What a month!
Crazy weather, crazy schedule and
crazy how many people with March birthdays
are in my life now! I need a rest! But no time to stop now. Easter is just around the corner, with graduations and communions right behind.
I took a little pause in work this past weekend
to drive to Charleston to spend time with my
Mother. It is so interesting how we learn about
ourselves through our mother's eyes. She just
can not get over that her mischievous child has
such a cake business. We shared many laughs
as I told her some of the recent happenings at
the Bakery.
Sometimes I just think we are a reality show.
Just last week a customer asked that we make a
cake to send to the someone in the Athletic Department
at Chapel Hill. Usually, we would just put our chocolate dots in the schools' colors and decorate the cake with those,
but our dear Jessica had another creative brainstorm
and piped out little blue chocolate footprints with black
chocolate in the heel of the foot for the 'Tarheels.'
It was adorable.
Now all that sounds just fine, right?
Well, the staff was so tickled with the cake they posted
a picture of it on our Facebook page.
Now that sounds just fine too...right?
You see at Caroline's Cakes we think of 'March Madness' as the month we discount our Caramel Cake for all of our
customers in celebration of my birth month.
Let's just say that the morning after the picture was posted,
I spent three hours fending off Facebook posts and emails from our adorable, yet 'outraged,' customers who thought we were supporting one team over another.
We are quick learners here at Caroline's Cakes, and now we are talking about that other 'March Madness' and referring to the 'Sweet Sixteen,' the 'Elite Eight' and the 'Final Four.'
Some of us have even become experts
on the different school mascots.
Jessica has been busy decorating other cakes in the different
schools' colors. And Laura has been trying to take photos of all to post on our Facebook page.
I do not think we will be able to get everything up this year as it looks as if we are approaching the finals, but we will have the complete album up on Facebook very shortly.
If you want to be sure that we represent your school let us know. We have been doing this for high schools, colleges, universities and sororities for several years. You may visit our new "Dot Page" on the website to choose your schools colors for your cake.
Think graduations!
This all happened in the middle of the Bakery making
350 miniature Caramel Cakes and Laura, Kathy and Alison boxing them in our special gift packing for a benefit we are sponsoring at The Gibbes Art Museum in Charleston, SC, this coming Friday. Carolyne Roehm will speak at the luncheon and our miniature Caramel Cakes will be on everyone's plate in their blue and white boxes with
a little silver fork tied in the bow of the ribbon.
This has been the first time we have done something like this and it has been a wonderful, if challenging, experience.
So you see, life at Caroline's Cakes is not always a
'Cake Walk.' but we never lose our sense of humor.....
That is what carries us through.
WHEW!!!!........Come on April.......we are ready........
Hoppy Easter.......Happy Spring.......
As always.......
