A little bit of cake...

Today went by really fast at work. It was a lot of fun and today was a big whole sale production day. Sweet.

Did a lot of rustic cakes today and also a lot of glazing (mini cakes, rasperry, coconut, fudge, mousse bombs...you get it. I love finally being good at a few things and how much faster things are going. I love learning new things and I love getting better at new things!


The German...






Eat your heart out!

Carrot Cake:

Thats all you get for today!

3 years ago...

3 years ago today was October 13, 2006. It was Friday the 13th then.

This happened:



Followed by:



Which 6 months later was followed by:



And how could we forget about our little (then) addition:



Now here we are...



I could go on forever about how special Hyrum is and how wonderful a person he is. The truth is, if you know him, you already know all of this.

Its not hard to see why I fell in love with this amazing person 5 years ago.

Dinner at the Cathedral...

Our very favorite place to have Mexican food is this great place called Cathedral Tapatia......beyond yummy. It is built in a big old church with exposed wooden beams and 3 floors of dinning.

We went out to dinner to celebrate some small anniversaries that are coming up tomorrow and the next day.

(Maybe one day I will remember to grab my camera and stop relying on my horrible camera phone!)

---------------------------------

I got all ready and put on my fierce winter coat.



We sat in the very back and around the corner, sitting in our favorite spot...the most private spot as well.



It has this great crown molding all over the place (which I go totally nuts over).



Here is a picture of the outside, which of course is a horrible picture, and it is a beautiful place.

Tomorrow my weekend is over and I am back to work! It is getting much closer to the 22nd when my favorite girlfriend Cassandra and my God-daughter Olivia are coming to visit us. So Excited.

Saturdays are usually my favorite

Today is SATURDAY!!

That means that today was my last day of work for the week. I love having a Tuesday-Saturday schedule. Its been a lot of fun and I love Saturdays at the shop.


Today was pretty busy... as you can tell...




Here is one of the cakes that was done today:



Hope you have a great weekend.

More of the my favorite place...

Today was a very busy day at Dessert Tray. Finishing up and sending out all of the whole sale orders, special orders, in house items, prep. Tomorrow is going to be pretty busy as well!

Can I just say how much I love my job? How often do people get paid to do what they love? How often do these people get paid way more than they should be getting paid? Seriously? I love not having a typical desk job (boring!) and I love being able to pursue my artistic nature!

-----------------------------------------------------------

So this was one of the many cakes I did today for the in house case. It is a pretty simple white cake with vanilla simple syrup, coconut butter cream, vanilla butter cream, and toasted coconut to mask.

This is one of the many beautiful cakes we always have around the store.In the background you can see a tiny peak of the HUGE kitchen!

And for the final picture of the day...

Our front counter with some of my cakes in the display case. More of the beautiful cakes just hanging around.



Love my job, but am sure ready to recoup this weekend! Tomorrow is my last day of work before my beautiful weekend!
