3 Weeks....REALLY?!

Well my friends, we have officially been open for three weeks. It doesn't feel that long at all; which in the grand scheme of things isn't really that long, but for my purposes this all feels like a dream. The first two days that we were open, it was very slow and I started whining just a tad; I guess second guessing my big decision. So on the third day of whining, I pulled up my big girl panties and made a very rudamentary sign out of our glorious pink boxes, which I then affixed to two pieces of wood, wrote our name in blue sharpie and proceeded to beat this thing into the ground at the end of Patchen Drive with a rock. My adorable husband laughed at my efforts a little but he did agree to do the rock beating part. So thirty minutes after this little exercise, people started coming in the door. I am not saying it was due to our poor little box sign, but the timing was rather odd. So, needless to say I stopped whining about no one visiting our little shoppe. We also had an ad come out in Skirt Magazine, which I love dearly. That could have a part in this saga as well, but the little pink box deserves some credit I think. The funny thing is that it's still at the end of the road. I can't bring myself to take the thing down! So fast forward to today and we are still here baking cupcakes. I even have time to come up with some new cool flavors like white chocolate raspberry and chocolate chip cookie dough. We even have the opportunity to create special cupcakes like eggless and milkless for people with allergies. I think that is very important because I couldn't imagine the stress of dealing with a food allergy; let alone having a child with a food allergy. I feel the need to at least try to create special cupcakes because everyone deserves a happy; especially people that have had to cut these from their diets due to the curse of allergies. I want to thank everyone that has supported us during this venture and all of the wonderful people that we have met since the shoppe opened. Thank you all for bringing your adorable children to visit us. That is truly one of the highlights of my day; especially when they see the free sprinkle jar and become picassos of the cupcake world sprinkling their happy cupcakes in beautiful colors.

So cheers to 3 weeks!

Peace & Love,

I - HEART- Hedghogs

The animal postings continue my friends. I had to post these little guys too; how adorable. I found out that hedgehogs are the new pet craze. They are actually very sweet babies and quite spunky. I just think they are precious. Maybe will will have Hedgehog Cakes one day; ya never know!

I - HEART- penguins

Oh my gosh...I absolutely had to share these cupcakes with you guys. I ADORE them so much. They were for a lovely (and very entertaining) girl's birthday; Happy Birthday Jessica. I have fallen in love with them and was a little sad to part with the penguins, but knowing how much of a fan that Jessica is of the penguin species; I have made my peace with it.

The day has finally arrived and what this means my dear loves is that our store will be open in the very near future. The very near future meaning the last of February or first of March. I am absolutely breathless with anticipation for you all to see our cute, boutique-ey cupcake shoppe. We have worked very hard and I must say that I am completely in love with the place. So with this glorious news I have posted a cupcake heart for all of you who have stuck by us and told all your friends about our endevour. We love you all!!! The countdown has begun and I will post as soon as the door flings open. It will be a wonderful birthday present for me in March and trust that we will all be celebrating my birthday at the shoppe; you included. Until then....

Count Down

Hi Everyone,

I am so excited to tell you that we are finally counting down to opening day. It has been quite a haul, but we are finally there. We are shooting for the week of Valentine's Day, but I secretly hope that it will happen a little before then. Our new canopy is up and it took my breath away the first time that I saw it. The inside of the store is adorable and it was a true family effort to pull everything together. I can't wait to meet you all and finally open our doors. This has been a dream of mine for so long that I feel like someone should pinch me soon!

Thank you all for your continued support and patience! We are on our way!

XO~ Peace & Love

Holiday Wishes

Hi All!

We are working diligently to get our little shoppe up and running. It looks like we will be opening in January and I can't think of a better way to start the new year. The hubby and I have been extremely busy making the new space fabulous; I am thinking of buying my own tool belt at this point. It will be great and we can't wait to see everyone's gorgeous faces on opening day. I will keep all posted as to the exact date. We are still available for orders so shoot us some emails; the kitchen is still open.

I just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas, Hanaukah, Kwanza, beautiful holiday. I hope you are able to spend time with the ones that you love and that peace follows you throughout your celebrations! We will see you all in 2009!

Happy Tidings!
