Jeannette's Custom Cakes

It’s obvious that none of us would be here without our mothers. Their work often goes unnoticed or expected, they never complain or judge and yet still they have to put up with the most.

In light of that I’m going to take a second to talk about my mom. I really don’t even know what to put. She is nothing short of amazing. It doesn’t matter what I do, or attempt to do, she is always proud and more than happy to support me. How did I get so lucky to have someone watch out for me like this. I’m very blessed. Ever since I first started this crazy idea to not go back to work and start a business in the Sault, she has done nothing but have my back. Here’s a picture of mom and I when I first started.

To look at this picture now, it seems SO long ago, and she was as proud as ever.

Not only am I blessed with one mom. I’m lucky enough to have 3! Everything I said about my mom can be said the exact same for my stepmother Mare and my Mother-In-Law Arlene. Mare is my wrapping goddess…all my wrapping is thanks to her, it’s her thing and she loves it. She is also one of my best forms of advertising, the woman is a machine!!

Arlene is constantly making sure I have enough baking ingredients to feed a small army. Thank god, because when a fast cake order comes out of no where, she is there to step in and help out.

I’m a lucky girl. I know it. Not only that but I am so grateful for people in my life to support this ever growing business of mine. I know that it’s not something I can do alone and wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for all three of them.

On that note I am having a Mother’s Day special on cookies. A dozen vanilla sugar cookies decorated for your mom, or that special mother figure in your life. The cookies will come in a basket wrapped up and ready to give to them. Shapes include, circles, hearts, flowers, tulips etc. All baskets are $35. Get your orders in soon so you don’t miss out on something special for your mom!

To all my friends that are new mothers or mothers already…Happy Mother’s Day.

Well, it’s come and gone, for most of us at least. I hope everyone had their fair amount of chocolate and time with their families. It was great to see mine, and to have a much needed break from the kitchen today. I’m going to take a minute to thank everyone who participated in the Easter Cookie promo. I think they turned out wonderful, and they were perfect for little Easter gifts. Here are few samples..

I love those little chicks!!

More new photos have been added to the gallery, so be sure to take a peek.

Just a note to all a few weeks in advance, I’m going on holidays from April 18-28th, so any orders for summer should be coming in soon. Thanks everyone!  Have a great week!

I’ve had a few requests for Valentine’s Day cookies. Here are few samples that Jes & Curt O’Neil were more than happy to take off my hands.

Here is what the cookies look like before they are decorated:

And after:

So for any orders for Valentine’s Day, I’m offering a dozen of these cookies (medium and small) for $25. The orders need to be placed before Febuary 11th. These ones are my favourite. Enjoy!
