Have Your Cake and Eat It Too...As Long As You Pay For It

In the fall of 2010, me and my roommate, Carla, started a tiny cake business. It all started when I offered to make my little brothers' friend's birthday cake for him...

I absolutely LOVE Spongebob, so this was exciting to make! Yeah, I know the writing at the bottom looks a little crummy (haha...crummy....get it?), but this was my first time really writing with icing.

After making that cake, it dawned on me that, this is what I want to do, this is my passion! So me and Carla made up a Facebook page ( Krista & Carla's Cakes ) that would help us get the word out. We've done pretty well, especially this month, we had 4 cake orders the first week of Feb! It was hectic, that's for sure, but it was so worth it in the end!

We do charge for our cakes when people order them, but trust me, these cakes are delicious and I'm always so envious of the people that order them and get to eat them....so jealous...I know, I have a sugar problem, but who doesn't (be honest)?

The lasted cake we embarked on was a Princess themed cake. Adorable right?

I thought it was just so darn precious!! It was our first big time sculptured type of cake, so it was quite difficult to get the fondant on (we make our own, it tastes better) but we accomplished it and it came out looking awesome!

Baking takes away the stress of a long school day. I do admit, that sometimes, it adds stress, but the end result is always worth it.

What's you're favorite thing to do that calms your nerves after a long stressful day? If you like to bake and decorate...we could become great friends :)
