Countdown to Valentine's Day!

When you are in the sweets business, you tend to be more aware of goodie-giving holidays like Valentine's Day. I ask myself, is it really that important to receive a little something special from someone you love on that big red heart day? It would be ideal if we just let people know we love them every day. But seriously folks, you know we are human, and we are going to miss a few. I say that Valentine's Day is "Make-up Day". For all the times you miss the opportunity to say "I care..." send an extra special goodie package on V-day to keep things even. I am not that terribly sentimental myself, but I must admit I do wait with anticipation to see if I will receive a special delivery with lots of red and pink hearts on it. Silly, I know. But, when I do... it always makes me smile - and sometimes it even makes me cry.

Do you know about www.FindaBaker.com?

Dottie is now blogging about Corporate Cake Events at http://www.cakeevents.blogspot.com/ so I save my blogging for interesting new ideas we have at Cakes Across America. The one thing I want to be sure to share is our newest addition to the Cakes Across America Bakery Network family. We recently launched http://www.findabaker.com/. We know budgets are tight. So we thought it would help if we offer online profiles of fabulous bakers all across the US. Now, it's almost as easy to choose a baker and place your order for yourself. This is a great option when you don't need delivery or if you just want a specialty baked goodie just for yourself in your own hometown. With FindaBaker.com you can find and review your local bakeries, see photos and check out their products, and call the bakery to place your order. We hope you will enjoy the benefits of FindaBaker.com as much as you enjoy the convenience of Cakes Across America.

Wow - It's November! Have you ordered your Holiday Gift Cakes?

I am amazed how quickly time flies when you are busy with business. If you haven't placed your corporate holiday orders, you better get crackin'! For other celebrations... bakers get extremely busy around the holidays. A few extra days notice on your orders even for birthdays and anniversaries would be most appreciated.

Corporate Planning for Fall Cake Kick Off Meetings

Hard to imagine planning for fall inspirations during this beautiful spring weather, but someone has got to do it. As corporate planners look ahead for great ways to re-motivate their teams after a long hot summer of cookouts, movies, and vacations with the kids, the Cakes Across America team is keeping busy keeping it simple. Just in case the planners have a little spring fever too, we make it easy to plan a nationwide event with one phone call and a list of addresses. We do the rest, so our customers can rest easy and rest assured their fall kick off event will be a piece of cake.

I am usually pretty reserved when it comes to self promotion, but a service, like Cakes Across America, whose mission is to keep people connected, happy and celebrating all of life's wonderful events is fun to share. I hope you enjoy our heart-warming cake delivery stories, touching testimonials, and sometimes hilarious behind the scenes events.
