Hello All-
I have decided to start a blog, obviously! I never have done this because I never had anything to write about. There are so many mommy blogs, and I am not the most conventional mother. So my mommy blog would be: Today Aiden said his prayers and thanked God for beer and wine. I don't think I really want the world judging my mothering skills!!
I have really taking up baking and cake decorating as a hobby and my goal is to make it something more. I want to use this blog to reach out to other bakers, other mommy's who have started a business out of their home, and of course friends and family.
My goal is to bake three days a week. I want to practice something new at least one of those days. The other days I bake and send it with my husband to work to leave in his breakroom. So I will blog about my experiences. The other days I will list some of my perfected recipes, and baking tips I have discovered along the way. There might be some mommy and wife moments thrown in along the way. I would really love to learn from other people along the way as well.
My long term goal is to start a baking business from my home, the main reason is because I love to bake and I want to be home with my kids. I decided to name my little business FireStar cakes. The reason is because Aiden name means "little fire" and Stella's name means "star". If a third kid happens to ever come along, I guess they are out of luck!! I am thinking of reaching out to local restaurants to see if they would like to sell my cakes, like I mentioned above I am sending cakes with Corny to work to entice his co-workers to buy cakes for me, and lastly I will make up flyer's and take them into local business. Any other ideas??
So today I baked an Italian Cream Cake (minus the coconut and pecans, because Corny doesn't like them) and I will make buttercream frosting. Today is my practice day. I need to perfect the buttercream frosting, I have not once made any that I am proud of. I will blog tomorrow about how it went! I am also seeing if the cakes turn out okay if I separate the cakes on the racks. So 2 on top and one on the bottom. They don't fit well on one rack, the sides burn a bit, so I am hoping they will still bake evenly this way. Aiden got to help today because it is practice. He gets so upset when he sees me making cakes for people and cannot be involved! The cake is in the oven now, and I love the way it makes the house smell!
Until tomorrow..........
PS I am going to try and load pictures of my previous cakes. Lets see if I can :)
