Stormie had a book bound for me for Christmas with pictures of cakes I have made in 2007. She just uploaded the pictures and made up some script and voila-I have a published volume, looking ever so official, with a UPC code and everything. It was such a cool gift. She also made me an "official" sign to hang in the car window when transporting cakes so that cars passing by won't flip me off for going slow: CAKE ON BOARD.
It is amazing. It really is. If you are driving carefully so the cake won't spill and people don't know your reason – they are mean, grouchy passers. But if you have a Cake-on-Board sign, I've discovered, they go by with a big smile and a thumbs-up. So – anyway, my sweet Stormie put together those thoughts in honor of all the cakes (see here and here, or just do a search of "cakes" on this site) I have been making.
So, my sons-in-law and other kids got to joking around on Christmas morning as they were all telling me I should go into business making cakes and off they went on a secret mission. A few minutes later I was called to the computer where they had quickly put together a website called "JeanieCakes." You can even see it here: www.jeaniecakes.com
Crazy kids! Crazy, sweet, wonderful, honoring kids!
Guess I should put together a business plan?…Jeanie

:) Dave should get some credit for the icing. J/K That's absolutely awesome!
…just a thought, but…..do you even have a driver's license?
Great Book! It looks so professional. Well done Stormie! Cant wait to see the next addition.
What a wonderful gift. We all agree that you should should do this as a profession. You are such a talented lady.
You have such an amazing, thoughtful family. You are so blessed.
It's true. Amazing, sweet, and thoughtful… taught all of those years by amazing, sweet, and thoughtful you. Truly you reap what you sow. What a wonderful gift… all the way around.
