Veranda Homestead

December 8, 2010: Veranda Homestead

We have many return customers to the store.  Some of them are good and others you never want to see again.  There is one man from Veranda Homestead, an elderly community, Michael, who often comes in for his cakes.  The building was holding it's thirtieth anniversary party and Michael wanted us to carve a cake into a specific design and decorate it: the logo of the company.  Michael was the head chef for the home's kitchen.  He was one of our best supporters and purchased several dozen cakes with us per year. 

Michael wanted the cake carved into what looked like the letter "V" with a leaf over it.  Normally we don't go above and beyond the generic designs for customers except on extremely rare occasions and given that we have the time.  We had the available time and Michael was a great customer. 

He wanted 20 cakes made in this design.  We went to work on it and it took the entirety of our shifts (Myself and my boss combined) to get the cakes shaped and decorated.  It was a difficult job and the final cost was approximately $800 so it was worth it. 

Until Next Time...

Stay Sweet,

Lil' Buddy
