hmmmmm.

UGH... last week was CRAZY.. Enfield farmers market was blah due to the weather, lebanon was pretty good except the initial fees killed me... and some confusion as to where i was supposed to be set up was a little confusing... and dont even get me started on cornish.. BEAUTIFUL weather.. tiny little market.. it was interesting.. more like the vendors just hanging out and having a hen party..

On a brighter note.. I am doing a baby shower cake.. YAY. and some wedding shower cupcakes or cake... again yay. It is also coming up fast on my favorite season. Fall.. i LOVE IT. the smell of the air, cool nights, school supplies, beginnings and ends.

These last couple weeks have not been easy. There are times that i am a little discouraged I would LOVE for things to take off quicker, but it is what it is. I must have patience, something that is hard for me.

The past week has given me a few insights though. CHOCOLATE... people love it.. i am not a chocolate person. But i have had many requests for a chocolate cupcake.
so this weeks line up is smaller, only 3 cupcakes.

Snicker doodle cupcakes
devils food cupcake with orange butter cream
pumpkin spice cupcake with cream cheese frosting..

Enfield.

Hey guys, It is tuesday night. I am exhausted. I have 3 dozen cupcakes to bake tomorrow and some frosting and glazing to do. Heading to bed early so i know that i will have the energy tomorrow to get it done.

I have the Enfield farmers market again tomorrow from 3 to 6. stop by and see me. It will totally be worth it. Im super excited as i have a tent this week to shield me from the sun.. or the rain as the case may be.


Just a quick reminder of this weeks flavors, Guinness, applesauce spice, allergy free chocolate, and blondie..

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see some friends tomorrow!!

Baking.

Today the baking has begun. 3 farmers markets this week! Yay me. I also talked to the woman at the co op today and got that process started. Its gonna take longer than i thought.( which is hard cause i kinda like instant gratification) But at least the ball is rolling.

So far i have 3 dozen JUMBO guinness cupcakes, and 3 dozen allergy free chocolate. 6 dozen more to go ( blondie and applesauce with apple cider buttercream) Im able to take it a little slower this week because i have known about the farmers markets for a week rather than finding out the day before i can do it.

I really really want this to happen. I want it to work with all of my being. I am putting my heart and soul into this.

Wow.

So, today i was FINALLY able to get a hold of the woman from the Lebanon farmers market.... and guess what.... IM IN!! im so super duper excited.. also i have been a busy bee. i got in touch with the cornish farmers market and i will be doing that too!.... so Wednesdays from 3 to 6 i will be in enfield. Thursdays from 4 to 7 i will be in Lebanon... and saturdays from 9-2 i will be in cornish... I AM SO SUPER PSYCHED

I am making an allergen free cupcake this week and a requested cupcake from the cornish farmers market.. Guinness with Guinness glaze.. also up to bat next week are applesauce spice with apple cider butter cream and an amazing blondie cupcake.. think blondie bars in cupcake form.

Tonight is the first night in a few weeks i have been away from Jeff and its a little odd. Hes at his parents house helping out with some stuff. Doing MAN things LOL. it is a little odd though not to have someone to bounce ideas off. Lately i am full of them. i am list making monster. a cupcake flavor making monster.... and Jeff is excited as i am. ( i LOVE that he believes in me UNCONDITIONALLY) Im pretty sure he believes in me more than i believe in myself. Im getting there. Slowly but surely.

Now im thinking of packaging again, but napkins and things of that nature for the farmers market. I have also been thinking of decorating.. sanding sugars, toppings, etc... and did i mention the new frosting tip that i am IN LOVE with... ahhhhhh

Hope you all have sweet dreams.. i know i will.

YUMMY!

I have all these amazing flavors in my head. I need one more flavor for the Enfield farmers market next week. so far the line up is.... Blondie cupakes.. an allergen free ( no nuts no dairy no eggs) chocolate cupcake .... and an applesauce spice cupcake with apple cider buttercream... i need one more!

I keep playing phone tag with the woman from the lebanon farmers market which i want to know about NOW! like 3 days ago now. I think i will phone stalk her today til i get an answer.

I am getting so excited about so many things. Ann and her blog header was amazing. The fact that i actucally SOLD cupcakes was pretty sweet. Dawn had dinner here last night then she (with my input) worked on some logo stuff.. well she knows what it is. i just know its cute! Things are steady going. I need to talk to someone at the Co-op and see if they might be interested in carrying a few just to see how it goes....

Which brings us back again to the packaging. If i want to put my product out there.. i need something to put it in. Must figure these things out!

I have accomplished the task at hand. 4 dozen cupcakes. 4 different flavors. 4 different frostings all home made... YAY. they are all sitting in my fridge (with a few extras at the bank for marketing) awaiting to go to their new home at the farmers market. I will be in Enfield today friends by lasalette, near the shaker inn from 3 to 6 PLEASE come and taste my creations..
