I'm not complaining about the business, but...

Here lately, people have ordered things from me that I just don't like to do!

In the past 2 weeks, I took a decorated cookie order, and today booked a cupcake wedding. 3 dozen decorated electric guitar cookies (plus a lifesize Guitar Hero guitar cake, which was so much fun to do!), and now 120 cupcakes, each with a giant rose on top. *sigh*

So, do tell ~ what do YOU not like to do but occasionally get orders for?

i have fallen i love with cupcakes too! i always push the cupcake cakes because they are so much fun to make!!!

I could do cupcakes all day long!!! Even the roses!!! Next time we move, and i get started in my business again, i think i'll focus on mostly cupcakes!

I truly despise the character pans that you have to fill in with stars...so much so that I'll rarely even agree to do them.

Cupcakes are fun, but no way I'd want to do 120 in one batch!

Maybe I'm just really lazy!!

It depends on what character it is, who made the pan.....

And who you're doing it for...

Seriously though, what I'm actually talking about are the types of shaped cakes that you just fill in with stars. It doesn't have to be baked in a Wilton character pan.

I hate orders for cookies, I do not do them any more, time consuming and I dont have the patience for them.
I hate orders for white cake, vanilla butter cream and oh, can you put roses all over it? YUCK!
