Good News!!! My case is nearly closed.

Being a woman in business, I know how hard your road was to start up and maintain. Having to give it up is even harder. But, you had the guts to try.

You have my admiration for how you worked through your problems. There is no doubt in my mind that you will "rise" again. Forgive the pun, lol.

Best of wishes in your future.

I loved that one. "RISE", that made my day. Thank you.

Good news

Yes. I owned a small commercial bakery and absolutely LOVED baking and decorating wedding cakes. I'm self taught and could reproduce just about any cake from a picture. I sometimes charged as much as $400-600 for a single wedding cake (like Martha Stewart, etc.), and some of my old customers still want me to do it from home, but it takes a lot to get back into the swing of things when I've been burned so bad by my ex. Dealing with him and disappointing my customers by closing left a bad taste in my mouth, but at least I still have the means to do it if I choose to.

Hi SB,
I worked in a bakery for 17 years, did lots of cakes and some wedding cakes too (not the martha stewart type...), but anyway, LOVED IT!!!!
Decorating is in you....you'll return to it someday....

Good Luck!

Congradulations On Getting Discharged.......

Yeah! I love cakes! I taught myself how to decorate cakes, too when I worked in a bakery. The funnest job I ever had.

I'm happy for you, Belle, it's good to see things going well for you. I'm glad you can keep your mixer, too.

Were you in the baking business? Cakes?

Congrats Belle on the good news!

Congrats your one step closer to it all being over

It's a used Hobart 20 quart commercial sized mixer that sits on a stainless steel stand. I think the reason why I love it so much is because I've had it since I started my business and at one point, it was my only commercial piece of equipment until I started to slowly expand. It's very old, but still works great and I just want the option to be able to make a tiny bit of extra money on the side doing something I like because I really do enjoy it.

Oh, that is AWESOME!!!! How wonderful!!!

But actually, you know what's funny? My second thought -- right after, "AWESOME!!!" was, "I wonder if she gets to keep that stand mixer she loves...?"

I hope so! Here's to a quick close and smooth sailing from here on out!!!

I'm so excited that I DO get to keep the mixer I love. I guess it's sentimental value, but I love that thing and I hope to eventually get back into baking a little bit at a time because I really do miss it.

This has really been a journey, but a lesson well learned.
