Adventures of the Wu girls at Cakes by Happy Eatery

Welcome to our inaugural blog!  We thought it would be fun to share some of our fascinating adventures we go through at our two bakeries.  Our original bakery was started by our parents in 1984, almost 27 years ago!  We have since expanded, and want to introduce ourselves.

Victoria, also known as “the BIG sister”, can usually be found at our Manassas location.  Emily, also known as “the little sister”, can usually be found at our Centreville location.  Victoria loves to get BIG ideas, then send them off to Emily to finalize.  We make a great team, but at times, Mom has to step in!

For one of our latest adventures, we would like to tell you about our cake for a huge baseball fan and member of the Nationals organization.  This cake was a gift from a friend and she wanted to highlight his love of the Nationals.  Victoria started brainstorming and came up with a baseball jersey, some baseballs and baseball diamond, all to be done with the Nationals logo and colors.  Emily added in a baseball cap and baseball bats to add a little more fun.  Each tier was made out of 100% cake, with only a few supports holding up each tier on the day of the event.  Making the cake was fun, but not the best part……

The birthday boy’s 50^th birthday party was held at Thurgood Marshall Academy Public Charter High School in Washington, DC.  This was on Saturday, February 19, the evening in which we had extremely high winds.  Once we arrived at the school, we found out that the electricity went out due to the winds.  We figured, no problem – that is until we found out the party was down one hall, turn down the next hall, and up three flights of stairs!  If any of you know Victoria, you know she doesn’t leave home without her 3” heels, and this cake was over 70 pounds.  After a few pauses, and a lot of huffing, we finally made it to the table.

Join us for more fun and adventures every Tuesday morning.  Visit our website at www.CakesbyHappyEatery.com for more information about our cakes and thanks for visiting our blog!
