And breathe...

It has been a tiring TT - rain showers meant delays, the rest days became contingency race days and there were quite a few days when I spent a lot more of the day at church than at home.

Thank you! And I think, over the whole 2weeks, I ate about 3 slices of cake and a cookie!

Wow what amazing statistics! I don't know how you managed to keep track of what you personally sold, but good on ya!

Sounds like an exciting event but a lot of work for everyone involved. Great job!

Thank you! I have a small white board in my kitchen - and so i keep a tally of all the cakes I take as I take them down to church. Then, as it is my job to portion all the cakes that come in, and decide on prices, I know that everything baked in a 2lb loaf tin gives 10 portions, the tray bakes usually give 16 slices, depending on tin size, and so on :)

I keep a similar tally at church for all the cake going out to the counter which is how we know around how much cake we have sold altogether.
