A repeat


April was a relatively slow month for me, I only did 3 cakes. A year ago that would have been a lot. It is exciting to get to do something I love and get paid.

I have been doing cakes long enough that I am beginning to get repeat requests. Back in January I made what I refer to as a rose mummy design. It is a design I copied from Sarah-Jane a baker and decorator in Australia.

Anyhow, I gave the original cake to a friend on her birthday. Last week was her mother's birthday and she happened to be in town. So, my friend requested the design again. I felt a little strange charging one of my best friends for a cake, so I offered to do it at a 25% discount from my regular prices. She ended up paying me double. So now I need to take her to lunch.

Thanks everyone! I was really excited about how it turned out. I was surprised by how much better it looked than the last one when I compared the pictures too.
