Fame Again!!

You know the football shirt cakes I did for the 90 year old twins?

I got a phone call from the customer earlier today to say that there's a small article about them in the Jewish Chronicle and that my cake's in the picture!

This is the photo:

And this is the article:

Shame I didn't get a mention, LOL!!! But, coo, look at me... published twice in one week!!! :o)

Fame!!!

Well, OK, not quite.

But I'm so excited... like a kid at Christmas!!!

There's a magazine called "Wedding Cakes - A Design Source" and I sent in my wedding cake photos. And some of them have been used in the magazine! And I'm just so proud of myself. Nothing like this has happened to me before.

Lots and lots of people get their cake pictures in this magazine. I'm not unique. But I used to buy it and look longingly at the cakes, wishing I could produce things like that (I still do look through it, wishing I could produce some of the amazing cakes). And now, my cakes are actually in that very magazine!!!

I was working at the youth club today (making lunches for the children) so my mum went to buy the magazine for me (it was only published today!) I got three copies! LOL!! One to keep in pristine condition, one to show off with ;o) and one I've sent to my Auntie in Canada.

And the best thing is that I get my business name and website details listed in the magazine. It'll be wonderful if I get some business from it!

Week Of Twins!

I realised I had cakes for twins on Thursday and then cakes for twins on Sunday.

I got a lovely email with photos, from the family of the 90 year old twins:

"Many thanks for the cakes, they were much admired and enjoyed.

Jo & Philip"

and

"What can I say, the cake was absolutely amazing and what a lovely function.

Natalie"

Cookies & Cupcakes - Done!

I have a large roll of cellophane... like the stuff florists use to wrap bouquets.

I cut some of that and made a sort of wrapper/envelope/bag thingy for the 4 remaining cookies.

I could have sworn I had more bags, though. I did look last night.

I was right. I did have more bags. Found them this morning. After I'd finished wrapping the cookies, of course. Grrrr!!!

Anyway, I was up at just after 7am this morning to bake the cupcakes. Customer collected them at midday. I finished with about only 20 minutes to spare.

After lunch, I'm going to start the two football shirt cakes that are being collected in the morning.

B*gger!

And I was doing so well.

OK, so it took me a LOT longer to get the cookies done this evening. But that's not the problem.

The problem is I've run out of bloody bags. I'm 4 short. And I had everything timed perfectly. Sh*t!

I'll sort it out in the morning... either beg my mum to go to Romford to get some for me, or else I'll have to go myself. But only if I get the cupcakes done first.

*sigh*

A Bridge Too Far!

"A bridge too far!!" - That was what my cleaner said, when I told her that I finally got into bed at 2.30 this morning!!

It does look good, though! :o) It needed to be in the pastel colours that I've done it in. I originally did a brown, wooden looking bridge and it just wasn't right. So I looked on the ITNG website and the bridge is cream and blue. It looks much better.

I'm going ot photograph it very shortly!

Time For Bed??

The thing is, I know that, really, I need to leave it all to set solid before I can try to do any more to it. And it is 2am.

But I'm worried that if it all goes wrong when I assemble it in the morning, then I don't have time to re-do one.

It's a risk I'm going to have to take, though.

Good night.
