I'm still alive!

Hi guys. Sorry for the lack of update. Little known fact: it is hard to be a student, baker, daughter, girlfriend, roommate, swing dancer, friend, and blogger. So, in an effort to be all of these things, this post is coming to you from my PSYC1001 class. What? It's not like we're doing anything interesting anyway. :)


Okay, so here we go. Updates! I am now going to be working with Deb at Deborah's Specialty Cakes from time to time. She's going to have me help serve at events, and she's going to have me help her in the kitchen when she gets busy and teach me some stuff. Also, Chocolate Perks in Duluth is interested in selling my stuff, so I went and met with them on Tuesday and took some samples. They liked my stuff so I sent them prices today. So we'll see how that goes!

And I've been talking business stuff with a few of my friends, and there were a few ideas that really stuck out to me. First of all, Athens is a very Athens-centric town. People love things that are about/from Athens. So why not take advantage of that? Make stuff that uses stuff from Athens. Which brings me to my project for tonight: Red Eye Coffee Cupcakes. Red Eye Coffee is a local coffee shop where Sam is a regular and he has become friends with the owner. I am not a coffee drinker, but I go from time to time and drink some yummy teas. From what I hear, it is some of the best coffee you can get anywhere. So who better to get coffee from than Red Eye? So I'll get some coffee, try it out, and let you know how it goes.

The next Athens-centered project is going to be Terrapin Oatmeal Raisin Stout cookies. Terrapin is a local brewery (brurarrarary!) and they make an Oatmeal Stout, so how perfect would that be?! I'm really excited about it. Those may have to wait until I can legally buy the Oatmeal Stout, however. Wah wah. At least I only have like 2 weeks to go! :)

So, there is no way I am going to be able to update about every single creation I make now, I am getting far too busy for that (as you can see by my lack of posts). All in all, that's a good thing. But what it means is that you guys, if you want to see my creations, are going to have to check my facebook fan page. Just look me up: Flower Haired Girl Cakes. Anyway, I will try and let you know how these cupcakes go since they're pretty unique.

So hooray for being busy!

'Till next time.
