Cakes, expansion, passion....and off to Budapest!




August is certainly slipping away from us.Vacations are ending, school is beginning and fall routines are being put into place as our tan lines begin to fade and  fall colors start brightening around us.

What a delight it is to see the notes sent with our cakes to show appreciation for a special vacation!
Some are funny, some are heart felt, and all will certainly put you on the list for next year!

There is so much to share here at Caroline's Cakes as we look towards September.

First, Richard, Laura and I have been working diligently as we prepare for the final
two inspections of our expansion in Spartanburg, SC. It looks as if we will have the 'OK' to begin firing up our ovens there by early next week. 
Laura is beginning to post pictures of the finished bakery on Facebook.
It is BIG and spacious and very, very white.  
From our team of contractors to our building and health inspectors, everyone is thrilled with our progress and the improvements we have made
to our new building.

The bakery and deli in Annapolis is beginning to spruce up with the help of Kathy and Richard.
As the baking and shipping of our signature cakes moves from that location, Kathy will begin working with me to create additional baked goods to offer in the storefront.
Now that our phone stations are moving out of the back of the deli,
Richard is making plans for a more spacious dining area and new recipes for the Fall.

All of our offerings in Annapolis will remain the same and will just get better.  
I invite you to drop in from time-to-time over the next few months to enjoy our evolution.

As if all of this was not quite enough,
I am completing a year of research and investigative work on the history of the layer cake.
In early September I leave for Budapest, Hungary, to begin filming a documentary on this subject and the man who had a passion and a dream in creating the great-great grandfather of all layer cakes.  
This has been a most extraordinary experience in a very busy year for Caroline's Cakes.

So much to tell, but it must wait.
My best to you all for a wonderful Labor Day with your friends and family.

........and to everyone here at Caroline's Cakes..........
we will all be 'Taking it to the 7th Layer' this September......
that I know for sure!
