When I first started out with this blog, the situation was that I had been made redundant and that while I was following my ultimate dream of setting up my own cake business, I was still looking for full time work. Well, a year since being made redundant, I am still looking for full time work. Today I got rejection emails from 2 jobs which I could-I'm not just bigging myself up-do with my eyes closed. I have GCSE's, A levels, a Honours degree and 14 years admin experience but obviously this is not enough. I know the job climate is not good at the moment, but how frustrated am I?
I have even been applying for retail work which again I can do, have had several interviews, but again no job offer which I suspect is due to me not having retail experience.
During this time I have also been working on DeniseBakesCakes (DBC) as this is ultimately what I want to do. I guess with having no luck in finding full time work, the cosmos is saying that this is my destiny and DBC is all I will need.
I have set up a taste testing panel and I'm baking cakes etc at the moment. Very excited about it!! Pictures will be this week.

I'm Back
Wow
So its been it good while since I last blogged.
Things are a changing. I have put a hold on doing my cake stall, because a) The fayre I was doing was not very well attended and so I would come home with cake upon cake upon cake and b) I am gearing up for my officially launch which is going to be in September/October time.
I putting together my menu of cakes, I have set up a tasting panel for people to, well, taste my cakes and rate them.
In between, I will still be making cakes and posting them here, there just won't be lots and lots of them...
On Saturday (28th May) I went to an engagement party. Naturally, I took cake. I made my mega sized super moist carrot cake with cream cheese icing and some sugarpaste flower. It was very much appreciated.
