Maternity Leave

I can't believe that the time has come for me to put my baking on hold! With 1 1/2 months left until my due date, I have realized that I can no longer stand on my feet too long nor can I bake a cake that is up to my standards. So, until after my little guy is born, I am on "maternity leave".

Kelly still has 6 months to go until her baby comes, so she is still baking. Molly is also baking, too, so feel free to keep those orders coming!! Their time books up fast.... so make sure you secure your event's date early!!

I will continue to answer calls, take emails and update the blog. You can call 817.382.CAKE or for a quicker response, email loveatfirstbitebakery@yahoo.com for any inquiries that you have. Of course, we'll always answer facebook messages, too!

Thank you all for your continued support. These few months have been awesome!! I look forward to re-joining the baking world soon... but until then I am going to enjoy this special time with my family :)

Weddings, showers, birthday parties, and....potato guns?!

Kelly has been especially busy these last few weeks baking! She did all but one of the cakes in this post. The closer I get to delivery, the less and less I am able to stand on my feet to bake. I am very much looking forward to getting back on my feet and into the kitchen...especially because there have been some fantastic orders coming our way!

Here are some pictures of the cakes we have done lately:



The "potato gun" cake. The birthday boy (mine and Kelly's dad) has been having a blast building and playing with his potato gun. When Kelly asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday, he told her a potato gun cake.... so there you have it!


Fondant-covered wedding cake with detailed piping

A hat, some bees, and animal print cupcakes

Ya'll will have to excuse the last entry that you may have seen with my big preggo belly. I sure did post my 22 week belly picture on the bakery's blog instead of my family's blog. Gotta love pregnancy brain :)

Here are some fun things that came out of this weekend's baking:

We're making some changes

First of all, I want to thank all of Love at First Bite's fans and supporters. This has been an awesome couple of months and ya'll have kept me busier than I ever could have imagined possible. I am having so much fun and loving every second of it! The downside to this is that my body isn't loving it. As you all know, I am expecting. I have been saying "yes... yes... YES!" to each and every order than has come my way (because I love baking that much!) without giving consideration to everything that is going on inside of me. My body has decided to protest in the form of migraines and contractions. I am only 20 weeks along, so needless to say, contractions are not something I welcome at this point!!

I am still going to keep trucking along as long as I can, but this means I most likely won't be able to take on every order that comes my way. So that means book early!! I am completely booked through the 13th of June. There are still spots open after that and I have plenty of weekdays still open for your work events.

But, don't hesitate to e-mail me if you have an upcoming order. You never know when an order will be cancelled or if Kelly and/ or Molly have an opening to take on an order!!

Now on to the fun changes:

We are working on some new flavors!!! I have been testing out some new fun cupcake flavors and will soon be adding these specialty cupcakes to the "menu". Here is a sneak preview at some of the greatness that will be heading your way soon!!

Chocolate brownie
Carrot cake
Cookies and cream
Chocolate chip cookie dough
Peanut butter cup
Chocolate with cream filling
Lemon

Thanks again for all of your love and support!!!!
