{*All together now: Deep sigh of relief.*}
As of Monday, December 17th (G-d willing, two weeks from today) Wesley boards our bus.
For over 15 years Wesley has been a professional cake decorator and, more recently, retail-store manager at Baskin-Robbins in Westwood.
That means three fabulous things are about to happen:
- We’re increasing our hours. (Oh, thank G-d!) Starting December 17th, we’re open 10am-6pm, Monday-Thursday. Friday & Sunday, 10am-2pm, same as before. Calling ahead is still encouraged. (With another person here, we may even be able to answer the phone!)
- Eugenie will get off the cash register and back to more important things, like lunch. By mid-January, on a very limited basis, we’re serving real live food, mostly soup & sandwiches, from 11:30am-2pm, Monday-Thursday only.
- We’ll have dependable special-occasion cakes. We’ve had decorators moonlight, and our cake-baker has been taking cake-decorating classes, but overall it’s been pretty catch-as-catch-can around here in the cakes department. Not anymore. (We can always get celebrity-decorators to moonlight for really special occasions, like weddings.)
In fact, we’re also investing in one of those edible-image-printers (where we can “Place any image/photo onto a cake or decorated cookie!”), and shipping boxes, etc. We hope to build decorated-cakes into a significant stream of income for us.
As always, we’ll keep you posted with any new developments!
