Cami’s Cakes reopens without morning coffee; Eudora chamber’s annual banquet approaches; Baldwin City Senior Mix discontinued
Cami San Romani was back in the kitchen of Cami’s Cakes at 800 Main St. in Eudora this last week preparing for a busy start of the new year.
San Romani took more than a month away from the business when she gave birth to her third child. She returned last week, rededicating herself to the roots of her business: making wedding cakes and catering. Her shop will no longer be open for morning coffee and sweets.
“We gave it two years, but we just didn’t get the traffic,” she said.
San Romani jumped back into baking at a busy time. New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are popular dates for weddings, and she was working on four orders this past week. That will continue to be the focus of her business, but she said she would still make time for Eudora residents eager to sample other products.
“We’ll be open once a month with cookies, pastries and other goodies,” she said. “It will usually be on a Friday or Saturday and around holidays. We’ll be open before Valentine’s Day.”
Those wanting to order cakes can call San Romani at 785-207-2103.
The Eudora Chamber of Commerce is early out of the box with its annual awards banquet scheduled for 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14, at BlueJacket Crossing Vineyard and Winery, 1969 N 1250 Road. Required registrations can be made through the chamber’s website, eudorakschamber.com. The price per plate is $30.
The chamber is looking for items for the silent auction at the banquet. Money raised will fund a scholarship for a Eudora High School student.
The Baldwin City Senior Mix will no longer treat community seniors to a once-a-month gathering at Ives Chapel United Methodist Church. The group’s monthly meetings featured such things as Halloween, Christmas and themed-costume parties, a skillet throw competition and informational presentations on senior issues. Joy Uthoff, one of its organizers, said Senior Mix had fulfilled its purpose.
“At this time in the Baldwin community there are more opportunities from which to choose for our senior citizens, so we feel the original purpose has been fulfilled,” she said.
