Graduation Weekend at the Bakery

May 25, 2016

These are a few moments from what we call “Graduation Weekend” AKA The weekend you have no life outside of work and will collapse on your couch with a BOTTLE of wine watching your feet swell into the size of watermelons weekend.

We started off with the prep work...

Lemon curd and cream cheese
30 pounds of Cream cheese getting ready to be turned into 20 Gallons worth of icing. 2 gallons of Lemon Curd (We actually burned through this in about 3 days and had to make MORE!!)
Layers upon layers of cake cooling in our fridge
Our poor refrigerator jam packed with cake layers. We ended up doing 63 layered cakes this weekend. ( What you see was only half!)
A nursing themed cake for Skylar's graduation
This is a 2 tiered Nurse cake for Skylar. Everything was hand made by the Aspen queen… and yes it’s ALL edible!
A criminal justice themed cake for graduation
There were for a large graduation party that was just amazing. We did a 2 tiered cake to look like stacked books with the graduate earning her degree in Criminal Justice.
Edible diplomas!
They had an assortment of cupcakes with hand made toppers of Diplomas and Caps along with custom sugar cookies to match.

Emily's feet covered in flour!
Yes those are my feet. My chef instructor in culinary school always said you can tell a baker walking down the street as they always have flour on their shoes. That’s totally me – All the time.
Champagne and donuts
We don’t always eat donuts but when we do – We drink champagne too. ( Which we drink every Saturday – Because it’s Saturday.)

Geeze what a crazy weekend! Thanks to everyone who included us in their celebration!
