Today we celebrate the birthday of a remarkable man. My grandfather, my mother's father Ramon. He went to school for only a few years of but later taught himself how to read and write with the newspaper and a few of my mother's elementry school books. He later went to the army and showed an interest in cooking. How did he get started? Doing dishes. He later became a chef at the Holiday Inn cooking for banquets and other events. At one point he even owned a candy store. The kind with the pretty clear jars filled with penny candies! He would even bake cakes and muffins for us from time to time. He took as much pride in his work cooking the Christmas ham as he did making me an omelet for breakfast as a kid. I miss my grandfather so much! How I wish I could have learned his craft by him. I love you and miss you so much!! Happy birthday Papi!! Gen Today we would like to say Happy Birthday to someone very special who is no longer with us. My grandmother, my mother's, mother. Marcelina. You can say she's the reason we got into the cake decorating business. She was ill for the last year or so of her life. After she passed, mom needed something to keep her busy and fill in the gap of all the hospital and nursing home visits we use to make. She suggested cake decorating classes. I've always had a thing for baking. But it was just simple stuff. We even came up with the name because of grandma. She would sometimes ask for something (sweet) or a piece of (Cakie). Cakie Sweets was born out of the love for something sweet. Happy Birthday grandma. We love you and miss you so much! Gen One Expo down, hopefully many future ones to go. Here is a pic (to the left) of our table at the expo. Mom created a great poster with tons of pics with our pretty cake designs. Check out my sweet table cover I scored from our Florida trip ;) Many mini cupcake samples were given out! We had Lemon, Red Velvet, and Chocolate. Chocolate was the favorite of the day!! Lots of positive feedback. Can't wait for then next! ~Gen So, these happened today. I love trying new recipes! I I've never made a cookie bar before and decided to look up different recipes to see what they consisted of. Turns out it's practically identical to chocolate chip cookies, except for the M&Ms of course. I can't wait to try these with other candies like Reese's pieces. I decided to add these to the menu and thanks to the large selection of colors M&Ms have, these can be tailored to match the colors of a theme. There's a first time for everything Welcome to our website & to our blog! Not much on here yet but we have to start somewhere right? Hope this is the first of many. Come back and check us out from time to time and if you need a cake, cupcakes or other yummy treats email us at [email protected]
