A Very Merry Christmas

Christmas was an awesome two days of busy-ness, baking, and family. My family is a wee crazy, and we always have something exciting happen. This year, two new babies made our Christmas very exciting and fun. Both girls, and everyone bought them noisy toys and babies. Next year, we will have another two new babies, and the two we already have! Our family is growing.

Cake pops are on hold until I can restock. My supplies are nearly empty, and I am extremely happy that I can take a short break for a bit. I worked at six bazaars this year and just about killed myself. LOL. I have a plan in place to prevent that next year, so hopefully that will work!

Two more weeks before school starts and I'll be slammed busy again.

Merry Christmas

From My House to Yours
Have a Blessed Day!
Merry Christmas!

Wore out Baker

Thankfully, the holiday bazaar season is over. It's been a hectic three months. I've done nothing but roll pops and bake cakes. I'm completely wore out. It was definitely fun, though. I can't wait for next year. I'm sure I'll make even more pops!

I've been talking things over with my parents, trying to figure out a way to make this more permanent. I've been looking into mobile kitchens for awhile. The one I had my eye on about six months ago has reduced in price. I have to do some heavy duty tracking in order to obtain an SBA loan for the mobile kitchen. This one is perfect for me, except for two tiny pieces of equipment: a deep fryer and a grill. I'm not about to start deep frying cake pops. Blech. LOL It's small, but I really like it.

So, if you are a praying person, add me to your prayer list. I need to know if I should go forward with this. I love baking, I am having a ball with cake pops, and I need to have a permanent solution to kitchen space.

Last bunch of new flavors!

On November 16, I will be unveiling my last 3 flavors. After this, I'll only create new flavors for special occasions  such as Christmas. These 3 flavors bring me up to 60 flavors. I have a hard time keeping them all in stock. So many flavors, not enough room. I now have access to a deep freeze, which is awesome because I can store almost twice as many cake pops in there over the upright freezers I own. I've got to go through and decide which flavors will be available always (such as Oreo!), which flavors will be special order (such as alcohol based Irish Cream), and which flavors will be only available during holidays (such as Pumpkin).
Ah, the exciting times of a cake pop maker.

Bazaar openings

Crafters and home business owners. If you are interested in participating in a bazaar in October, let me know! There are many booth spots available for the Spooktacular Bazaar on October 13. The cost per booth is $30. It's at the fairgrounds and is well advertised. Let me know if you are interested! ASAP, please.

Standstill

Back to the kitchen. I am in the process of moving my personal stuff, me and the dogs out to my parents' house. 8 miles out of town. I will be in a 5th wheel. It's a pretty nice one, quite large. :)

I the meantime. My bakery will stay at my house in town. This way, I can spread out, and have more room to do what needs to be done. And... Most importantly, people can come to me for pickup, isn't driving all over town trying to bake and make deliveries all at the same time. :). I will continue to look for a bakery location, because my current house is not a permanent option. But, I'll continue to use it until I can't anymore.

Wish I had a bunch of money so that I could just buy a building and remodel it to be what I  want. Lol
