Another new beginning at Freed's

Well, here we are, Freed's Bakery's first attempt at blogging. Let's hope we can all manage here in the 21st century and keep all of those interested in Freed's sitting on the edge of their seats, waiting for updates on their favorite place to get cakes, cookies, desserts and more. Now that we've moved into a fabulous new location at Eastern and Richmar, and we've started using computers more and more to do business, it seems only natural that we should get into this cool new technology and keep you in touch with what we're doing and what we're thinking regarding the bakery biz here in 2008. We're glad to be taking you along for this wild ride!

PHONES EMAIL PHONES EMAIL PHONES EMAIL

My gosh... this has been the week for phones and email. I guess the quiet start of the year is a thing of the past. I must have taken about 20 orders yesterday just by myself. Our email is keeping two of us busy these days. It sure feels great to be able to give such great service. My husband Curt has learned how to do the price quotes and has helped me tremendously this past week with doing the email. He was so proud...he took his first cake order.

We are looking forward to a couple of record days. The first is 06/07/08 and the second is 08/08/08. Last year on 07/07/07 we did 240 wedding cakes in a 24-hour period. I believe we will be seeing some pretty strong numbers for 08/08/08 also. Having had the previous year for experience we are better off to be able to gear the work for this year's big days. Get those cake orders in soon for 06/07/08 and 08/08/08. Not only the cake orders but any reservations, whether it is for the chapel, dinner or flowers. Don't be disappointed by waiting too long to make a reservation or order.
