Ok, guys.....I feel like such an idiot. I have had a busy weekend 5 cakes in total, 3 are weddings and the rest b-days. I dropped off two of the wedding cakes today and then I had planned to go home and get a nap, then do another wedding cake for tomorrow morning thats due at 11 a.m. So, I wake up 6 hours later at 11 pm!!!!! I havent gotten anything started for the cake. I mean its baked, but thats it! At least I got alot of sleep so I don't feel tired right now!!! Its a pretty simple cake so I shouldn't be at it for much longer. Just thought I would share my oops moment!!!
Whew! I thought I was going to read that you really gave this excuse to someone. I was getting ready to pop some popcorn and hit refresh!
I was thinking the same thing.
I'm sure you do a great job on all cake and more power to you. But in my opinion this is one of the reasons why I would never go into business making cakes. It is a lot of work. No matter how tired you are, you are obligated to make them. Your cakes are fabulous 
I just got done making the cake. I have like so much energy from my power nap...LOL I think I'll do this more often. Sleep during the day for a few hours and then get everything done at night! It seems like everything went so much smoother.
I do a lot of mine at night no distractions. I'm a true believer of the power nap (45 min) sure will refresh the mind. Seams like more than 45 min leaves you groggy and needing more.
Whew! I thought I was going to read that you really gave this excuse to someone. I was getting ready to pop some popcorn and hit refresh!
LMAO, same here.
I hate when a little snooze turns into a long sleepfest. I accidentally took a LONG nap yesterday - 5:30 to 11:30 pm - and the long ones always make me feel all out of sorts and cotton-headed. Yuck
Hope you are still up and at 'em!
I just figured I would post a pic of the finished cake. TFL!
its beautiful... how did you do that cake board.... love that too
Gorgeous cake!
Once I fell asleep with a cheesecake in the oven. The alarm--SMOKE alarm, not alarm clock--woke me up. Burnt cheesecake anyone? Thank God the alarm went off!
Lesson: Make sure to put new batteries in your smoke alarms every six months, when you change the clocks for daylight savings time! That's coming up pretty soon.
There is a cool way you can make that so it is washable and re-usable. Make a foot long length of fabric that is 2-3 times longer then the circumference of your base.
Sew the ends together and then sew thick seams along the length leaving a small opening.
Take elastic and thread through the seam and make sure when you stretch it out it can fit around your base and tie in a double knot and let it all disappear into the seam.
Do the same for the other seam. It should look like a giant over grown scrunchy.
Now it is completely adjustable and you can wash it and re-use it and put it on a few sizes of bases.
Just stretch it over the edge and adjust the fabric folds and Viola!
To make that base, i buy the 15 inch wooden round from lowes, then I get batting and fabric and cut it into a biq square. I set the board over it and then bring the fabric and batting and staple it four times to the board. One on each side(even tought it is a circle and its doesnt have any sides, I just do it in the centers) then i pleat the fabric and staple one at a time, until it is completely pleated all the way around the board.I hope I havent confused you. I think I have confused myself. LOL
