Celebrate good times, come on

It's over!! I have successfully made it through another job. The fact that I made it through a job of this caliber is quite a feat. I had some amazing help, without whom I wouldn't have come through this experience so sane. The food turned out great, the wedding cake was tremendous. The best experience for me was the wedding cake. Everyone loved it, it was so nice to get such amazing compliments. I will post pictures as soon as I get them from the photographer. Unfortunately I had not one spare moment to take pictures of anything myself. But I watched the photographer get many, many, many pictures of everything. I know she got some shots of the cake.

It was thrilling for me to make that cake. I was up till 4am one of the mornings working on getting one of the layers just so. This was my first wedding cake (heck, my first any sort of occasion cake) so I was quite nervous about my ability to pull it off. I absolutely LOVED working on that cake.. From baking the layers, to the filling, to assembling the layers and then frosting and assembling the cake. It has solidified my goal.. To open a bakery. I don't want to cater forever, but it's good for right now and it's fun and I love the experience and knowledge I gain from all the different jobs. But make no mistake, my heart belongs to my future bakery. Whether it takes 5 years or 10, I will open that bakery.

Now I have another job for the end of September. Same sort of buffet menu and I'll be inquiring on whether they want a birthday cake too. It's for good friends of ours, celebrating a 40th birthday. I love being a part of our friends lives like this. Rock on.

Gag me with a spoon

I thought it pertinent to mention that the wedding I am catering is taking place on 7/7/07 at 7pm.

Yikes.
