Birthday wishes

This week I had a birthday cake to do for a girl at my work.  Her girlfriend was turning 28.  We decided on the stars idea.  She likes purple so that is the color we went with.  She wanted a yellow cake with chocolate frosting.  I only have one recipe for chocolate frosting and I am not all that impressed with it.  Paul's aunt Suzanne used to own her own catering business. She now does cooking classes in Stillwater and has been on Kare 11 during the 11 hour for cooking also.  I dropped her a email asking for help.  She shared with me her recipe and I was delighted!  I made it and fell in love with the taste.  It is nice and creamy.  It will now be my go to recipe.  I used fondant for the stars. 

Today I started making a smash cake for my nephew/godson Jacob.  He is one today!!  Happy Happy Birthday to him :)  My sister is having his 1st birthday photo shoot this Tuesday, so I am making him a smash cake for that.  It will be blue.  I will also be making his 1st birthday cake for the party we are having for him this coming Friday night.  I am super excited to make that one!  I think it will be great. 

On a side note, I had my starter show for lia sophia last night.  It went very well!  I was nervous last week about not having enough orders and not meeting $600 in sales to get the good discount for me.  I went beyond both in sales and orders and am very grateful for everyone who helped me reach that goal.  I was able to buy 16 more pieces of jewelry for a low price of $158!!  Talk about a great hostess program!  I will now have a decent showcase to share at my future parties.  I have two bookings already for May and am super excited.  I am hoping to maybe get a couple more before the month is out.  I am surprised at myself with how well I am trying and putting an effort into this.  I have had so many people tell me No or don't even resopnd to my email.  But I am still moving along hoping for the Yes.  I will keep you all updated on that progress and how my business is going.  If you would like to learn how you too can earn that much in jewelry for that little cost, let me know and we can discuss hosting a show.

I hope you all have a great week and don't forget to check in next week to see the 1st birthday cakes for Lil Jake!
