I decided to step out on faith and now I'm excited!

On Monday, I decided that I was going to take a step out on faith and try selling some lunch plates this week in order to promote my business and make a little extra money. I've been out of work for 6 months now and my constant job search has now become a constant frustration. I know God is telling me that I need to take what he has blessed me with and do something more with it...and that's exactly what I'm doing this week. My mom put the word out at her job that I would be selling lunch plates this week and what do you know...I got 6 orders from her job. That's definitely something to get excited about and I thank God for that blessing. I'm also going to be selling individual cake slices. My mom's co-workers love my cakes and I know this because I've brought them cake before and every time, I sell out! Who doesn't love a good cake. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I think I do pretty darn good in the pastry area! I can also do some wonderful down-home cooking and the only way to find out is to check me out and put in an order. Hey, what's the worse that can happen...either you'll like it or you won't!

I LOVE A GOOD BURGER!!!

Last night was burger night in my household. I must say, I think I really outdid myself. The burgers were sooooo good. I love a homemade burger...there's nothing like it. I wanted to do homemade fries with it but I didn't have any potatoes handy and I was too lazy to go to the store to get some. My husband said his burger was so good that he dreamed about it and he wants another one tonight. I guess it's burger night again...I'm not complaining!!!! It was just t hat good!

One of my BFF's had a surprise birthday party courtesy of her husband and I was asked to bake the cake. I was very much obliged and I believe this was one of my best creations yet, in appearance and taste. My husband told me this was one of the best cakes he had ever tasted. He had two very large pieces at the party so I knew he wasn't lying. I put alot of TLC into this cake so I was hoping it came out looking and tasting good! And it did!!! It was so moist and the buttercream icing was just the right amount of sweet!!! DELISH!!!!

CAKE, CAKE, & MORE CAKE!!!

Over the course of the last several weeks, I have had the opportunity to bake many cakes for people and I have realized that my love for being in the kitchen is stronger than I thought. Whether it's cooking for my family, baking a cake for a customer, or catering a party, I am so happy and content when in the kitchen. It brings me such joy and pleasure to be able to prepare home cooked meals for people and it makes me even more happy to see them eat and enjoy it. I have been blessed ten times over with this gift. Each time I get in the kitchen, I learn something new and I perfect my craft. If it weren't for my wonderful hubbie puching me to do this, I may not have realized my true love for cooking and baking. Thanks babe!!!
