The blog was up for one day and what amazing support I received. I keep saying to myself this really could happen. The two cakes I brought in for the "Grand Opening" of Cakes for a Mustang were sold by noon. One of my closest co-workers purchased the cake and shared it with her team. They all huddled together Ooohing and Ahhhhing like it was a new baby with its mother. "It's so cute!" Typically, those words coupled with that ever-so-sweet tone are not coveted by us male variety. Nonetheless, I think I received the compliments well. The other was purchased for a husband's birthday occurring tomorrow.
Within three hours of the blog being up, the site received over 100 page views. Wow! Thank you! I know I shared it with about a dozen people and a few more, but the credit is due to those who believe in the "cause" and shared it with their closest of friends and co-workers. For that I don't know how to share my appreciation.
Many have inquired if I'll make cupcakes and if I can do weddings. The answer is probably yes to cupcakes; wedding cakes, well, let's just say not the big ones. I'm not that good...yet. However, someone mentioned to me if I could make many mini-cakes, similar to the carrot cake size, that could be made for each individual table. Huh. Sure, I could do that. Others have also asked if I will be making any other flavors. Definitely. I plan to keep it simple for you. Double-layer cakes (carrot, chocolate, etc.) will be $10. Specialty cakes and other sizes are subject to the specific cake, like my Oreo Ice Cream cake. Now that's a big cake. It can feed twenty people easy.
For now, I am focused on the 4 pre-orders for this Thursday and also bringing in 4 more on "Cake Day" (a.k.a. "Cake Fridays").
Thank you so much for your support! Feel free to comment on this page with any suggestions or questions.
