I need some R&R!!

Man, I so need some R&R. I've got another big cake weekend coming up.

I'm about to hit the grocery store to do the shopping and picking up other materials. I'm really excited about the two big cakes of the week - they've got an awesome classic design to them!

Then I have my nephew's b-day and Father's Day - gifts and cakes to worry about! It's all good though.

But DUDE, some awesome news - Jose Fiestas Rental's shop is coming along nicely!!!! It's so great. They'll be located on 9th street in KCMO and it'll pretty much be your one-stop party shop. You'll be able to pick up your tables, chairs, moonwalks, tablecloths, food chafer and other rentals there as well as other party supplies. We're talking ballons, plastic tablecloths, candles - everything! And the awesome thing - I'll in their in-house baker! Yup! You'll get to pick up your custom cakes and cupcakes and even pick up some last minute pastries. Definitely a VERY exciting thing. I haven't gotten around to take photos of the place (combo of no time and camera still messing up), but as soon as I get some, I'll post them.

So yes, it's an exciting time - I'm loving it!

As always, hit me up for those cake orders - peace out!

A different spin on an old classic

Sheet cakes do not - I repeat - do not have to be your typically shell border with roses! They can be different, but still give you the ease a sheet cake has to offer.

I'll admit they aren't always my favorite - usually because they are harder to make creative! It's a good challenge to have though. Which I think is one of the reasons I really like this graduation cake. It's simple, but effective. I guess that can be said for any cake though. You don't need a huge eleborate design to make a cake look awesome (although if you WANT it - that's a different story :).

As always, it's been a joy. Hit me up for your cakes.

Oh, and I think I'm going to do a cupcake special for Father's Day. Something a little different for Dad.

Saturday was a great day!

Saturday started great! I hit the 9:30 Zumba class at St. Stephen’s. If you haven’t tried Zumba - you should! Check out www.casadefitness.com.

Cake deliveries were made yesterday. I’ve an order for tomorrow, so I’ll be working on that in a little bit. It’s a graduation cake, so that’ll be great.

I’m still trying to figure out my Father’s Day cake special, so be sure to watch out for that. It’s Sunday, June 21 this year so don’t let it sneak up on you.
