Decorating By lisascakes Updated 18 May 2006 , 11:37am by lisascakes
I am so busy this week - at least for me a wedding to feed 110 -(14,12,
,7 - 12x18 graduation cakes,1- 11x15 graduation cake, 1-10" rd b-day & 14 doz. tennis ball sugar cookies - I could quit my job and stay home and have the best job in the world - playing with cakes, cookies & frosting!
I started sunday baking & freezing my cakes, they are all baked now. I baked off my cookies sunday evening & decorated one the 11X15 to take to work monday. Monday I decorated my cookies & made almost 50lbs. of pwd sugar into BC frosting. Tuesday night I finished the cookies & finished baking off the cakes. Tonight I will decorte the round cake - DH has to take this one to his work & the cookies go out tonight. Thursday night I will crumb coat the wedding & smooth coat a few of the 12X18's - 1 one of those go out friday night. I will finish up the wedding friday night & get up Sat. morning & finish the graduation cakes that go out between 10 & 11 Sat. I will delver the wedding at noon & be done for the week! 
I will try to post pictures this weekend. This week is also after a slightly busy week last week. 8 doz. cookies & a 3 tier "package"cake on sat.
Thanks for reading! Happy DECORATING to ALL!!

=o)
Shoooo-weeee! I'm exhausted just reading all that you've done! LOL
Last weekend, I turned out one cake and 2 batches of truffles on Saturday and thought I had done good, until I read this post!
WAY TO GO!!!
Wow! Please don't tell me you work full time, have small kids at home, have dinner on the table every night, clean the house, pay the bills, etc on top of all this this week! I will feel like such an underachiever ! 
If you are getting all this done, you need to share your secrets!
WOW way to go, just one question, have you caught up with yourself yet
*drools* Wow, sounds like a great business week!!
Thanks for all the wondrful comments - I work 8:30 - 5:30 M-F - After I get off work I come home and do a simple dinner & then get started for the night. I do have 2 boys but they are older - 22 yo still lives @ home, 14 yo still @ home & DH. All 3 of the boys help with the house, I paid the bills saturday before buying stuff to get started on sunday. It's really nice to night to have some time on CC. I have to go fix dinner & do the 10" rd - it will have the baskerweave on it. The customer is going to put fresh flowers on it right before the party. The cookies went out shortly after I got home & I forgot to get a picture of them. They were pretty simple - round cookie with bright yellow frosting & white lines to make a tennis ball.
I found this site a few weeks ago & I LOVE IT! I feel so energized & ready to try so many new things! Thanks to all the wonderful bakers on here!
Wow........I wish I had cake orders like that. I only get cake orders every other month. I would love to be that busy with cakes weekly.
You seem like you have it all under control. How do you do it.
I just had a week like that too 3 12x18 slabs 1 11x 15 slab 1 8x8 4 doz decorated cookies and a 4 tier wedding cake all in 1 week and a consultation. This week its quiet but I have 2 consultations tomorrow. Getting at least 2 email inquires per day and phone calls setting up consultations for next week. Yes I quit my job to do this full time my last day is on Sun. whooo. I am booked through to Sept and now I'm double booking and more I have one weekend that I have 4 weddings.
Congratulations! Cakesondemand - that is sooooooooo cool to be able to do this full time! I'm very envious but so happy that someone is able to do what they love. Keep up the wonderful work - you give the rest of us hope! I hope to be like you some day!
