Can we finish this weekends orders...
I want a BOTTLE of wine, and a whole night of catching up on my bad reality TV shows if I do.
Oh wait, It is Bunny's birthday Monday.
After that, then another jam packed week.
Bunny is going to be 2. If you keep reading our blog- which I really hope you do, I promise I will get better; perhaps more interesting, you will get to know our kids nick names. There is Bunny, Bubby and Babe. Catchy right?
We have a ton of orders this week, PLUS this huge Chocolate Lovers Expo, we were hesitate about- but jumped in and figured WHY NOT?! Then realized Bunny's birthday is the following day, and it lands on Super Bowl. We have some orders for football day. That is one thing that helps- guys LOVE our cupcakes.
Who wouldn't love a chicken n' waffle cupcake, or our superbowl cupcake, with chicken wings on top.
Ok, most people.
There is a lot to do, and there was a lot done today as well. We have been going back and forth on a bakery space, just for commerical baking- then going back and forth on making it retail, and so on. Well I don't know how we did, but we lucked out on who we became partners with.
- Side note, I know many don't know the background, but you can go to our about us page... and figure it out. We partnered up with 2 really amazing, and genuine people. In all honesty, they are smart business people, they are kind hearted and it doesn't feel like a business meeting when we are sitting there for 3 hours, talking about serious discussions and then joking around telling Jeremy to "fuck off." Hey, sometimes you have to lighten the mood.
But yeah, the owners of John Bale saw what we had as an idea, and believed in it- in us, in our dreams.. and now we are trying to figure out the next step... and we did. Jeremy and I thought about it all night while baking and we are really excited about the step up. Stage 2 of Hardcore Sweet LLC so to speak. We will be having our own kitchen area, no more 7pm baking sessions and staying up till 3am, and then up at 6am.. No no, momma is getting on a schedule- which means MORE cupcakes, cakes, brownies, etc... and we will have our own area for retail.
In probably one of the nicest places in Waterbury- with great clientele with partners that not only support us, but are behind us 1000%. We are excited in this next phase of our business, and can't wait to see what the warmer weather brings! Betty will be out and about as much as we can, that I can bet on!
Pictures will be up soon from the expo. I am so lucky to have a best friend, who happens to be a fantastic photographer and helper at these events. Corin Winters Photography out of Naugatuck! So I know she will get some Glamour Shots for us.
