And if there's one thing you don't want in your pizza, it's any remnants of lead. Then again, you don't want regular pizza served up by crazy folk, either. The establishment has since changed hands.

I enrolled because—well, I needed money and nurses make good money. I figured it would pay off. Wrong! I hated nursing school and the only thing that got paid off (just this year) were my student loans. I dropped out after spending thousands on tuition and books and spent two years taking prerequisites for the nursing program. I even pulled off a 4.0 in order to get into the program.

I did some cakes in wedding season, maybe 10-20 per year but the biggest frustration was brides asking for seriously stuuupid sh&t! Let me say... THERE ARE NO SUCH THING AS BLUE ROSES!!! Grrr. "umm, could you make us two dragons sitting on a motorcycle but integrate your beautiful flowers around us, so we look like we're in the garden of Eden??" Even worse, they then wanted this masterpiece for the same price that a grocery store sold their cakes for!! I mean what makes a bridal couple think that they can get the same cake as Mariah Carey with 12 tiers and hand made realistic flowers cascading down it for $400?<br />Grrr again. I'm actually really glad that cupcakes finally put the nail in the coffin of the business. One just cannot put a hand made flower on 250 cupcakes and NOT have it cost $5000, lol.<br />Thanks for stopping by, you're right about contests. I was pretty sure they wouldn't pick well, all I had to do was look at the 3 past winners.. Yeesh!<br />Best,<br />Jenn<br />PS. a couple of my cakes are pictured in the first few posts I ever wrote, if you wanted to see. lol.Jennifer McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05684514236592711220noreply@blogger.com
