Fundraiser update!

Im so happy with the way the fundraiser has turned out!

As of today I have collected $193.20!!!

I sold out of the cupcakes in less than four hours today and still have one more day to go!

I have two orders placed for tomorrow for 3 dozen cupcakes along with the rest that will be placed out!

It is a wonderful thing to see how many wanted to donate to a good cause! I am truly greatful to my co-workers at my day job for all their support and to the business who ordered platters for their companies!

Here are a few pictures of the cupcakes!

Cupcake Fundraiser - Educator Appreciation Week

Day one of the fundraiser has gone better than I ever expected!

I brought 52 cupcakes and mini-bites in and have 17 left with an hour and a half to go in the work day!

I have several orders to fill for tomorrow to sell more and Its looking like I will meet the goal of $200.00 and maybe more!

I cant wait to surprise the teachers and staff with the gift cards and cake and see the looks on their faces!

Two more days of raising money for our teachers, thanks to everyone who's supported this event!

Educators Appreciation Week!

This Friday is the start of Educators Appreciation Week March 19th - 27th.

So in Honor of the many educators who teach our kids, dedicated themselves to higher learning and survive through the many budget cuts and layoffs, I am going to bake special cakes for the teachers at my kids school. If possible I will try to raise money to donate to these teachers to enable them to supply their classrooms which will allow them to have the resources needed to teach our kids!

If you would like to donate a cake or monetary funds to these teachers I will be setting up a pay-pal account and post more information on by blog and Facebook Fan page with more information soon!

Back at work!

After a two week break from Cakes, I'm back in the kitchen!

Just finished a Thank You cake for the Fire Department across the street ordered by a co-worker and I'm working on a seemingly very difficult Transformer Bumblebee cake tonight.

Difficult because I honestly didn't know how to go about all of the many details but after sketching it out last night, I'm feeling good about how the end result will be!

Stay tuned for pictures!

Business Cards are IN!

I received my business cards in the mail yesterday and I'm quite happy with how they look!

Finally, I can pass out some cards and generate more business! For those not in my immediate area, here is a preview of what I designed :)

the saying on the back at the top is in french and the translation reads;

Made with love

and

butter/flour/eggs/sugar

the saying at the bottom reads:

Delight is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone

believes he has the biggest piece.
