Not a very good day!



  As I am now sitting back trying to relax. Just thinking of what weird/frustrating day I have had!  Thankfully it starts all over tomorrow :).  I have had some of the worst cake inquiries today!  I am very grateful for what I do and that I can stay home and work from home.  I think sometimes people just don't understand the work that goes into the cakes I do. I make everything homemade.  Even my fondant ( a lot of bakers do not because its a process and not easy) and I also really do try to work with people as far as pricing.  A RED FLAG for the future a post on Facebook that reads "in need of an amazing cake for CHEAP".  Lets just stop right there. You want a custom order amazing looking and amazing tasting for x amount of people for CHEAP.  I am just going to note that what the heck in this world is cheap anymore??  Sure not the supplies that I use or the amount of time it takes.  Because hey time is money and these cakes take a lot of time.  I had 3 of those today. Most times I even stay clear of it, but when people recommend me for them I totally appreciate it.  And then the battle is on for the person to talk whichever baker down to the very least price.  Ehh is frustrating.  However today I also had 2 bookings that were very easy too.  I am now booked for all but one date in January.  I am so grateful, and also have a lot of work ahead of me.  I don't like these type of frustrations. I take them hard because like I said I really do try to help people out when I can with pricing.  It was also just an extremely long long day..still getting used to Jason being back at work I guess.

Yesterday I bought Dallas an actual booster seat, so he can sit at the table with us and not in the high chair.  So I had Jason take the old high chair out and we strapped on the new booster for today.  I really thought he would like it.  For whatever reason during lunch he froze up and acted terrified of the height or whatever.  I tried to calm him down and show him it was okay, but it got so bad I thought he was like in pain.  He was so stiff didn't want to move and was freaking out.  I took him back to the bedroom and check him out, because I thought maybe something was wrong.  But no it was the high chair. Same thing during dinner.  I really hope he gets used to it, because I don't understand it at all.  It was so very strange.

Here is to a better day tomorrow :))
