Back to Mother's day

Today I'm going to take a quick trip back to Mother's Day. You know that I had to work but that's nothing new. I always work on Mother's Day. The day wasn't a total loss. A co-worker came in and gave me a carnation,

the boss gave me a plant

and my daughter and her husband stopped over and gave me a Pioneer Woman planter and a garden flag.  

In addition to that Wade's youngest son had sent me a Mother's Day card in the mail and then texted me Sunday morning. My son couldn't be bothered with coming to see me but sent the obligatory text message. 

On another note, the other day Anni commented that said I think I left a comment earlier! Did it end up in your spam folder?!!

Well, I went and looked and sure enough, not only was her comment in spam but so were several others. I have no idea why that happened. Had Anni not said anything I never would have noticed.

   

A thank you

Today I have a little story that goes along with the baby shower cake I showed you the other day. That cake had been ordered for a Saturday. The following Monday was the day that I had that big donut order. On Tuesday I went to work to discover that I had another donut order for 18 dozen at 7:00 am Wednesday morning. Needless to say my Tuesday was not off to a good start. Later on in the morning a customer came up and said can I talk to you. My initial reaction was oh no I have a complaint. She motioned me down to the end of the counter where she proceeded to tell me that I had made her daughter's birthday cake as well as that baby shower cake. Then she told me that I was a gift and handed me an Amazon gift card.

She said that she had won it at the baby shower and knew that she had to give it to me. I told her it was totally unnecessary but she made my day. It sure is nice to know when your work is appreciated. She definitely put a smile on my face

On the post with the cake Anni had asked if the booties were something I learned or tried for the first time. Well I was taught how to do these a long long time ago by another girl who used to work in the bakery. I've made a lot of them over the years.

Happy Mothers Day

 I would like to wish all the moms out there a very happy Mother's Day. I hope you enjoy your day no matter what you decide to do.

Being that it's Sunday I have to work but I have nothing planned any way. 

It's a boy

I recently had a cake order for a baby shower. The woman who ordered it told me to do whatever I wanted but she did request pale green and yellow.

I tried something different with the writing. Instead of using a writing tip I used one that I normally use for borders. I kind of liked the look.

I made baby booties out of marshmallows. You you take two marshmallows and connect them with a toothpick then add a third one sideways to the bottom one and attach with another toothpick. Then using the star tip cover it with the frosting. Finish it off with a little bow

The last think I did was add a few little plastic duckies to finish it off.
