Hello Cakebakers
I'm just curious of how many cake or cookie orders everyone has for Thanksgiving?
I have 17 cakes and 10 dozen cookies and given the fact that I do work a full time job, I had to start baking today. I will continue baking tomorrow as well as Monday and Tuesday nights after work.
Does anyone else have it this bad or shall I say good? 
No cakes this year, but over 50 dz. cookies & I'm the only decorator at my bakery!
I am actually surprised I have none right now. Business has slowed a bit, but it uaually does right around this time. I know last year I did do a couple cakes for Thanksgiving. But I know how things change I could go to work on Monday and co-workers will need cakes. Oh well I will enjoy my quiet weekend! Because December is going to be busy with bdays and cookies
17 cakes, 10 doz cookies???? 
WOW...
How do you still work a full-time job? Doesn't this make you a full-time baker? I'm a SAHM and have trouble finding time to make 3 or 4 cakes a week when I have the orders...unless I stay up past midnight.
I have to hand it to you... Where on earth do you find the time??? 
I just have 5 orders for cheesecakes and some sweet potato tarts.
17 cakes? that is nuts!!
We are going away this turkey day, so I am glad to have the weekend off...I do have a several weddings over christmas week though and one on NYE!!!
Have fun baking! Are you going to freeze everything?
I did end of freezing some of my cake layers. It just got to a point that I knew I couldn't get it all done in one night. Freezing the layers then letting them thaw actually made the cakes moister. I had one customer tell me that her coconut cake just melted in her mouth.
Even though it is hard work, I love the end result and customer satisfaction!

I love to stay business. Don't get me wrong, I love some quiet days too but I can't sit still for too long. My family tells me that I need to slow down a little. I'm also an active member and treasurer in my sorority and my 4 year old daughter is in Pre-K who requires my time as well.
So I find the time but no me time. 
chutzpah -
I'm surprised you don't have some ex-pats over there who are looking for Thanksgiving treats.

I enjoyed my Thanksgiving day off .... my busy week is the week after.
Saturday: Wedding (catering) for 90 people and a 4 tier cake to go with it. Hubby is dropping off 2 sheet cakes (100 servings) for me later in the day. (I iced/decorated these cakes today, after getting my christmas shopping done during the Black Friday sales ... we were done shopping by 7:00 a.m.!!).
Then.....
A small non-wedding catering on Monday; a sampling appt on Tuesday; A dessert catering for Macy's on Wed; breakfast catering for the Post Office on Thursday plus a small drop off catering Thursday afternoon plus a sampling appt Thursday evening; 2 brides for sampling appts on Saturday; Home Depot Christmas party catering on Sunday.
So if I'm not on here much next week, y'all know why!
