Swallowed by the Holidays

It has been awhile since I blogged.  Just like everyone else, my already insanely busy life gets all the more crazy around the holidays.  The past few weeks I’ve been juggling a full time job, opposite working hours as the hubby, a baby at home, baking, shopping, decorating, wrapping, get togethers and trying not to let the house fall apart.



Before Christmas, I made somewhere between 400 and 500 cake balls in either the form of pops or truffles.  These were for multiple orders, gifts and get togethers.  Surprisingly between all of the craziness and separate packaging of the treats – I did not manage to get any pictures.  One of my co-workers took a picture of one of those 400-500 treats from a batch I shared at work… Feast your eyes:

Not the best quality...



From the reading I’ve been doing, I’ve anticipated that January/February would be quieter as far as placing orders is concerned… but so far, I haven’t noticed with my January quickly filling up with various cake orders.



I’ve been doing a lot of cake pops and truffles lately, and while I enjoy putting them together and especially enjoying eating them, I’m really looking forward to decorating a cake again.  Some of the upcoming orders are really going to challenge me (camouflage, carving…)



Maybe when a slow season does roll around, I’ll be able to decorate a cake just per my design?



Anyway, just wanted to put a quick update out here.



Tam a Lam,
