: I tend to get this way in August when I experience one hot day after the other and you just want to sit in your chair with an ice tea and drift off.  My husband calls it "Cake-Itis".  Too many late nights in a row plus all the other things life throws your way.  It will pass.  Another thing I suffer through a couple times a year is a mental block about what design to put on a cake - then I wait till the last minute hoping a miricle will happen when stress and adrenalin kicks in.  So far so good but it too is a brain drain.
: Am I the only one who goes through this?
Been doing cakes for 35 yrs. The past 2 years, primarily only wedding cakes. I've been really busy. I have 22 weddings booked thru August. So this isn't new for me. But this whole week, I have been down on myself. It took me so long to accomplish this order for today. A 4 tier cake for 175 people. Usually I am organized & all goes along well. But this week, several things went wrong. I kept doubting I would get done. Tasks that I can do in my sleep, just seem to drag on. I feel like it takes me way too long to assemble the tiers, crumb coat, & frost. After all this time, I should be really fast. But I'm not. I also have been thinking what would happen if the cake gets dropped on the way to delivering it. I don't have a fake cake to substitute.
So, is this all normal? Am I just really, really tired? Do any of you ever have these questions? Thanks for letting me vent! Helen
