Oh, THAT Recession!

So, let's just hope it was a bad week, but with letters coming left and right saying that our credit limits are slashed and a VERY slow week for orders, we are feeling pinched, to say the least.

Themes

You know that old line about how things always come in threes? Well, it's not always in threes, but we've noticed time and again how wedding cakes ten to have the same themes from one weekend to the next. 3 weekends ago we had two different groom's cakes both designed like XBox 360s.

2 weekends ago, it was Star Wars. We had the Rebel Alliance symbol on a groom's cake, Han Solo and Leia topping the bride's cake (the bride custom-made her own topper), and figurines on another groom's cake.

This past weekend, the theme was red and black color schemes. There was a red & black plaid/brocade combo for a bridal shower, a red-swirled bride's cake, and a matching red & black groom's cake.

The recurring themes happen over and over again, and we get a kick out of it every time and thought you might, too.

Fort Worth Zoo Beastro

This past Friday was our 3rd time to participate in the Fort Worth Zoo Beastro. It is a fundraiser for the Zoo and is a one-of-a-kind tasting event in the Zoo after hours with food from great local restaurants, live music, open bars, and lots more. We took cupcakes again- 3 flavors this time- lime, pineapple, and strawberry. If you've never seen 800+ cupcakes all at once, it is quite impressive! The Zoo opened up their private events area this time and we had a blast since we were close enough to hear the bands- Better Than Ezra and Time Machine. We also got a lot more interaction with the crowd this time (thank you to the anonymous young lady who was giving out kisses!).
