Birthday cake

I thought I was pretty much done making cakes...but then I had grandkids. On Saturday Rob said, "I'm glad you came out of retirement, Mom".

Maci Jo turned 3 and who could resist?? Especially a Repunzel themed birthday!
So this is what I did.

I decided to do a checkerboard layer cake. This requires a batter seperating device like this. I have done this with aluminum foil, but I found this kit at a garage sale.

You can do this with with 2 layers and just one separation, but there were enough guests coming to the party that I wanted to have enough cake so I went 3 layers.

Happy Birthday Maci!! Grandma loves you!

TV Coverage

Today was a fun day at Mattress Warehouse! We got up at 4:30 this morning so we could be at the store at 5:30 to meet Casey Scott (the special stories guy) from channel 2 to set up for several segments on the early news.

Casey is known for being a little goofy/crazy/edgy in his morning spots, but that being said he also understood that he was there to highlight our business and managed to show off some key things we wanted him to advertise for us. As the day has gone on, we have already had customers come in just because they saw us this morning.

This is the link to the edited down clips of just our portion of the broadcast, it does not include some fun 5 second "teasers" that Casey did, but it's pretty fun. If you know our neighbors, you will see Savannah jumping on beds, she was tickled and did a great job helping Casey have fun!!
