Am I Nuts? Or Just Really Tired?
Business By cakequeen50 Updated 25 May 2009 , 8:45pm by cakequeen50
Well I took the leap 8 months ago and bought an existing, (appoinment only, no walk-ins) cake shop and combined it with the business I already had and OMG. it has just culminated into the biggest week in my imagination. This week I had 18 wedding cakes, 1 stadium, 1 3D stand up deer's head, 5 other miscellaneous groom's cakes, consultations, all the regular business emails, phone calls and such, and I am happy....so am I nuts or just really slap happy?
My husband quit his job and is my baker, web guy, delivery person, housekeeper. I have a full time newly graduated chef and a very part time best friend each of whom fills and ices. I am really the only one who can decorate everything. The young chef can do the pearls and beaded border cakes and simple designs.
It has been such a blessing but boy, it is truly my life now. every day, all day. I have grown kids, no family around, nothing but my shop and hubby, and my dogs.
Well , must get back to work, still have 1 cake to decorate, 1 to ice and decorate and a groom's cake to finish. I think I will be out like a light tonight!
Just needed to vent, talk, share, whatever. I guess I just needed contact with CC'ers. Haven't had any time for that is a long time.
Okay, you are nuts but in a good way! Congrats on the booming business 
Where are you located?
Congrats,you'll be fine when the money starts to roll in.
Well deserved I say....... Congrats and keep up the good work.
Wow--so cool!! Glad to hear everything's going so well!!!
Happy Cakin' to yah!!!
Congratulations, that is awesome. I hope to walk in your shoes when my kids get older....best of luck! You deserve it!
I'm jealous and hope to be where you are one day 
Congrats and enjoy!
thanks for your support! All the cakes went well, very happy with the results. We did the last 6 deliveries yesterday and I went home and crashed. Yes my body is tired, but my spirit is thriving. I am taking most of today off and coming back tomorrow to start on the 12 wedding cakes for next week!
Love it, love it.
Money rolling in??
Am I supposed to be getting a paycheck 
We are making a living and not losing our house so that is a good thing!
