Wedding Bonanza

Over a month ago I agreed to make the wedding cake for a friend's wedding in July. At the time I'm all, "Sure, I can make it. I'd be honored." Now I think, "Why the heck do I agree to do these sorts of things? Oh right, because I LOVE IT." Just a few weeks ago the caterer for the wedding ended up bidding DOUBLE the price they said it would be for the food for the wedding. Said friend approached me about catering the wedding. Again I found myself saying "Sure, I can do the food. I'd be honored." And I'm still left thinking the same thing as always. I was okay with doing the cake, I'd be okay with only doing the food.. But doing the cake AND the food? This time I think I'm in over my head. Luckily I love a challenge. Now I just need to be super organized and add in some hours to the day!

This is my biggest challenge yet. Not only attempting a 3-tiered square wedding cake (with chocolate ganache and raspberry filling) covered in white chocolate shavings, but catering a wedding (A WEDDING!) for 125 guests. I think that means I'm moving up in this catering business of mine. This is by far my biggest gig and the highest paying. It's definitely a good thing. Now I just need to execute it and please the bride and groom.

My wonderful husband has also been working on my new website. I have a whole new name now. Sweet Girl Catering. Named after my precious little sweet girl, Adelaide. Check out the site, www.sweetgirlcatering.com. I've also registered my fictitous business name, so I'm becoming more legit. The website is still being worked on, but it's got a front page with the info. It will blow up into something wonderful, so check back often. I'll even put pictures of the wedding cake and the food on there.

Take it easy my friends.
