Cake-designing Blahs!!

So I'm happy to say that I've totally been enjoying my summer!! No school or school lunches to make, no pesky teenagers, no annoying co-workers, and actually no cakes to make!! However, things are about to change as I have a cake order for tomorrow - a custom 50th for a man who LOVES Bruce Springsteen & Jackson Browne, motorcyles & guitars! Easy right? Well if any of you have a super idea for a design, please message me because I am stumped. I thought I had it figured out - I'll do a 3D electric guitar coming up out of the cake with record albums all around it to feature Bruce & Jackson. Trouble is that when I researched their album covers, I need to be a master sketch artist (which I am NOT) because every cover has their faces on them!! I can do animated characters but portraits are tough!!

I also have 2 cake requests for next week - one is a Hello Kitty cake which I am super thrilled to make!! But the other is for a friend's baby shower that is being hosted by her in-laws and I'm told it should be a "summer" theme. That's it. That's all. Ummmm....I got nothin! Well not yet, but I WILL. Kelly wants a "WOW" cake and she'll get her summery WOW cake. I hope!

I am appreciative of the first rainy day we've had since the 3rd week of June so I can get baking and creating today without feeling like I'm missing out! Thanks for allowing me to vent and stress with you. Seriously - any and all ideas are welcome!!

Cheers,
Cynthia

Ahhhh 2 weeks off!

Summer is officially here! The sun is shining and HOT! The kids have been having FUN! And I have had 2 weeks off of baking cakes! : D  I am just now starting to miss it a bit so I was happy to get a call for a custom Dora birthday cake for a 2 year old girl next week! Yay! Of course July birthdays in my house are numerous (mine was Monday and NO I did not make myself a cake, nor did anyone else), my son turns 7 next week and my baby girl turns 4 the week following. So there will be cakes to design and create soon enough. For now, I will enjoy the next couple of cake-free, sun-filled days!!

Yay Summer Time!!

You poor blog followers! Have I lost you?

I'm so very sorry that I haven't had any recent activity here on the cake blog! The end of the school year is always a busy time but add to that the fact that I was putting out 4 cakes/week and I hope you can understand my absence!

However, I will get at the adding picture thing here in a bit and tell you this - I LOVE SUMMER!! As of July 3rd, I am officially done with my busy cake-making and plan on enjoying every ounce of summer sun & fun with my kids & husband!! My kids have reminded me that the next cake I have to make will be for my own birthday next Monday to which I say - NO WAY!! I look forward to making my son's 7th birthday cake which I think we have finally agreed upon. It will be the purple van from Scooby Doo complete with Scooby & Shaggy!! Then a week after that I have my baby's 4th birthday and I'm not sure what she wants. When she saw the giant burger cake I did for my staff party, she said "oooh Momma, can you make that for my birthday?" which is very funny but you betcha I can!!

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather and if you need a cake, I have some time so please message me or call!!

Thanks for checking in!
Cheers!
