Not A Dying Trend....

So when I first thought of doing this as a business, I was cautioned that it is a hot trend but to be prepared if it dies out. Well, Knock on wood but so far....so good. It's been a little over a year since I started this venture and it only seems to be growing. Working with another local baker and putting our talents together and offering something unique is definitely top on my list of things to accomplish for the following year.  I've had ups and downs this past year and I am thankful for them all because how else am I suppose to learn. I have begun working with fondant and gum paste and expanding my creativity when it comes to decorating. I don't want to go all crazy with the fondant BUT, it's good to be able to do those cute little things when needed. I also started working with making my own cupcake pick toppers as well. A cute fun way to put that extra zing on the cupcake without taking away from the flavors.   I've experienced with different types of packaging and I think I've got it nailed to what works best.  I have a cupcake tasting party coming up and I think that will be just FUN for us all.  I've had some dry cupcakes, some out of this world cupcakes and some I won't make again because it just wasn't worth the hassle but all in all, it's been such a successful year. My customers on facebook keep growing and I have no one to thank but all my fans on facebook who keep spreading the word!  So, be on the look out Glens Falls....I'm not going anywhere!

Obsessions

Yeah, I love to bake. We all know that. There is just something so satisfying to me by combining ingredients and making something taste and look beautiful.  It's an obsession. Well........I have more. LOTS more. My poor husband. 

 I am obsessed with books, need them all. Hardback, paperback, or on the Kindle. Not my kindle, I dont' have one yet, but my 10 year old daughter's kindle. Obsessed with Katherine Heigel and any movie she's been in. Also obsessed with anything musical or contains dance, for example So you think you can dance and Glee...do not hate..appreciate.  Obsessed with taking pictures of anything and everything, I love post-its...YES, I just said post-its. OMG, lets not forget....PINK FLOYD.....Love'them...singing this as I write it.....MOST of all ( well for now anyways) I love jars and containers. THEREFORE, I have bought some containers, and saved all my glass jars, and I shall fill them. With what you ask? WHY..with baking stuff of course...duh!!!!

I'd like to give a shout out ( do people still say that?) to Angelia because without this fantastic label mechanism, it wouldn't look as good :)  In the midst of baking, labeling has been done. Mission Accomplished.    Time to go watch a Katherine Heigel Movie :)
