So yes we won Cupcake Wars!
It is a reality. It was an accomplishment, that happened because myself and Jeremy earned it. Noone else.

Was it possible without help- without a doubt, our parents, our friends and our families, and our trustee taste testers... it helped us get to that level.

John Bale Cafe, was our "incubator", a term they like to refer to themselves as, personally- it reminds me of eggs.. chicken... whatever, but it is really the same concept. We grew and built our business in their facility, used their resources and took our ideas, our blood, sweet sweat and lots of tears into this magnitude if a Cupcake business that we reached. We can't thank them enough for putting up with us for a year, and I know they are so happy that in just a year, we out grew and now are on our own farm... see what I did there?! Haha. Our farm is really a factory- the Old Pin Shop in Oakville, and damn does it feel good to be here.

Honestly, it is night and day. The businesses are cross promoting, welcoming and well, just really nice and supportive. It makes us realize that our choice was the right now.

YES I know I said we put "Connecticut on the Map"
YES I really do mean it.
YES I do know other companies won on Cupcake Wars.
YES I respect those companies.
YES I stand by my damn statement, that luckily everyone LOVED and quote when they come in, It's actually cute.

Here is the thing, those interviews are like 6 hours long, and they edit it, and they kept that part. Honestly I don't even remember say that. And again, honestly I was upset that they didn't keep my quote of  "For all the T Ball games I missed, Bed time stories I couldn't read, and dinners that were take out and not homemade- this is for you, the three biggest fans I have, my loves, my children."

THAT, That is what I really wanted to hear. I had it envisioned that they would be at our party watching it for the first time, and watching me cry and see that I am sorry for everything for the past year I had to miss out on. That is what I wanted.


We are a small business, a very very small business. We  have such respect for every other buisness, because trust me- we KNOW how hard it takes, the hours, the money and the dedication to keep it running.
To hear negative talk through the grape vine, because remember we do live in that small state that "we put on the map" so it is really upsetting to see these companies we respect try to tear us down and pick us apart.

Tell me the reason.
Because it is NOT ok to try to tear down the hard work that myself and my husband have done. We have given up every penny, and then some to start this business, we work 18 hour days regularly, and we refer people to all other local businesses if we can not take a job, especially to the companies that we know are talking negative about us.

It is sad really. Childish, and really at this point kind of comical.
Get over it, and give it up, seriously. People talk. Small businesses talk. And the only way to keep a float is helping one another.

Thank you for all the support, it makes us feel that it was worth the move and the sacrifice to keep this up.
As far as the Cupcake Wars post.. that will be up soon.

We do not broadcast about the show, because as much as it has helped us, launched our business we want to be known for our logo done by Dominic at at Brass City Tattoo and our crazy cupcakes that are always fresh. The cupcake wars logo and winner title, is really just our added bonus on our resume ;)
