Our first cake...

Rachel and I got a last minute order the other day from a woman who wanted 40 cupcakes, and a jungle themed cake to serve about 25. She informed the woman that we don't typically do cakes, we are more of a 'cupcake only' business. But the woman was desperate. We decided to try it out, and we loved it! Although we had to work on a lot of details for the cake and cupcakes, it was a lot of fun to do. I hand made 7 different animals from fondant (icing), had to dye it to make it the right colours...it actually took HOURS of preparation. Rachel was up at 6am this morning baking all of the cakes. But the result was worth it. We delivered our finished product this morning and the woman and birthday boy were thrilled!

Finally!

I have been working on our website forever! I've never done anything like this before, and I have no idea all the computer terms (ftp, html, blah blah blah...) they use, and I actually did this all by myself! Rachel and I put a deadline that we would have the website up and running by today...and we did it!

Business was pretty non existent for the past month, but for some reason, this week we got 3 orders! And one of them was a big one. Now with our new website, I hope our name will get out there and we can make millions (kidding), actually, millions would be nice!

Doggy bags

Last night Tim and I went out for dinner, just the two of us. We went to Montanas and I decided to have ribs, one of my favourite meals. I got the full rack (it was HUGE!) so Tim could have the leftovers for lunch today. I purposely ordered the big one so I wouldn't... okay I'm lying...so HE wouldn't have to make his lunch for today. We finish our dinner, the waitress brings the doggy bag, we pay our bill and we leave. We get almost all the way to our house and realize we forgot our take out. We ALWAYS forget our leftovers! Why does that happen? I remember looking at the bag thinking, I have to remember to grab that, but I didn't. I was actually a little bit angry for forgetting it. It was a huge box full of delicious ribs! What a waste!

Working as a waitress, I know that probably a good 90% of people forget their doggy bags. Why?!?!

Does this happen to you?
