She had a BLAST. Carrie was very, very excited to get the opportunity to go to California and be on TLC and be a part of their Ultimate Cake off  Show.

I have never in my life known a more humble person than Carrie! I on the other hand am NOT so humble. I WISH she WON, I think Carrie and her team did a fantastic job.  I was so proud of her and the EXTREEM talent that they all put forth. If you could have seen the brainstorming that went on, it was awesome to see them craming to come up with the coolest cake ideas possible.AND what a fun theme they got too, “Patriotic“ who isn’t a patriotic person?!?

 WOW we just ran with it. When coming up with the idea for the design of the cake Carrie decided to put all of the most important Patriotic elements together that she could think of. From Flags, Eagles and The Constitution to Popcorn and Hotdogs!

I thought I’d share a couple of the photos that show how much stuff we had to pack to take with, it was CRAZY! BUT… For some reason I can’t load any photos right now…SO you have to WAIT! HA HA… Pictures of Carrie’s trip will be up as soon as I can get them.

 BROOKE :0)

There has been a lot of CRAZINESS and CHAOS going on around Carrie’s Cakes the past couple of month. We have been completely slammed with cakes from Mini cakes to  MASSIVE 6 tier cakes… cupcakes and Wimsey cakes! I think we have CAKE coming out of our ears!

Our phones have been ringing off the hook and sometimes we just have to sit back take a deep breath and start all over again. This year seems like it has been just insane… OH WAIT!!! That’s because it has been! Here’s why… not only does everybody out there know that CARRIE’S CAKES ROCKS…. But now the Discovery/TLC People have heard about Carrie’s Cakes and invited Carrie herself to participate in -

a Prime-Time Food Fight on tlc’s “ULTIMATE CAKE OFF”

Carrie will appear on the new TLC competition series ULTIMATE CAKE OFF in an episode airing September, 28th, 2009 at 10 PM ET/PT.

In the episode, Carrie will face off against two other contestants in a challenge to create an edible masterpiece in hopes of winning $10,000 and to have their cakes featured at a marquee event. With only nine hours, the competitors must make cakes that are at least five feet tall and are creative enough to win the taste of the client and the ultimate prize. In this episode, the cake is in competition to be featured at Reagan Library and Museum.

There were days of prepping and brain-storming and nights of absolutely NOsleep but we’re still here.  Thank you, thank you to our friends Susan Fox, Shalena Fox and Julie Andrus  the DREAM TEAM that helped Carrie through this CRAZY and EXCITING time…  a team of friends that are now like our family. 

We are soooo excited, you absolutely have to watch the show it will be airing Mondays.  With a sneak peak on August 3rd. See you then!

What a treat it was to have our former students come back for a new class! It was so great to get to see some of them and hear how well they are doing since the Fondant Made Easy Classes that they took.And even better we had several new students join us and we had a BLAST getting to know them! We had so much fun getting to know everyone and hear their stories about their “DISASTER CAKES” or their “BEST CAKE EVER” stories… Not only are the classes that I do informative but I like to keep them light hearted so we can get to know each other and become GREAT friends!I can honestly say though, these girls have great talent and I foresee them going very far… Congrats girls it was great having you join us..!

Lindsay Melanson ofBountiful, Utah In my Topsey Turvey courses I like to have the girls find a photo of a cake that they would like to turn into a Topsey Turvey cake, Lindsay chose our Cinderella. Challenge!

Kim Fluhrer of Woods Cross, Utah. Kim chose a sweet little cake to gain her creativity from! Cutest little cake ever… Good job Kim, we heard you have had some luck already!

Julie Turner of Spanish Fork, Utah. Julie joined us at the last minute and we were so glad! She came with some fantastic questions and blew us away with how cute her cake turned out.

Kariann Rugg of West Valley City, Utah. Kariann chose to do a marbling technique on her cake and it turned out spectacular. The choc and pink really complimented each other!

Schanelle Ward of Payson, Utah. Schanelle is another of our students that came to our Fondant Made Easy class earlier in the year. She has a wonderful talent and we can see her becoming a great cake designer!

Betty Jo Privett of Boise, Idaho. Betty Jo decided to do a bright and colorful cake that turned out so fun It was GREAT to see her creativity at work. Good job Betty Jo.

Shirley Nault of Draper, Utah. Shirley is a new student for us and it was fantastic to see her motivated to create such fun cakes! Good job Shirley!

I have to send huge thanks to Liz Pace for taking these photos with her camera!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Here’s the problem you were behind the camera so I don’t have a picture of you, if you would like to send us one I would love to include you with our students!!!

I hope you gals had as much fun as we did.. It was wonderful getting to know each and everyone of you and we truly hope you keep in touch!

On a side note about our class held on January 12th &13th… We didn’t get any pictures, not one at all… We were so interested in teaching and learning that the thought of getting photos didn’t cross our minds until it was too late… If any of my awesome student’s from that class read this and would like to send me photos of them and their cake I would love to post you on our blog…

As we stated above keep in touch!

Unfortunately there has been a misprint in a magazine that stated that Carrie has passed away. I am here to tell you Carrie is alive and well! We aregiggling at the situation, and trying to be light hearted about it.

Tolet you know what happened, the message was put in the magazine wrong it was supposed to say that they were sorry for Carrie’s husbands passing, yes he did pass away in Nov. (a post will be coming abouthim)and they printed it as Carrie’s passing…

If there are fans out there that have heard this news just know that it is not true and just a misprint. Thank you to all of you whohave been sending cards and calling with words of love! Carrie truly knows how much she is loved! We have the best fans and friends!

I love to get emails telling me how much our customers loved working with Carrie’s Cakes.

So, about a year ago we joined up with a web-site called www.weddingwire.com this is where a bride can go on and put all of the vendors that she hadused and rate them on a scale of 1 to 5. We have had quite a few brides rate us on there and the consensus is always great rating… I LOVE IT. Feed back from our clients is great, if there is something you loved let us know, if there is something you didn’t love LET US KNOW so we can work on it!

Well anyway because of our high ratings from our valued brides we won an award from wedding wire!Sweet! Thanks girls!

We have been aproached by Kaycee Stroh (from: High School Musical)and asked to do her wedding cake! We are really excited to dothis for her! It ’s always a great ego boost to have someone famous come to you! Awesome, RIGHT??!!

We found an article where she mentions us so I thought I would put up the link. Here it is-
