Long time no post! I know, I know... we used to be so good at posting on a very regular basis. We have been so incredibly busy, that we have difficulty finding the time to get on here! Which, of course, is fantastic. The wedding season is fully upon us, so I will be in the zone, decorating away... In the meantime, we are having a brand new website designed for us, which we are sure you will love!!!
Yesterday's incredibly ridiculous heat (40 degrees Celsius? What?!) has reminded us that we would like to share with everyone the proper cake purchasing practices. When you order a birthday cake from us, please ensure that you have a reliable mode of transportation; one that is preferably air conditioned, and certainly one that has at least 4 large tires. For example... please do not strap it to the back of your bicycle. Once the cake has left the bakery, we cannot be held responsible for what happens. If it's raining, please bring a bag along - we do not distribute plastic bags, so it would be a great idea to bring along your reusable shopping bag to make sure the box doesn't soak through!
Also, cakes are almost always heavier than you'd imagine. Walking 6 blocks away with a 12" cake is much more difficult than it seems. So please, not only for your own sanity, but for ours as well, please arrange for a ride - save up your pennies for a taxi - hang out with us at the shop until the bus is due to show up! Don't leave the cake in your car. Get it home, and get it into your fridge within 20-30 minutes of pickup; especially on these ridiculously hot days. Humidity is a cake's mortal enemy.
So just to re-iterate; practice safe cakes and please organize sensibly to be picked up or to get a ride home once you have picked up the cake. We love you and we love our treats, and we want you to enjoy them to their fullest!
On a less preach-y note, this weekend you'll find us out at Idle Hands Spring into Summer Craft Sale! We were at the last Idle Hands Craft Sale in late 2010, and it was so fantastic. There are a ton of different vendors, and you will find some amazingly unique wares that you wouldn't have known about otherwise! So make sure you stop in to St Luke's Anglican Church at 760 Somerset St W on Saturday between 10am and 5pm, and say hi! We will be there with all kinds of treats for ya.
Then!! The week after THAT, we will be at Ottawa Explosion!! From June 16th-18th, some of Ottawa's most bestest bands will be playing in a variety of venues and locations; the best part about this event is trying to work out your schedule of what shows you want to go to, and how long it will take to get from A to B so you don't miss C, etc... It's always an awesome weekend of great music, great friends, and great treats! Yes - that's right - we will be there again this year with some deliciousness for you to snack on while checking out The White Wires (clearly) or whoever else you fancy! Head on over to http://www.ottawaexplosion.com for more details.
That's it from me for now... don't forget, if you are on Twitter, follow us @Auntie_Loo and @AuntieLoo_Weds to keep up-to-date with all the goings-on of our very busy bakery! You can also find us on Facebook, where we often put up extra pictures of what we're up to. Make sure to head over there if you'd like to see some of our most recent wedding cakes. (Yes, I will get back on to updating our Weddings site ASAP... don't look at me like that!! Man, I have such guilt...)As I mentioned before, we are working hard on a brand new website ... it's looking so cool right now... my lips are sealed!
Have an absolutely wonderful weekend, and come by sometime soon to check out our new window signs!
See ya soon,
xoxo
Miss Kate
