Cake Stall of AWESOMENESS!

Greeting earthlings!

Every year the nursing home I used to work in (members of my family still do) holds their fete/market day. This joyous occasion fell on Saturday 23^rd of October this year, and as usual some friends and I volunteered to help out.

The Lovely Kate & Karla, half of team Cake Stall of AWESOMENESS :)

Usually you would find us behind the counter of the Devonshire tea stall up to our ears in scones, jam, cream and a whole lot of tea and coffee. This year we decided to mix it up a little, and run the cakes and jam stall.

Of course, I couldn’t run a cake stall without some contributions from my kitchen! It’s funny how every time I volunteer to do some baking I hear a collective moan from my friends. They are well aware that a baking day means they will have to spend a hours in my tiny kitchen surrounded by trays of cupcakes or fudge or brownies and try to resist the temptation to shove the whole lot in their mouths. (Hey, I let them lick the bowls and spoons!)

So on Friday 22^nd of October, my oven was switched on at around 0815 and was running continuously until around 1730. We baked around 70 cupcakes (only 48 of these were for sale... where did the others go people??), 2 batches of caramel and m&m fudge & 2 batches of brownies with white chocolate chunks.

Sounds delicious no?

As my life’s dream is to have my own cake decorating business running out of a small cafe/bakery I decided to play around with the packaging options and created a temporary logo for what I want my business to be called – Callisto Cakes.

The packaging looked great, and i want to send a big thank you out to Ex, Kate, Jordie & Karla for all their help wrapping a thousand and one brownies and fudge bars and sticking hundreds of labels on noodle boxes for me.

You guys are awesome J

Congrats to everyone at Bowden Brae – the fete was a success as usual. Our Cake stall ended up raising over $800 thanks to generous donations of delicious baked goods from everyone.
