Reflections

I've been thinking a lot about our first two weeks making and selling cupcakes at PapaBoos. It's been fun, crazy, and exhausting! We are having a great time not only making and decorating cupcakes, but also talking to all of YOU who come in to buy and eat our cupcakes. It is so satisfying to see someone thoroughly enjoy something we made.

Lots of things happen in the kitchen that no customer ever sees (don't worry, your cupcakes are totally safe)! If someone were to spy on us, though, they might see us laughing a whole lot, listening to some crazy music, dancing (badly), singing (badly), doing jumping jacks and push-ups, taste-testing our products, washing many dishes, and causing powdered sugar explosions with the stand mixer.

I actually like my sister, and love seeing her every day (it's true). I'm loving cupcake-making and want to thank everyone who has come by to get some cupcakes. Keep coming back for more!

Sunday Sell Out and Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came by on Sunday and got cupcakes - we had a sell out! I apologize if someone wanted one, but didn't get one. Demand was greater than expected. We'll make more for next week!

Thanks so much everyone!

Katie and the Bee

Katie's been baking again and this time she wanted to make a Bee for her Dad's birthday. She did a great job. Baked and decorated the cake on her own. Very cute!

Special Order Football Cake

We had a lady contact us about doing a special order quarter sheet cake for her son's birthday. She wanted it to look like a football field. Liz said she had done one before and we could do that.

I ordered some football decor for the cake and basically handed it all off to Liz because it was my hubby's birthday the day we needed to work on it. Like the wonderful sister she is, Liz said she'd take care of it.

This is the cake she came up with. I can't tell you how knock out cute this cake is in person! I knew she was talented, but I was totally blown away when I saw it. She did a top notch job and I'm so proud of her (and the cake)!

See all those lines and little numbers on the cake?
She free-handed those on there.
Yeah, that's what I said too!
