Dazz: Actually most cakes that are store-bought are baked a few days in advance. A typical schedule could go like this.
Say you need the cake on Saturday. The cake is first baked and frozen on Monday. The cake is removed from the freezer and thawed overnight on Wednesday. On Thursday, the cake is sliced (in the middle) and filled with the filling of choice. On Thursday night, we coat the cake with a thin layer of icing known as crumb coating and then chill the whole cake. On Friday, the cake is iced with another thicker layer of icing and then decorated with piped flowers etc before the cake is served on Saturday.
It is possible that some vendors bake their cakes the day before and decorate them the day of the function but I think that is only workable for smaller quantities. My class teacher was reminding me to bake the cup cakes at least 2 or 3 days before I need them and then chill them before I decorate them. But because the cakes are for self-consumption, I won't bake them more than 2 days before the function.

Are you feeling better? I have taken antibiotics 3 times for breast infection. Supply doesn't drop cos of the antibiotics. It drops for the side with the infection because the infection makes it difficult to express. No prob with supply if I latch. Another thing, if the antibiotics has no effect by day 2 then it might be a case of needing another type of antibiotic. The antibiotic first prescribed to me had no effect. PM me if you need the meds names/doctor.
Just because we have been bfg for so long doesn't mean we won't be susceptible to infection. Lack of rest / low immunity / being bitten by our darling bb could lead to infection.

morning ladies [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
kena woken up by my boobs at 610am. even though i went to sleep only near midnight after pumping, washing and sterilising. the good thing is i m going home tmr evening.... *yawn* ate mac's dinner w my team at 9pm, worked till 10+pm in office, back to hotel to crash.
but cannot crash yet, bcz got to pump.
nvm nvm. mummies will do anything for our children, tis just a matter of how tired we are after all that. literally pengsan fm exhaustion.
kite,
hope your infection has gone away after taking the antiobiotics. did you take them in the end? agree w syz that lack of rest / low immunity would be a contributing factor.
sgsc,
[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] you know just the right thing to say to make me feel better. awwwww.
Mr C reports that the boys are both behaving well in my absence. w C1, guess it also helps that we reinstated some of his Elmo DVD watching privileges after making a big fuss out of smthing he did well on Sun. sigh. this mummy has to be the bridge between the son and daddy.

Morning all.
I just checked the weather in Tokyo and it's a ridiculous 1 to 9 degrees celsius at the moment! Gulp. I don't do well when it's too cold. Am hoping that by some miracle the temperature would have increased to the mid 10s by the time we are there next week. Any mummies need anything from Japan, can pm me. Small items I should be able to help bring back.
