Satisfy my curiosity...how many weddings cake are we responsible for doing today? I thought it would be interesting to compare a "normal" Saturday against the upcoming wedding date of the year, July 7th.


Count one for me!!!

I had two wedding cakes, an order for slabs (300 servings) for the graduation ceremony at the local public school, and a birthday cake.

I delivered my two wedding cakes yesterday, came home to a glass of wine! My hubby is great! thumbs_up.gif

The weekend of 7/7/07 I will only have 2 weddings - I haven't taken on any other orders yet - piece of cake! icon_lol.gif LOL!

Nothing today (Sunday), but had 4 consults yesterday; a wedding this Tuesday.
July 7 is my son's birthday, and I turned away all requests for that day (3 so far).

Last weekend was the first weekend ALL YEAR that I didn't have a wedding cake, most weekends two or three ( including grooms cakes). 7-7-7 I have three weddings that weekend.

I had one wedding this weekend and have two for 7/7, but they're FAR apart. I'll have to manage my drive time!

I've turned away probably half a dozen others for 7/7...it's the most popular date this year!

I don't have any cakes that weekend as I will be out of town (My big weekends are always in May) Why is July 7th THE wedding weekend of the year?

One of my brides booked her location 2 YEARS AGO to get that date. icon_eek.gif
