NEW BLOG!

Yes, it is truly ridiculous that I, who blogs once every 6 months, should have another blog, but it's true! I have a new blogsite for my newly updated business, Sweetest Whimsy. It can be accessed from my new website: http://www.sweetestwhimsy.com/. It's chock full of news, product information and ideas related to my world of cakes, paper, parties and gifts! I hope the faithful few who actually check 'Who are You Calling Little?" will visit my new blog! I promise I am keeping up with it much more consistently, in the interest of good business! Please visit!

The Cake Bu$ine$$

My friend Rachel emailed me the most fabulous cake decorating article. Apparently there is a new movie coming out (or already out in some cities) about 2 rival, high-end cake decorators! Cake ladies have hit the big time!!! I can't wait to see it. In the movie, the cake decorators charge something like $20,000 per cake, or $20/slice! I wish . . . ! Actually, I have definitely noticed a growing interest in cake decorating in the 8 years since I started, and judging from the recent demand for new, technically challenging Wilton Method Cake Courses, people are quite interested in cake decorating as both a hobby and a 'dream business.' I am happy to be a small part of all of this! 'Small' as in $2/slice!
The Mom of one of my daughter's friends told me yesterday, at the 2nd kids birthday party of the weekend for which I made the cake, that she really envied me because of my cake biz! Wow! She said she wished she could do the same, so I told her to 'just do it!' All you need is some really supportive friends to get you started . . . oh, and a little bit of talent. . . . !
