Company Name... the finals

Ok… I LOVE amount of responses… Ya’ll were such a good help.

I love love love the “Eat my shorts” It’s so creative and I think I’m going to have a section of baby/bridal/etc cakes just for that. It will be the “funky” section that I want to do for people more of my style. Sometimes black and pink is the way to go… or black with skulls… it just fits some personalities. Bright not traditional styles.

Here is what I plan on making, I love the idea of making a "cake" full of fun things for brides that aren't just towels. Things that stack well together. (Kama Sutra lotions and powders, gag gifts, etc) Thanks Trisha!

Order list
*Baby cakes (disposible and cloth)
*Bridal cakes (towels, and other items)
*Girls night and other misc.
*Graduation/Birthday cakes
*Holiday cakes (St. Patty's Day, Christmas, and others for different faiths)

Ok.. here is my company name ideas. Again, I can’t thank ya’ll enough!!!

Take the Cake
Cake without the bake
Just add sugar (optional: quote underneath ..and a bit of spice)
Frosting not included
Cotton Cakes ( I might use this under my section for cloth diaper cakes)
Fake Baker (I might use this as my title )

I would like to also have quotes on the page like: Calories not included- Just add Sugar (if not the title)- Frosting not included (if not the title)


Now… I’d love ya’ll to sit back, think about this and think which ones would appeal to ya’ll the most. If you were looking for something original for your friends/family/kids for a special occasion, which title looks funky, cool, entertaining to you!

Also, if ya’ll want to play word fumble and change the words around… let me know. I’m still open to all ideas!

*HUGS*

My Business.. Part II *Update*

Ok.. I got some great advice from Trisha and now, I'm rethinking things. I love the idea of making "ice cream cones", etc. My mind just went nuts. I have all the ideas... but I still need a name!

Diaper Treats? Sounds kinda gross doesn't it?
Sweet Diapers? Hmmmm.. a little better, not as... visual of a picture as the first one.
Snack Diapers? Bahahahaha.. that one was cool.

Ok.. Think funky? Yep.. this is me thinking out loud! Sorry ya'll get to be part of it, that's what you get for visiting my part of the mind. See.. Trisha has a cool name... Bambina Ballerina... coool.. hip... original... Now my turn....

I'm thinking... when it hits me, I'll let ya know!

*********************************UPDATE*******************************

CanCan came up with a good idea... Take the Cake Design.... It's different.. original...
I'm mulling it about in my mind... It's working... . slowly!!

Oh.. and I am naming one of the cakes after her husband's idea... "Eat my shorts!"... Fabulous!

********************************************************************************

Bummy Cakes... Cotton cakes? Cotton Bummy Cakes?

Cotton Tail cakes?..... Bahahahahah... that one struck me funny.
Hrmmmmm....... If I don't get this tonight.. I'll be up staring at my ceiling, in the dark....

Perhaps I should sleep on this!!

Diaper Creations.... Meh.....

****************************************************************************

What about... Diaper Chef? Sweet Diaper Chef? Not your normal Diaper chef.. too long....

Funky diaper chef (hahaha.. play on words.. funky diaper... Ok.. it's late.. I'm delirious.

*****************************************************************************
(After reading these, I realize they sound like real cake shops! I need dessert)

Baby Cake shop?...... Sweet Baby bakery?...... Modern baby cakes? GAH.. sounds like I'm cooking babies.. it's like Sweeney Todd... but much much sadder!

My new Business, I need oodles of help!!!!

Over the weekend I made a diaper cake for my G-bears baby shower.

It was a long process but I loved the planning, and the cake was my favorite part!
It took two hours, and it turned out amazing.

During the baby shower I got alot of people saying, "YOU made that? Really? You do it for a business?"
It was the first one I ever made. (I PROMISE to post pictures! When I finally get them)

After hearing that, and then having a swift kick in the butt (one that brought me to tears at work), I got the motivation I needed. ~Thanks for being that boot Trisha! I needed that nudge to get thing started.~

I finally got things underway. I got my PayPal account up, I am getting questions answered on what I need to do.

My Business:

Diaper Cakes (Disposable and cloth), Briday shower cakes (made from towels), Mom to be cakes (Towels, incences, etc)

Name of my business:

HELP!!!!

I can't think of a good name. I was thinking Tulle Cool Designs, Tulle Cool Boutique. (I thought it was a cute play on words sounding like "Too Cool Designs, etc"... However, what if people think it is TOOL Cool Designs? I don't want that....but I really like the name!

I need some help with an idea. I'd like something that portrays my personality. Hippy/Eco friendly/ Mom of many/ Creative/ Insane... You know.. ME ....

Any ideas?????

5th Annual MommyFest

Well.. five years in a row of having this MommyFest, I'm looking forward to meeting alot of great new moms! And on Mother's Day, what better day to have friends? Follow me there, come join in and see who you will fine like-minded as yourself?

Where to begin?

My name is Suzanne, however many people in my area call me Lilith.

I have six wonderful children, all whom I adore and all whom I want to strangle.. and this is daily. I am currently single, not even dating anyone, due to a hard breakup almost a year ago. I'm a bit tenative to put myself out there.

My best friend is my ex-husband, we were horrible married, and the closest of friend now. (Not my last breakup)

I have two doves whom I love, though they do tend to coo a bit too late at night and WAY too early in the morning.. which is why they now live out in the living room.

I was born and raised in Texas, however I am now living in Colorado. I love Colorado, I can't imagine living anywhere else. Though I do miss being home, and will probably be moving back in a short time. I miss my family and want my kids to know their extended family. I'll miss it here though.

I am an avid blogger, I don't write as often as I should, but I visit other blogs and talk around the blogosphere, I am always looking for like minded Moms.

I work outside of the home, though I want to start working inside soon. I need to find the courage to get my business started, my first goal is updating my blog site.. It's looking a bit shlumpy :)

I am a pagan, and have chosen to study Shamanism now. It's a wonderful path, and I've learned alot though, I am not as dedicated as I feel I should be. It's a touchy path that many people don't understand however, it is a choice that I feel closest to.

Well.. that is me, in a very small nutshell...

On the side bar I have pictures of my little one's, so I hope you go and look at those! I am very proud of my brood!

Warm Blessings,

Suzanne

This site is also doing a Mommy Fest Potluck.

So I wanted to enter one of my favorite recipes!

Pasta Salad

2 pkgs of multi colored rotini noodles

1 large pkg of sliced pepperoni

1 large pkg of sliced canadian bacon

1 can of sliced olives (only as much as you want in there)

1 Cucumber

1 pd bag of shredded mozzerella cheese

1 bottle of Italian Dressing

Cook the noodles as directed, wash them off in the sink until they are cooled.

Stir in the cheese until it looks like there is enough. Cut up the cucumber, pepperoni and canadian bacon into fours, and put them into the salad. Pour in the olives and then add the Italian dressing to taste. If you make this before hand, please make sure you add more Italian, the noodles will soak some of it up, and the tang of the dressing really makes this dish a winner!!

Five things about me:

1) I was adopted when I was 2.5 years old. Though I am the oldest, I was adopted second, but my brother was adopted at birth, therefore making him "older" in the family. Wierd.. I know.

2) I love having five girls and one boy. I am not sure how things would have been if I'd of had another boy

3) I only sleep about 5 hours a night, I blame my inability to turn off my computer after blogging :)

4) I only own two pairs of pants, I have been pregnant for the past two years and just wore those clothes.

5) I plan on having more children. Two to Four more.
