Thanksgiving! My favorite holiday!

Thanksgiving! My favorite holiday! 

It is such a special time, sharing the most special gift of all with family and friends.......

time.....our time....It is the most meaningful thing we can give to another and there never seems to be enough of it.

At our shop in Annapolis they are busy baking our adorable 

Terrance the Turkey Cakes  and Cupcakes. Terrance is my favorite seasonal cake.

I remember the first one  we made in Annapolis.........

I just had to give him a little kiss on his beak!

Of course, then he was mine.......all mine.....

and I placed him on the side of my desk until I shared him, to much delight,

with my staff. Over those weeks hundreds of Terrance the Turkey Cakes went out of the shop. Pumpkin, Chocolate, Caramel, Vanilla, whatever the flavor our Terrance the Turkey added great delight to many Thanksgiving gatherings. The shop is, also,

beginning to offer new bakery items for you to enjoy.

  

Here in Spartanburg, in our new 'International Headquarters,'   

time is flying faster that it ever has before. We have been hustling in every area  

of our new space setting our systems in place and making sure

they all work better than ever. Well, I alone, have lost eight pounds dashing

across the bakery floor, helping out in every different department to be sure

all of you are taken care of properly and receive our wonderful cakes

and gourmet items as you always have.

We began baking the middle of September and shipped our first cake

from South Carolina two weeks later.

As my dad would say, 'We have been running like a sewing machine.'  

And that we have. All of our time, that has been spent planning   

how we do things here at Caroline's Cakes to best take care of our customers,

paid off in spades. In our spacious new building, we became more efficient  

as we completed week after week of perfect performance.

Once all of our signature cakes were baked we FINALLY were able to

bake our  7-Layer Pumpkin Cake just in time for Thanksgiving.

It was a sign for us that we were organized and that all the time we had put into planning our move was time well spent. Those of you who had already called in to  

put your name on the list were called back and your Pumpkin Cakes were shipped out.  It has become one of my traditions for Thanksgiving,  so I was especially delighted when it came out of the oven.

Thank you for your patience as we have been quiet these past eight weeks.  

Our time was time spent with thoughts of you and it was time well spent.

So to all of you who are so special to all of us........

Gobble, Gobble..........

Happy, Happy Thanksgiving!

Caroline
