I made a super tall three layered carrot cake for J.C and delivered it to her at the restaurant where she was eating, apparently the restaurant manager had a piece and took my contact details off her... hmm I would consider trading one of these with his mud crabs.
Made another carrot cake with banana without nuts for Elise's aunty, that was half a disaster as I was again in a mad rush, for the first time, I actually wish there were more hours in a day... at least for weekends anyway!! I didn't take a photo of it (mad rush) and the cream cheese icing didn't get a chance to set before I dashed out... getting lost on my way there and the bumpy ride didn't do the already fragile cake any good... I felt horrible that it cracked and was a bit lopped sided when I finally got there... I was feeling really crappy about it until I received Amanda's text message in the afternoon which was all nice saying the crack didn't affect its taste or popularity with the guests. Thank you Amanda (and Elise) for your support!
So it was another baking oriented weekend, I still didn't get as much baked as I had hoped to...but I had a whole body remedial massage, a much needed one, extremely painful as my body has been feeling strained for the last two months from lack of sleep and intensive use of otherwise under utilised muscle groups - knots everywhere! It was a bit torturous during the massage but afterwards, I felt better... I'm also now taking chinese herbal medicine, the really bitter black stuff that mum's preparing for me twice everyday now... I think my body has finally burnt out!
Thus, I've decided not to take anymore cake orders, I got to learn to say no lol... and will just focus on the orders I've got now that is manageable. Although, I'd love to have the time to make all the requested cakes for special occasions, but I simply can't keep up with the demand (with working back late etc...), and it's pretty draining not having time to do anything else. I feel like crap everyday physically, and health should come first. I hope I'll be able to recover slowly, adjust back to a normal sleeping routine, one that I actually get enough sleep!
Just finished making another opera cake, a last minute order from Jess to please her colleagues lol...
It's 2am now...... eeek!!! I'll update the numbers when I get a chance, there were a few donations collected this weekend for cake orders :))
Please, donate for yourselves coz it feels good to give, don't do it for me or the cakes (that would be silly)!!
