I survived my first summer with every weekend booked from May-October.  As much as I love my job and love creating different cakes every week, it is nice to take a break and spend a little time with my family.  As much free time as I thought I would have, I am finding myself just as busy, but with practice cakes, advertising, printing photos, updating my website etc.  I haven't been able to sleep because I can't stop thinking about new cakes.  I will get up 10 times after I've gone to bed to write an idea down.  I am almost considering offering cakes in the off season half price, as long as I can design it.  I have endless ideas and can't wait to do the next cake.
