Don't know if they sell it by you June but I drink Water Joe - it has as much caffeine as coffee. Sometimes I brew it into iced tea and get double the stay-awake-to-cake power!

We don't have that Joann, but stuff very similar. One called "5 hour energy drink".  I am just a hobby baker, & have never pulled a all nighter, so I don't need this stuff. Am am susceptible to caffeine, so I do try & space it out during the day. Usually it is green tea for me after 11 am. My heart rate jumps erratically with too much juice.... and I can't sleep. Actually, if I got that "wired", can't say for sure how my cakes would look... kinda a scary thought. I am already a "A" type personality... go, go go.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Baker

Comment by Joann Gottermeyer on April 3, 2013 at 11:40am

Just as long as it isn't anything like Groundhog Day...you spend your whole day, well into the night, decorating the most complicated cake anyone has ever, ever ordered......fall into bed exhausted......and wake up in the morning to the same day - and the same cake!! - over and over and over again!!!!!! Can you just imagine?!

Comment by June Kowalczyk on April 3, 2013 at 11:40am

JoAnn... man oh man.... that would be a Nightmare. But one good thing about Ground Hog day...if your cake Didn't turn out..... instant redo!!
