Thanks Sundae.

Coming up over the next couple of weeks, I have been commissioned to make a batman head. Basically going to just do the mask part. Not going to worry about putting the mouth and chin on. The client seems to want just the mask anyway. I also have the croquembouche coming up on the 20th of this month. I am really starting to stress about that one. haha As if 6 months of stressing wasn't enough already. Anyway, I'm just trying to focus on the fact that I can do all the elements, and I've made a smaller version before, and the bride has agreed to the caramel instead of chocolate, so I'm sure it will all be fine. It just wakes me in the middle of the night sometimes. lol

I also have a two tier engagement cake to do in a few weeks time which is just beautiful. The client sent me a picture of what she wants, so I'll basically be copying someone else's design (more or less). It's a very on trend design at the moment though, so I don't think there'll be any problems with that. It wont be exactly the same. Just very similar.

I also have a fireman sam cake to do. I had to look him up and see what he looks like. Apparently he drives a firetruck, and he wears a fireman outfit. Who would have thunk it. haha I think that one will end up being a firetruck with sam standing next to it.

I did the markets yesterday. Sold out all bar a two boxes of 4, so not a bad effort. Looking forward to the next market in a few weeks. Particularly since it's only 400 metres from home. I like this markets in the village thing we have going on here.

My next big project is to start getting a portfolio together to take to the markets with me so people can look at pictures of my cakes as well as purchasing cupcakes. I think it will increase my audience. As much as I hate to admit it, not everyone likes cupcakes, but people most likely think that's all I do if they don't stop and grab a card.
