What's Up at Daisy Cakes!
Whew!!! This has been an awesome month, Busy but wonderful!! It all started with my wedding anniversary to my wonderful husband of 25 years! He is my biggest fan! Then on to speaking engagements and promoting my new cookbook. All the time supervising the new construction on our building.
First to the National Federation of Press Women in Greenville, SC, we had a blast. After that, straight to the airport and off to LA for a taping to air in late October. More about that later! (I'm so excited!) Straight back to Tampa, FL for another speaking engagement and book signing for the Working Women of Tampa Bay. Once again, I had so much fun. After all of that, it was on to Chicago for the Food Network in Concert! A highlight in my schedule, it was fabulous! I love my job!!
