I did a football shirt cake for a friend's little boy whose party was on Sunday. They loved it. In fact, they refused to cut it on Sunday! I told them yesterday that they had to cut it!!! If they'd wanted to just look at it, I'd have made it out of polystyrene! Besides, if they didn't eat it soon, it would be stale.
Yesterday I went to the cake supply shop to get a few things and to meet a lovely lady called Beckie. Beckie is a cake maker and also makes the most delicious cupcakes that she sells at a couple of markets. As I have a cupcake order this weekend, I asked if she'd sell me some boxes... she brought me 3 boxes and wouldn't take any money for them. So thank you again.
There was no school today; I drove the boys to my MIL, went shopping for eggs (and bought a couple of other things whilst I was there), came home, baked a 7" square (one of the two cakes for order for Thursday), had some lunch, covered the 14" x 24" cake board, made the bridge for the cake (and I'm keeping everything crossed that it will set by tomorrow) put another cake in the oven, went to collect the boys, came home, took the cake out of the oven, made dinner. No wonder I'm too tired to make the figures for the cakes!
So, tomorrow I've got to completely decorate the cakes and make the figures. I should be able to do that OK.
Thursday night I'm going to make the cookie dough for Saturdays' cookies & cupcakes order.
Friday I'll bake, decorate and bag the cookies, and I'll also bake the two football shirt cakes that I've got on order for Sunday.
Saturday morning I'm getting up EARLY to bake the cupcakes... I want them to be as fresh as possible (they're being picked up at around midday!)
Saturday afternoon and evening I'll decorate the football shirt cakes for Sunday morning.
Phew!
That's the plan.
