Good Day!

Today was a fantastically fabulous day! Mo and I FINALLY got to take some time off, as we're closed on Sunday and Monday. That was the first time we got some rest - well, some - in MONTHS! It was SO worth it! We came back refreshed! :)Yesterday, however, instead of keeping it a day off, we decided to come in and do a bit of baking and free PR. We came in to make LOTS of mini cupcakes, bag them up and walk them to the offices across the street from our shop. Through rain and sun, it was SO much fun! (Hey! I'm a poet, and didn't even KNOW it!) We thanked God because it really could have been hot and gross, as are many days of Tallahassee summers, but he gave us some cloud cover. Fun times :) That brought us some customers today! And some people that were definitely interested in what we had to offer. Great times.

Last night I spent some time with a great friend and mentor of mine, Marion Shaffer of Art Of The Catwalk. She has been INSTRUMENTAL in getting me where I am today. Letting me present as a vendor at her events when my money was SO less than funny. She's an amazing woman, mentor and Mama. And I love her :*
Today was T-shirt Tuesday, where everyone that purchases a T-shirt receives a FREE Cupcake every Tuesday they sport their shirt! Of course, you can buy a shirt ANY day of the week, but the free cupcake is only good on Tuesday.
Speaking of cupcakes - tomorrow is a very special day. Wednesday's specialty cupcake is FORBIDDEN FRUIT (note the apples...). We both know how much you want to try it. We do. It's true. So we've got a challenge. The first 5 customers that can come in and win our trivia challenge will get a FREE Forbidden Fruit cupcake. Wanna know what's in it? I can't tell you! How do we know THAT'S not the trivia challenge...? Hmmm.....

The theme for tomorrow is CHOCOLATE! We had so many people come in and ask for it today, we had to make it a staple. So get this - our Mini Cakes will be triple chocolate, our Cake Lollipops will be dipped in chocolate, we'll have Chocolate Cupcakes - it's everywhere!! Tomorrow's menu is: Vanilla, Chocolate, FORBIDDEN FRUIT, Pink Lemonade, Red Velvet, Vanilla Gluten Free, Chocolate Mini Cakes and Vanilla/Chocolate Cake Lollipops. So much chocolate I can't keep up! :)

Thanks for checking in! Get sweet on this Forbidden Fruit - go against everything you've ever heard about it ;)
