How a Cake is Born

 Hello World!
   
Cakes and sweet yummyness is what we do here and I thought it would be interesting to show how much work goes into one of our products. What better way to do this than in pictures, since they say more than thousand words...

Guru Daniel

    The first stage is when our chief cake Guru gets a call with a brief on a cake. Then, Vicenzo and Anna's magic and creativity enter into action to create the most crazy customer request to offer them the most amazing and unique cakes... for their love ones.

    Once Guru Daniel has spoken with Vincenzo and explained the customer requirements, the work begins on the product. This cake will be for a Liverpool Fan! A football pitch no less and a player? Of course, how you can forget him if he is the most essential part of it, or not??

The Grass is made err I mean grown don't I? and watered by Vicenzo to get a perfect field.

Then, the football ball is designed, uffs I mean inflated, until it gets the perfect shape to insert the Liverpool image, which is the most important part of the cake for the birthday guy!!!  

Our good-looking player is receiving his last massage to prepare him to the game... or be devoured at the birthday party? ...poor player

 

Our dear Vicenzo is adding extra support to our field, as a result, we can have a field strong enough to resist earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, especially naughty kids...

Of course, we cannot forget the sponsors names in the field...a field without sponsors won't be interesting and colorful :)

How we can forget our birthday guy's name and age, as well as happy birthday wishes.

It is more complicated than it looks, it needs a lot of creativity and hard work but our bakers Anna and Vicenzo love their job, but the most important thing they love is people enjoying their cakes... which are delicious... well more than delicious I do not have words to describe them.  

Too much work to eat it in just five minutes... well pictures and memories last forever. These are good reasons to spend a bunch of time designing cakes... of course, and the satisfaction with your job!!

The New Intern: Cakes' Predator

Hello cakes’ lovers and followers my name is Maria but my friends called me Betty. I am the new intern at Family Cakes Company and I am from Mexico but move to Wisconsin, the state with the most beautiful weather in the US.

 

I go to St. Norbert College in Wisconsin and study Global Business and Economics. I came to study in London as a “required” for my program…good excuse, is it not? I already have 2 months living in London and I love it. If I would be rich, I would love to live here for the rest of my life.

I feel that I will love my internship because I love the smell of the place and the people who work here look to be very cool. Also, I am a cakes’ lover and hopefully I can get some free cakes, but not too many because instead of climbing the stairs, I will round as a beach ball. I could eat a whole cake by myself and I consider myself as a cakes’ predator. Eating free cakes is not my only expectation, I also expect to learn transferable skills that I can use for my future career and get a better understand of the operation and management of business in London, with the help of my boss Daniel.

 

 

 

Valentines Day, thats for people who like each other isnt it??

It's that time of year again, the day of love will soon be upon us: what will you be doing for the one you love???
Here at the FCC we have been whipping up love by barrel full, so much so that poor old Vincenzo doesn't know which way to turn. Last week while preparing a Zumba Bum cake; yes that is correct  a Zumba Bum; he was all a jitter......

Yup I know...well he is a good chef!

Anna on the other hand has been making Marzipan hearts to her well heart's content!. As usual she is refusing to be photographed but I have a cunning plan which will put an end to this!

Anna...well her trainers!!

Yes that is correct whenever I want a picture of Anna I will take a pikkie of her footwear so much more photogenic and in this case very Valentininy! That word by the way does exist in my vocabulary!

As for Valentine's day I will be romancing my new bride,  whispering sweet nothings in her ear and hoping that she believes me...Well we do like each other after all....

I am the good looking one....She is very lucky to have me...

                                               Happy Valentine's Day everybody.......
