Wow, a morning alone. Don't even have the radio playing. Just quiet. Amazing how peaceful and yet how lonely. My folks took Mallory to see her cousin, Abby. Michael took the boys to a basketball tourney, and I have 2 cakes to decorate and about 300 roses to make for a wedding cake next weekend. Yet, I just can't get past how quiet it is here.
The two cakes this morning are for first communions. I got some sugar crosses like we use at the grocery store, so I'm really excited about how those will turn out. I'm doing one in chocolate icing, so I think that will be really sharp. I did an open Bible Easter cake last weekend for my Grandma Rose. I think she was impressed.
I'm really excited about next weekend's cakes, too. We have a grand opening for our new church addition and they wanted cake for 225 people. I think the easiest way to do that is a stacked wedding cake, so I started making plans toward that. I can't believe how that gets my blood going. Some things are just so exciting you can't stop thinking about them. This is one of those things for me. Then a couple days ago, Michael ordered a cake for 100 for the Friday of this same weekend. He's going to get the same thing! I thought it would be easy, but one is Friday and one is Sunday, so there will have to be some coordination. It will be nice to have the smaller one for practice first. But I plan to get a serious number of roses done for them this morning, so I'd best get going on the project. I just wanted to take advantage of the silence. It's not the most frequent sound around here anymore!

Ah yes, peace and quiet in the house. I know just what you mean. sometimes you just have to soak it in for a little bit before getting down to business. Have fun with the cakes.

The cakes look awesome. My mother use to bake and decorate cakes for her "side" profession; I just remember knowing to stay away from the kitchen. I'm glad you got to work in "peace", but didn't the silence seem weird?
Smiles,
