One half and then another

Saturday night I had a horrible nights sleep and when the alarm went off at 4a.m on Sunday morning I was not ready to get up for work. I dragged myself through the house getting dressed and then pushed myself out the door.

When I got to work one of the first things I saw was the two cake orders hanging on my table. I had forgotten all about them and dreaded having to squeeze them in to my morning. A cup of coffee or two was in order and then down to business.

The first one was due at 10:00

I had just started on the second one and was getting ready to do the writing when the lady who ordered it showed up and asked if I could take one name off because that person wasn't going to be showing up. I told her she was just in time since I was just about to do the writing.

Gosh, these are BEAUTIFUL! I always like seeing your bakery art. I never would have guessed how crummy you were feeling. The first cake is so classy. And the second is just dreamy. I must go to bed immediately now before I eat all the sweets in the house...

My word, those are gorgeous! I love the rosebuds and the leaves - looks like delicate work.

I love it when things like that happen. What luck!

The cakes are lovely. You are certainly very good at your job, Ann!

sorry you had to get up so early and decorate those cakes, but it was good news she got there in time to remove the name before you wrote it... you are so talented

Anni said...

Pretty results! Of course with your artistic nature, that's to be expected.

Ann said...

Thank you. I'm starting to feel like they all look the same just different colors. I think I need to learn a few new tricks.

Ann said...

Thanks. When I first started doing these all those years ago I was so scared to do them. I've made plenty of mistakes over the years but that's how I learned...lol

Ann said...

Aww, thanks. I've had lots of practice.

Ann said...

When I first started doing these I stressed over each one. Now they are a piece of cake...lol

Sandee said...

That worked out well. Sometimes things just are timed right. This was.

Have a fabulous day off, Ann. Big hug to you and tons of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥

Very impressive!!! I have no clue how people write so pretty on a cake. I tired to add writing one time and it was a train wreck!!! Very beautiful work Ann!

Ann said...

Ann said...

A lot of people have trouble writing on them.

Ann said...

Thank you

Reeni said...

Beautiful! I hope you had a restful day off!!

Pam said...

Nice...I can't make roses at all. HAHA...I know those days. I was up before five this morning with only 4 hours sleep last night. I was always like that when I worked before, could not go to sleep on Sunday night. Back to doing it again. Hope you got rest last night.

Marg said...

I'm so sorry about having to work when you didn't get enough sleep, but the cakes are gorgeous. It's impressive you can crank them out even when you are sleep-deprived.

Ann said...

I did, it was wonderful

Ann said...

Thanks. I struggled with making roses for the longest time, now they are easy.

Ann said...

thank you

Ann said...

Thanks. It's been a long time since I did my first cake there. IT's hard to believe it's been over 20 years since I started working there

Ann said...

Oh well, such is life...lol
Sometimes I think I can do my job in my sleep. After 20 some years I guess I should be able to
