Is called to order.

Who's up?

Whatcha workin' on?

I have a Damask pattern cake that's kicked my butt, but I've finally conquered it. I do a lot of Damask cakes, so I didn't give this one any extra thought. The cutters were making the pattern too tall for the side of the cake, but all is good now after a few adjustments. One more tier to go.

I'm also watching Master of Reception. There's a cake on there that is wacked - by our standards. The bride loved it. AND the pastry chef stacks the cakes and THEN ices the sides. I'd heard of it, and now briefly, saw it.

I'm up...cleaning, making list of low and out supplies. A friend called about 20 minutes ago to order a cake for a friend of her's for Sunday. I wanted more info...she's supposed to be calling me back "in a few minutes" (hmmmmmmm....I thought a few was 3....). No orders for this weekend so far. I'd been making bright colored gerberas earlier (I got tired of doing the fringe-y area at the center).

What about you? What do you have going?

Slow weekend. One party cake picked up this afternoon and this four tier wedding cake.

Have three weddings for next weekend, though.

Oh, and I'm throwing a bridal shower at our house Sunday night. I'l pull all that together tomorrow.

Can you tell, I type slow. No, I think slow...

I wanted to watch that!

A bridal shower sounds like fun...to host.

Let me be the nosey rosey...who's getting married?

Hi guys,

I'm up and at it too... Not too much going on in my cake world yet though - I've jsut started this. I hope it picks up soon though - right now I've just put out a few flyers here and there, and word of mouth is helping. Any tips on getting going?

I do have to do a golf cake in a week and a half though... think I'm gonna do a golf bag..

Hi!

I just finished two cakes, but think I need help on one. Both cakes are for the same graduate - one represents the high school, the other college. I love the college cake - purple and gold, with a film theme. The HS cake I think is missing something, but I don't know what else to add - the cake is for a boy, and I wasn't given any more info.

Any ideas on how to make the blue cake look better?

Thanks!

Hello all!
I'm making an aquarium cake and a western over the hill cake, both for tomorrow. On the aquarium, the bottom is about 4 in. of styrofoam (the hard green floral kind). There will be a double layer 9x13 sheet cake on top of that. It's for my cousin & he wants it 2 look like the one by goodsara here on CC. Do I just cover the styrofoamw/fondant? will icing stick to the styrofoam? HELP! I've never done a dummy (or partial dummy) cake before!

I'm totally clueless when it comes to the legallities of it all, but I planned on spending a good part of the day tomorrow sorting it out and looking into state laws here....

Anyway, thanks for the advice. Oh, and by the way.... you (leahs) and my daughter share a birthday!

Good night guys...I'm sure I'll be back tomorrow - I'm soooo addicted! My Hubby has dubbed me 'cake nerd'! LOL

I just finished a three tier chocolate fondant cake, the top tier is decorated with dark purple scroll work, the middle tiers with dark purple dots and the bottom tier with a dark purple fondant lace appliqué

Everything is brown an purple and the topper they drop off yesterday is this tall white thing that doesn't match the cake at all

I guess I will take pictures without the topper

It's 11:10pm now and I'm going to start decorating a two tier minnie mousse b/day cake.

Have fun ladies!

kearnie, there's a thread at the top of the Cake Business Forum with a chart on which states permit home kitchens to be licensed.

Leahs-
Thanks! It is a beautiful cake! I pray i can do it justice! I'll post a pic when i'm done ( prob. the middle of the nite or after lunch tomorrow)!

I'm trying to get up the gusto to finish a hockeystick cake (2 more pucks to fondant and that's it, but I can't seem to get up off my butt!), and then I'd LIKE to make the b.c. for a teddy bear cake with balls (now I KNOW that didn't sound right!!!), so that I can just do minimal decorations tomorrow, but it's looking more and more like I'm just going to be uber-busy tomorrow. UGH!!!!

Next week is a 24 mini ball pan catterpillar, grand piano, 2 x small hearts, and a 3 tier wedding cake. No biggie!!!!

Woo hoo! Vacation time for this gal! Feet up, coffee, laptop, "cabin" in the mountains...good luck on all of your cakes tonight girls!

I think there's enough design going on. I wouldn't add anything to it.

I'm done baking for tonight, I've gotta do my first topsy for my niece's 13th bday dinner for Sunday. I'm making a 10in square bottom & 8in round for the 2nd tier, I hope it turns out somewhat okay! & then I'm doing a small 5in cake for her baby bro who turned 2, he gets his own little cake, everyone else will eat sis's cake. I cannot find runts for the life of me! I need them for the border of his curious george cake. Any ideas on who may have them?

Usually Target has them. Or go to a movie theater.

I'm up, prolly will be most of the night. I am so behind this week but hey I am Queen of Procrastination Nation. Didn't help I had cramps all the first part of the week.

Anywhoo, got a shower cake iced, need to stack and decorate. Cookies to ice. Then a wedding cake that isn't torted or iced yet. Not a big one so hopefully it won't take too long. My first square fondant cake, I've only done square dummies before. I am a little nervous about that part.

Hoping to get to bed by 2, up at 8 to finish. Luckily the shower cake won't take long to decorate. I am praying for energy, tummies upset can't rely on caffeine tonight!

I'm up! I'm working on a heart shaped tuxedo cake and have no idea what I'm doing LOL! (I posted another post about that!)

That's all I've got for this weekend! So far it's just iced - I'm stuck on what to do next.

I wanted to see Masters of Reception, I forgot about it! AND they showed cake!!!

Ok, now I see why so many people ask about having icing on the top of the cake & wanting seperated tiers - I had never heard about stacking and then icing

I'm sure the show will come on a million more times in repeats...gotta catch it soon

mom2, I think there are instructions for that heart tuxedo on the Wilton website. Used to be there at least.

I just checked in on my FNCC to see how and what everyone is doing! I delivered my wedding cake earlier tonight for a Friday night wedding - so now I have 1 Spongebob 1st b'day for tomorrow and 4 half sheeties for Sunday!!! But I bought the impression mats from Country Kitchens - those that have either flowers, paisley, brick, stones, dots or circles -- and I am going to do the 4 sheeties for Sunday with those - just to practice and see how they turn out. I hope they are fun and uber-easy!!LOL!!

Good night ladies -- I'm going to bed before midnight for the first time in way too many Friday nights!!

Suze

Oh thank you leahs! I didn't even think of looking there, and yes...it's there! Interesting way of doing it - it's not like either thought I had!

Lenette...I thought I was the Queen of Procrastination Nation LOL!!!

Long live the queens!!!
