lou Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Ok, Guichun has been working at our local A&P in the bakery dept.going on 4 years now, minus the year off for the birth of Jenna .Very hard job, most people want to work in that dept. becausethey get the most hours but very few last too long.They have one girl who is in charge of cake decorating, cakes forthe store and special orders. The last few months were busy andGuichun was able to help her out, she just took to it. Manager wasvery impressed and told her to take some classes, she did .Starting in Jan. she's in charge of cake decorating, the other girl isleaving, so more money and better hours for Guichun!She's been making cakes for family and friends for a bit now but Iguess I'm posting because I'm just so damn proud of her,everyone at work seen her work and over the last month shemade 3 cakes for my co-workers and made some nice money onthe side.1st one, just a spring theme.http://i48.tinypic.com/5oytxt.jpgNext one for a birthday, They just wanted a gift box.http://i46.tinypic.com/281g6eb.jpghttp://i48.tinypic.com/3166pgi.jpgCo-worker renewing their wedding vows, again very small.Ok, this last one blows my mind.Co-worker is having a sweet 16 party for her daughter, wantsa baseball theme, checked with a lot of shops and for a regularcake with some baseball decorations on top for 120 peoplethe cost would be about 500.00.Asks me if my wife can help, she says no problem I told her to be very careful because this was a big partyand there would be no time for my co-worker to run to thebakery if it could not be done.What does my wife do? she builds a ballpark!Posting them next!Not able to post all the photos in one post soI'll do them next Link to comment

Amaro Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Wow that is really awesome!! Im glad she found her specialty!!! Link to comment
lou Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Some extraordinary work there! Thanks Randy! The small cakes were easy but when she took onthe ballpark I was scared. She asked her co-workers to help butthey told her no way, too hard. I Just printed out a few photos of ballparks and she went to town.I wish I could take photos like you, mine didn't do the cake justice. Link to comment
tsap seui Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 What great lookin' cakes Lou. I'd be afraid to cut into one, they are so artistic it be like takin' a knife to that "Moaner Lisa" picture they have in France. Your wife is indeed talented. tsap seui Link to comment

Cathy Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Are you the couple came to Orlando CFL gathering in 2007? Guichun was pregnant back then. I wish I lived nearby. I surely would order the cake from her each time. Link to comment
