I can not believe it has been this long since an update. Well, I take that back I could. We have been so busy with cupcakes, the food truck life...and well family life. Remember three kids are involved in our crazy daily routine..which makes the struggle, stress and eventually rewards worth it.

We are on our way to Philly... With two of the three crew today to go get permits for a huge Fest we are doing in a couple weeks. It's called This Is Hardcore. Never heard of it? Yeah me neither. 
Just kidding, it's a huge festival with a ton of great bands. 90% have never heard of these bands, but hey...check them out, you might just like them. Jeremys band has played before, and knew how insane the food trucks were at this festival  So when he found out 100 Demons was playing again, he figured why not mix his two (three, including me) loves together. Hs band, and his business.  

I honestly don't know what we are thinking. 2000 cupcakes, most being vegan which is trickier to triple batch...so it's more time consuming. Doing all these frostings, pack everything up, but hey, what's more hardcore then the biggest festival of the year,and having us tackle it, and of course succeed!
A huge TIHC update will follow with how we did.
No one else has a GWAR cake. So right there automatically should make us awesome.


What Hardcore Sweet been up to?!
Umm..LOTS.
Many festivals, and events. We are trying to really get into a system of business sided things. As I promised, I will get into the possibly boring side of a food truck,because as any might think...I sit here and wear an apron and make cupcakes with a smile on my face.

WRONG!!!!
We have to deal with not just one health dept like a store, but multiple. We have to deal with the police, and let's just say its not a breeze to operate a food truck in our hometown, sadly. We have truck problems, 120 degrees in a huge tin can, because we probably got ripped off by a shitty company. Hey it happens right. You live, you learn. We make the best of it. 

Oh and did I mention working with your husband..again 
Like the cops, it's not a breeze. It's tough. It's constant work. Once I'm home, I'm doing invoices, marketing, recipes,scheduling...it really doesn't stop,and neither does the costs. It's a tough business, and running a business with your husband can really ruin a marriage. We have had countless disagreements, dozens of fights, and a handful of all out brawls practically...but hopefully this will make our business, and really more importantly our marriage, stronger. We have sacrificed so much. We believe in each other, and that's the most important part.

And lots of back rubs after a long day :)
