Baking Day
April 7, 2011
What a beautiful sunny day. Just back inside from trying to clean up the yard a little. It is so nice to be outside working after baking earlier today.
Yesterday, the nicest thing happened. A wonderful customer dropped off a beautiful bouquet of beautiful roses and a thank you note. I redecorated a cake for her that got messed up when she put it in her vehicle. Oh, I just look at them and smile. The roses (and the thought behind them) have brought me great joy.
Pretty soon I will need to get supper ready. Tonight is choo choos. Hope you are all having a wonderful day.
Happy caking!

The old year will soon pass away and we will have a new beginning on January 1st. We have taken time off baking cakes and are putting away Christmas decorations. Things look awfully blah but Spring is just around the corner. The days are getting longer.

Last Day of October
October 31, 2010
Here it is - the last day of October 2010. Had a fun time decorating the 18th birthday cake today. Had Kev help me as the intricate details of the cake were taking longer than I had planned. Karissa had washed up the cake pans for me yesterday. Karissa is my granddaughter and she is 7. Brianna, 12, also my granddaughter, really helped me on Friday, even though she was sick. Poor thing. She played with Brandon until Aunt Michele picked him up for a playdate.
Hope you all had a great day. Next Sunday is time change!

Happy October 23rd.
October 23, 2010
Today is another beautiful Fall day. We (Becky and I) had gotten the wedding cake for today all covered in fondant yesterday. Today all we had to do was put the beautiful chocolate ribbon around and add some gold details to the cake. We delivered the cake to the US Hotel in Hollidaysburg. The bride's grandmother, great aunt and I believe great grandmother were putting all the beautiful decorations around the dining room. The grandmother also made the topper for on the cake.
This afternoon we are going to my aunt's 80th birthday celebration at the Olde Bedford Village. I am looking forward to seeing all my aunts and cousins. I wonder if they will have cake.
After that I will change clothes and go to the farm to take care of the chickens and turkeys. We have approximately 130 chickens and 8 turkeys. There is one chicken setting on 3 eggs. It would be so nice if they hatch but I don't think they will. We do have 6 or 7 roosters (one will soon be going into a pot if he keeps attacking!).
It has been such a good day. I hope you all are having a good...

Baking Day
October 20, 2010
Today is baking day. We will get the pans all greased and wax papered. Today is a good day to bake. It is a little chilly.
Made a fire in the fireplace. Had it cleaned a couple of weeks ago and didn't want to get it dirty. Fireplace Creations does an excellent job of cleaning it - it shines.

Catch-up Day
October 18, 2010
Today is the day to get caught up on all the things we need for this coming up week. Time to return phone calls and pick up supplies. Also time to spend with my grandson, Brandon, who was so sick last week. Now he is chipper, talking and running around at 90 miles per hour. So glad he is better. Hope you all have a good day.

Beautiful Fall Day
October 17, 2010
We have had the prettiest Fall days. Today is Church day and then to the farm to gather the eggs that are used in the cakes. My brother has many different kinds of chickens that lay brown, green and blue eggs. There are 1 or 2 that also lay white eggs. He has a hen that is sitting on 3 eggs up in the barn.
