What is a CAKE?

Just Because

The word “cake” is used to describe anything from one or more layers, that are filled, unfilled, frosted, adorned or plain to pancakes. They are special and are often associated with life’s milestones i.e.birthdays, weddings, showers, engagements, or they can be enjoyed simply as a dessert or snack.

Technically, today’s cakes are a sweet  foodstuff prepared by baking a  flour-based dough or batter. The term cake also may refer to any round, flat disk of food, such as a pancake. They lend themselves to limitless variations depending on the flavorings added to the basic ingredients, the shapes of the pans used in baking, and fillings, icings and decorations used. 

Webster says: Cake: a sweet food made from a baked mixture of flour, eggs, sugar and fat.  But, to me a cake is a beautiful sweet celebration of life.

Looking for a venue?

Here are 3 ideas on choosing venue Ideas

Wedding Venue Comparison Chart1. Create a comparison chart to track what’s included in the price for each venue you’re considering. One company may not include linens and the cake, for example, while another company does.

Howell Michigan City Parks 2. Many public spaces, like parks or the local village green, may be available to rent at a low fee. However, if the space is not equipped to handle events, you’ll have to rent everything from napkins to tables and chairs. Make sure you come out ahead!

3. Choose an unusual venue, such as an aquarium, a zoo, a gallery or an historical site. Site fees are not high and you’ll save on decor because the venue already supplies ambiance. But the same caveat goes as for public spaces: Figure in what you’ll have to spend on rentals. Wouldn’t a leppard or zibra make a great groom’s cake?

I have the Christmas Spirit, do you?

Christmas Decorating

Decorating at Christmas Time

I have to admit that I have totally gotten the Christmas Spirit.  All I want to do is play Christmas songs, sing Christmas carols and bake holiday treats.

This year I have chosen to put my decorations up slowly. I am not tired or cranky and I am enjoying Christmas so much more.  First went up my nativity (as he is the reason for the season, right?), then the tree, then the mantel decorations, today will be outside lights and maybe windows lights, if I have time since my grandson is coming over to make candy and maybe some Christmas friendship tea. You see my 3 grandchildren come over, usually at different times, to help with the tree, windows, hanging cards, baking cookies, making fudge, making candy and of course, making Christmas cupcakes and cakes. I am so enjoying spending special time with them.  Everyone should try it, spending special time with friends and family that is.  I say, “who cares if I have the best looking decorated house, this season is for time with my family and friends”.

Merry Christmas

Be comfortable with your baker.

Your baker and other vendors are people you will be dealing with for months to come. Make sure you feel comfortable with them. You should feel that you can tell them anything you want done or not done without having to apologize. We as vendors are there to serve you. I appreciate it when a customer tells me what it is that they want or don’t want. Hey, it may not be what I want, but again it is not my wedding, special occasion or just because.

When you choose me as your baker, please tell me what you think, so I can make you happy. I am in the happy business
