The first cake to share this weekend is this sort of "hybrid" Nascar cake! The mother of the groom wanted a "Phillies" themed Nascar, but including her son's favorite Nascar labels ("Miller Lite") as well. She pretty much gave me license to just "make it up" and being the non-sports fan that I am, I hope I did okay with that......
Next, a lady ordered this cat cake for her mom.... it was supposed to be a replica of her mom's cat. They report that it was immediately recognizable, so that's good!!!!! Although hopefully it was not too psychologically difficult to cut and serve! It was NOT red velvet cake, that's a good thing....
Lastly, I was invited to the Macy's "Shop for a Cause" event at the Oxford Valley Mall. There were many vendors scattered throughout the store to make things fun, including Godiva, a Bagpiper, some dancers, and others. So from about 11am-4pm I handed out free mini cupcakes and other handmade, chocolate-dipped treats, and told people about my business. I also had a drawing for a free dessert cake OR $100 off a cake order....and chose a winner as well!!!!
I went prepared with about 350 mini treats and when I packed up to leave a little before 4pm, I only had a handful of chocolate pretzels left! (Which my kids polished off quickly at home for me.) It was a long, but fun, day!
This week I have no cake orders but will be doing some prep work for the following week...PLUS don't forget to check Wednesday for more bakers' tips!!!!!!!
