Cookies!

Has it really been over a month since I last posted? Ooops!

What have I been up to?

Cookies!!!!

I've had an order for 1020 cookies.

Fortunately, they weren't decorated and they weren't all at the same time, either. It's for a party organiser who is doing some corporate Christmas parties (for children). One of the activities is cookie decorating. So I provide the cookies and everything else that's needed to decorate them.

I'm just preparing my last batch. The thing that takes the longest is rolling the dough and cutting out the shapes. So I've been doing that and then open freezing them. Once they're frozen, I put them into freezer bags. They cook beautifully from frozen. So that saves a lot of time.

My last lot is being baked on Sunday, ready for collection on Monday morning. I've got 345 to do.

I've also got a cake for 29th December. Had it not been for the ruby wedding anniversary of a family friend, I wouldn't have done it.

Then a cake for 3rd January. I've had an enquiry for another cake for 3rd January - just waiting to hear back on that. Then 60 cupcakes for 11th January (same customer that's order for the 3rd Jan.)

So already a few things on order for the beginning of the year. I had an enquiry for 30th December, but I turned it down. I need some "me time". We're not doing anything New Year's Eve, so I guess I'll have a couple of days to myself then.

If I don't update before-hand, I'd like to wish you a Happy Chanukah / Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.

"See" you in 2009
