have cake, will travel...or maybe not!

Went on my first cake traveling adventure this weekend and it was crazy! I literally baked all day Friday, and I'm OLD now so felt like I might die at the end of the night. Then after like five hours of sleep, drove my happy ass to Abq to rush (and stress!) to try to get all the frosting's made and the cake's decorated...um yeah! I was almost in tears the whole time! The rest of the night was a fine balance between exhaustion, drinking, more frosting, and trying to see friends. I went on to get an HOUR of sleep, then drove my not so happy ass to Santa Fe, then finally and forever later came home. Overall, the trip was a success, everyone seemed to love their orders, I got paid (even got a tip), had a blast seeing everyone (even if it was way to rushed) and even got to stock up on wine at Trader Joe's....I did have some epic cupcake failures! My first batch failed miserably and took away two of my precious hours of baking, then my last batch was an attempt at German Chocolate and it failed bad (TWICE), then on my last delivery TWO cupcake boxes overturned and took at two dozen cupcakes and my Kitchen Aid mixer bowl BROKE!
All I can say is I'm exhausted but am so glad I did this, some of my prettiest cupcakes came out of this trip and it was definitely a learning experience!!!
