Hey Everyone!
Phew...I haven't been on here in FOREVER. I've been a real slacker for sure. Between getting engaged to my other half and starting, and then leaving, a part time bakery job, I haven't had a chance to relax and blog.
I no longer work at the bakery which is quite a relief for me since it was just WAY too much working a full timer and then a part timer when they part timer involved me waking up at 3am. Talk about exhausted! I also had to give up my Saturdays. No thank you! I came to the conclusion that the only bakery I want to work in will be my own. So that is that.
As for what I'm doing now...I'm still workin' at the good ol' CallRevu executive assisting and office managing. I'm also planning my wedding for next October 11, 2014! Well...we haven't done any planning in a month or so since we are pretty much caught up with what we needed to do. Next up is looking at dresses! AHHH. But we have our venue (The Mansion at Valley Country Club), our photographer, our guest list, and our colors picked out. It's a great start considering we still have over 13 months!
Dom and I have also had a very busy summer. I'm looking forward to relaxing for most of the fall and spending less money. We have a few camping trips planned and little things here and there (and of course my birthday!) but other than that, I can't wait to relax on cool nights in a hoodie and sweats!
So where am I with baking you ask?
Well I haven't had a chance to really bake EVERY Sunday like I used to :( due to boating and other fun summer festivities. However, I did bake a double layer, red velvet cake for Kelly's surprise "30th" birthday party on August 3rd. It got raving reviews so that recipe is DEFINITELY a keeper! Who woulda thought that blazing hot, black coffee in a red velvet recipe would do the trick!?
What I have coming up: 16 dozen regular sized cupcakes for Kelly! Talk about the biggest order I've ever gotten! (So far...)
On the menu for this order are 4 dozen chocolate on chocolate, 4 dozen vanilla on vanilla, 4 dozen red velvet with cream cheese butter cream, and 4 dozen carrot cake with Rumchata butter cream. These are due on Sept. 28th.
THEN I have four dozen to make for my momma! 2 dozen chocolate and 2 dozen vanilla. These are due on the 27th. Basically, I am dedicating ALL DAY on the 26th to baking. It works out well because it's the day after my 25th birthday...PERFECTO!
I am excited for these upcoming orders especially since it's been so long! KEEP 'EM COMING PEOPLE! The fall is coming so that means pumpkin flavors!!! My fav!!!!
Important Update!!!! I now take credit cards!
ORDER AWAY EVERYONE!
Cheers :)
