Teacake Factory

Thank you to all of the supporters, friends, staff, and customers of the business, fans of our tea cakes and custom cakes over the years. Teacake Factory has enjoyed being a part of your life and celebrations. After much consideration since Jan, we have made the decision to permanently close our business. - Sincerely, Sumana, Prasad, Marla

On this dark rainy thundering day, we want to cheer you up! As many of you may have noticed, since Jan we have temporarily been closed. The owners are experiencing an illness in the family and the priority is to take care of that. Thanks for all of your calls and emails about your cookie cravings! With love, the Teacake Factory fam!

‎From Wikapedia...
Patricia Bays Haroski registered "National Boss' Day" with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1958. She was working as a secretary for State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois, at the time and chose October 16, which was her father's birthday. She was working for her father at the time. The purpose of designating a special day in the workplace is to show the appreciation for her bosses she thought they deserved. This was also a strategy to attempt to improve intra-office relationships between managers and their employees. Haroski believed that young employees sometimes did not understand the hard work and dedication that their supervisors put into their work and the challenges they faced.Four years later, in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner‎ backed Haroski's registration and officially proclaimed the day.

Manager's Log - Teacake March 3rd...

We are having lots of birthday parties at the Teacake Factory these days. Last week Carson celebrated his 12th birthday with us. 10 little boys started the festivities next door at the Escape Room and then came to us for cake and presents. Carson had very specific ideas for his cake, it needed to look like his invitation and he wanted a big black key made out of fondant. We were happy to make him happy! (He is such a grown up 12 year old it made me think of a quote by Abraham Lincoln, "The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that there's someone wanting to stop him")

Career Day at Local Scool

Today we were part of Career Day at Quail Valley Middle School. Four hundred 8th graders dressed in Career Day Business Attire stopped by our table to try out cake decorating. School allowed only those dressed for Career Day into the fair, if not they had to sit out in cafeteria. We were very impressed. We heard lots of 'yes ma'am' and 'ladies first' and 'thank you very much'. Again, very impressed.
We had as much fun as the kids and our table was rumored to be the most popular. The second most popular table was that of a veterinarian who brought a live snake. (That we beat out a live snakes speaks volumes!).

A Picture is Worth, well see it for yourself...
