Thursday (Wedding Saturday 28th) my first wedding ever! Actually I'm a lot less stressed than I usually am with kids cakes...I think there is a ton less work in some wedding cakes. Or maybe I'm naive because I've never done one!?!?? Anyway the one I am making is only one layer, choc mud with two hearts - pink and red - on top. She pretty much left everything up to me so I'm very excited!
How do you guys do that many cakes in one weekend? Please tell me your secret.
Prep prep prep and no sleep!
Well I work in a full bakery so someone else bakes and other people fill em for me. Then I take over by icing them, fondanting them and all other decorations. I gets pretty hard when you do it by yourself and you have like 7 of em all on one day. Its nuts....totally nuts at times.
This was a pretty busy week for us. We had 6 due today, 4 due yesterday and 2 due on Thursday. I'm glad it's over... now to prepare for cake tasting appointments tomorrow.
