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:
