Three weeks in a row!

It's been three weeks now since I decided to post every week, and I'm still going strong.

We are now closed for the remainder of the year, but I promise you I am working hard on several updates and our new product launch.

For those of you looking ahead to planning a wedding in 2010, we will be participating in the Here Comes the Bride bridal show at the Crowne Plaza in Union Station on Sunday January 31st from 12-4. This is the link to the website to allow you to purchase tickets in advance: http://herecomethebridesbridalshow.com/

We will have samples of our cake, several displays, and information to take home. We will also be on hand to answer any questions and set up appointments, if you'd like.

We would also like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We are looking forward to helping make all of your family occasions a little more special with a tasty treat from Indy Cakes.

Indy Cakes is making a few updates

While we will be closed for the last two weeks of the year, rest assured we will be hard at work. We will be making a few updates to the website, fine tuning some of the new items that we will have after the first of the year, re-doing a few of our display cakes, preparing for the upcoming bridal show, and planning our 1 year annivesary celebration! We will not be returning phone messages, but we will be able to review and respond to emails. However, be patient as it may take us a few days to respond.

Holiday Hours

We are going to be closed from Dec 19th thru Jan 1st to allow our staff time with their families during the holidays. We will not be accepting cake orders for this time. We will also be using some of this time to make updates to our website and prepare to launch a few new products. Keep checking our blog for more details!

Pre-New Year's resolution

Ok folks, here it is. My pre-New Year's resolution is to post one new post each week. I am setting aside and hour of time every Wednesday, so hopefully I can keep everyone updated on the goings-on inside of Indy Cakes.

I will try to have a photo or two in each post, but might not be able to on busy weeks (aren't they all busy weeks?)!

We have several new things that we are working on for the next year. Don't worry, I'm sure you will love them.

Also, we will be celebrating our one year anniversary in February (YEAH INDY CAKES!!). We are planning a minor celebration at the shop with some coupons and some freebies!!

Hopefully you will hear from me soon. If not, feel free to email and remind me to post.

We're still getting used to blogging, so we appreciate your patience. Rest assured, this post is worth the wait.

We were recently asked to help make a memorable 21st birthday cake. The request was for a 3D Ice Dragon. With a picture of the dragon in mind, we set to work. First, we practiced, then we practiced some more, then we bought a new airbrush and practiced a little bit more. We, as well as the birthday gent, were very pleased with the result.

All about the butterflies

One of the things that we love here at Indy Cakes is getting to try new and exciting techniques. One recent request was to make a wedding cake with butterflies, specifically pastel butterflies. We also try to make as much of the cake edible as possible, so we knew that we didn't want to use plastic or acrylic butterflies from a craft store. After a little practice and research, we were able to make some very realistic butterflies that were not only pretty, but also edible.

What about when my princess grows up?

Now I know that it hasn't been years since my last post, but let's fast forward to your little princess's sweet 16, shall we? Wait, you mean it seems like only yesterday when you were putting her in tiara's and tutu's and now you're trying to find a discount on her auto insurance? While I can't help you with the auto discounts, I can help you with a cake to make her sweet 16 a success. Whether you are planning a party worthy of the reality show, or just a fun night for her and her friends, we've got something for you.

If she's a fan of the zebra print, we've done several different designs that incorporated these wildly popular prints.

Or maybe she's more of a romantic, girly-girl and wants to have everything flowery and pink. We can do that too.

Lastly, if she's got her heart set on being the star for the evening, why not throw a Hollywood themed party? This cake would be the centerpiece of the night.
