My Busiest Week

This past week was the busiest Christine's Custom Cakes has ever had!  There were SEVEN cakes total and an additional one was made with the extra for my family!  My father calls me nearly every day during the week and leaves a message, "Hi there Christine from Christine's Custom Cakes.  I would like ONE cupcake, that is all.  Thank you and Goodbye!"  So, I decided since I had a leftover 6" cake, to send it home to my family when I saw them Sunday!

Of course, as any other business person would know, there were there fair share of mishaps throughout the week!  Broken mixer, bought a new one, broken mixer again, took it back, broken mixer again!!!!  I couldn't believe it!  So, I think it is time I start putting money aside to get the counter top mixer vs the hand version.  It seems that they can't handle the thickness of the icing before you add the milk at the end of the recipe!  Then, of course as I am icing a cake, it sleeps from the counter and ended up on the floor...time to bake a new one!  BUT, all of the cakes came out great!

I am definitely ready for summer when I can accept more orders and hopefully the word continues to spread!  I am enjoying how well the business is going and I cannot wait to see where Christine's Custom Cakes is next year!

Here are a few of the cakes from the weekend:

Well Overdue Update

Hello Folks!

I apologize for the lack of posts!  It seems there are numerous people on the Facebook which has kept me extremely busy....as well as pumping out those cakes!  There are new items added to the menu, including treats for your dogs!

Business has certainly grown since we opened in October 2011 and we have confidence it will continue!  Bookings on average are coming in 1-2 months in advance and then there are the short notice bookings as well which fill up the calendar!  I certainly never thought we would be making 2-6 cakes a week, but we are!  It is fascinating and I love every bit of it!  There have been a few return customers and those who have stated they will return!

You can look at Christine's Custom Cakes menu on the Facebook page by following this link, if you do not have Facebook, I will be updating the price sheet/menu on here very soon!  Christine's Custom Cakes Menu/Price Sheet

Here are a FEW of the numerous items I have done in the past few months!  :-) I hope you enjoy seeing them!
