It's been a while since we've had a cake 101 video, but here is the latest installment in Cake University -- filling and frosting. See the Cake Ninja wrangle with her most loved/hated tool -- the cake leveler!

An experiment
Labels:

As you may have noticed, I am not so great on keeping up with blog content. I mean well, but life gets in the way.
So, I am going to try an experiment. For the next two cakes, I will be taking photos and posting on the process from start (concept and reference art) to finish (happy recipients eating cake).
It dovetails nicely into Cake 101, because I'm doing gumpaste for one of them. (Speaking of Cake 101/Cake University, yes there are videos coming, as soon as my editor has time.)
So we'll see how it goes. I am not promising any specific sort of posting schedule, but both cakes are due September 15th, so expect to see more posts soon.

A slight uptick in jobs

I know I haven't posted in forever, mostly because it's been a very busy life at Chez Cake Ninja.
However, I now have two different cake jobs coming up. For Sunday I am doing pastel cupcakes with flowers, birds, and butterflies for a first birthday party. And for the following Saturday I am doing a carrot cake for a baby shower.
Both are for friends, so it's customers I already had in my rolodex, but there's always the hope that some new business will come out of it.
I did not, as of yet, see any new business due to Handmade Homemade, and with the August HaHo having been canceled, and having to bow out of the September and October ones due to personal business, I am not sure I will. But there's always the December holiday market, and next year.
It takes time and energy to build a clientele, and I need to work on having more of both available.
