Upcoming events

I am so excited! I have another wedding coming up for the first week in November so I have another opportunity to share in a wonderful occasion. The holidays are approaching so that also gives me more opportunities to make good cakes for other people to share with their friends and family. I have had a few requests already so it looks like this holiday season is going to be busy! I do have one update for the completion of a cake concept, I did finish the PB&J cake but I am going to adjust the way I do the icing. I did not like the jelly icing so I am going to try the cake again and just drizzle the jelly over the top; this is really a cake for kids so "neat" icing is really not necessary. Once I have that down I will post pictures of the finished cake!

I love baking

I was able to make some cookies yesterday and take some of them to work for my team and fellow managers. They loved the sweet treats and as always this brought a smile to my face; I think I smile a lot so maybe I should say I just had a bigger smile on my face. I noticed today that a really do spend a lot of time thinking about what new cake ideas I can come up with and how many every day things inspire me to create something new. I am still working on the P B & J cake but I think I am close to perfecting it! I have added a website for Tasty Goodness Cakes which is an extension of the business to those who want to request cakes for events, holidays or for no reason at all. The more cakes I make the more I love baking so hopefully people will start asking for more!!

Who bakes for the baker?

It's my birthday and as usual I am loving it! When this day comes around I find myself in a bit of a dilemma when it comes to getting a cake for myself. Most people do not want to make a cake for me because they feel I would critique it or that it may not be good enough so I do not end up with much birthday cake. I love cake (which is probably why I need to spend more time at the gym) but I just do not get to eat much homemade cake from someone else's kitchen except my mom's, she knows she is an awesome cook/baker so my opinion doesn't really matter. What kid is going to critique her mom's food anyway? Whether I get any birthday cake or not this year I am so excited to be 32 (that's right 32 and I make that number look good) for many reasons but one of the main reasons is that I am in a place to pursue my dream of baking for a living. It is slow going right now but I know Tasty Goodness Cakes will continue to grow, I am blessed so this business has no choice but to succeed! The other two reasons are in this pic, the loves of my life inspire me and make me appreciate every year I have been blessed with. I will let everyone know if someone makes a cake for me!
