New Storefront and Progress Photos

So in case you don't follow me on Facebook, I wanted to share with all of you that my dream of having my own storefront bakery has finally come true. This has been in the works now for a few months but, we finally made it official and signed the lease. The bakery will be located in Bel Air MD, on Main St. We could not be more excited for the next chapter of Sweet Eats Cakes! I can't wait to open and start sharing all of my yummy treats with the community.

 

So I thought I would share some progress pictures with all of you. We were really lucky and have moved into a space that is practically move in ready. Just needs a little paint and some elbow grease and it should be ready in no time.

Aren't the floors to die for!

 



Going Blue!

 



New lights hung.

 



 

We are hoping to open by the end of the month! I am so excited to see how the business will grow from here! Thanks for all you support and love over the years! Wish us luck and we hope that if you are local you will swing by and check us out once we are open!

Can You Spot the Difference?

Have you ever played thise games where there are two pictures side-by-side, and there are small differences between the two? Well this post is sort of like that. The picture on the left was taken of the finished cake before delivery. The picture on the right was taken at the clients house after the cake was set-up. Can you see the differences? Well hopefully the differences are subtle and hard to notice.   

Sometimes deliveries do not always go as planned and smooth rides almost never happen. In reality deliveries can be pretty stressful especially with a fragile cake in the back. During this particular delivery we had to hit the brakes rather hard, and the tiers slide into the side of the box, that was meant to keep them safe. I had to do some patchwork on the cake to hide the damage. In the end though the cake looked beautiful, and the client never noticed (unless she reads this blog).

Here is the close-up of the cake stacked before delivery.

Finally, here are the changes that need to be made to the cake. See the difference?

Well this gives you a little insight into the how the cake gets from us to you. It does not always go as planned, but we must learn to role with the punches and deliver what was promised.
