Well, if you don't already know... I have moved. A series of unfortunate events required me to leave the old place immediately. With the help of God, I was handed a new location that is 1,000 times better in so many ways.
I reopened on August 1 after a month of being closed. It has been insanely busy, busier than I was at the old place. But it is so much better and I get to see so many new people and I am across the street from one of the fire stations in town.
I'm down at the shop after three days of insane baking and decorating. I'm attempting to restock my empty cooler. I did some clean up since I didn't get a chance to last night, and I am wrapping up the second batch of raspberry cobbler cupcakes.
I'm improving with the decorations and finally succeeded in completing two fondant cakes with little to no tearing or folding. This is a HUGE step for me. Until now, I have hated fondant because it either folds or tears.
So, even though I'm busier than ever, I'm having a ball and enjoying life!

Open for Business
I have officially opened my doors for business! I have now been open for about 2 weeks and am already doing fairly well! The next two weeks promise to be completely insane, but fun. This weekend I am working a dog show and will be the primary sweets person present. Next Thursday is the first Third Thursday for Main Street, and as a shop owner on Main, I have a primo location. The following weekend is another dog show, though smaller, and I am again the primary sweets person present. So, I may have to sleep a week or so after that. Thankfully, I have two awesome employees that know their stuff and work their tushes off. I've also had some good help from friends, and things are going well.

Postponing the inevitable
Postponing the inevitable always refers to something awful, doesn't it? Well, tonight, it refers to something awesome, wonderful, and exciting!
I have acquired my first business license. I now have to wait for the Department of Agriculture to inspect, then I can OPEN!!!
It is all very exciting! So many things are going on, and I am so busy that I just can't fathom being any busier. I am loving the activity and am in awe of every amazing event that brings me that much closer to opening.
God truly blesses those He loves.

Bakery News
Well, my tentative grand opening date is April 13. It is a Saturday, so I am hoping I have hundreds of people come check it out. I am looking forward to this overwhelming challenge and can't wait to make it fun and exciting. :)

Long time, no post
Wow. Didn't realize it had been four months since I posted on here. I usually come on, work on the cake pops link, and leave. Between having colds and being extra busy (not at the same time!), I haven't had time to update the blog!
A lot has been happening lately. I've finally found a great location at an excellent price. It needs very minor work to get it ready, but I should be open in the next few weeks. I'm aiming for an April 15th Grand Opening, but I hope to be running before then.
It's been very exciting watching everything happen while I sit back and wait. I was given a very nice, new oven, possibly some counters, and enough money to buy a shelving unit. My dad is able to do some of the building stuff that needs to be done, move the bar from one side of the stairs to the other, and build a partial wall between myself and the other business I will be sharing the space with.
Life is very exciting indeed!

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.
