the good and the bad...

I got unexpected exciting news yesterday when a new cafe called and asked me to be the baker for her shop...wow that did happen! I have to admit I still doubt my ability, still doubt if I'm good enough to sell especially when it seems like everyone and their mom bakes. I preceded to have a panic attack about if I can really pull all this off, with school starting next week. I am determined to finish school but it seems like all these opportunities are coming up and I'm afraid if I don't take them now I won't get them again, and this is my dream job! So, I decided to do it and called to find out about getting a business license...bad news followed and I have been feeling deflated all day. Apparently you need a lot of crap to be able to sell food, especially to another business...like a lot of money and I have to bake from a commercial kitchen (not my home, which does not make sense if I'm doing a HOME business!). I know that everything will come in time and this just isn't mine yet, and the smart thing to do is finish school and bake on the side but it's really heartbreaking when you get an offer that is almost to good to be true and then it is taken away.
I have to admit though, it's pretty great that this has all happened to me in just a few months..I just wanted to practice and now am selling and even getting business offers!! Happy dance!
