Day One

Well I am FINALLY starting my diet..I know, finally! So today is day one of losing my cupcake pudginess and I started with The Green Monster.

I can do it!

Woo hoo, last summer session ever! One more year and I am done with school! I don't even know if I'm going to use my degree, now that the baking thing has taken off but just to say I finally completed it is enough! I have learned a lot, changed a lot in the last few years...who woulda thought life would turn out this way!

Ever hear a quote and it takes your breathe away because it is SO defining you!? This is that quote:

baking pet peeve!

I am obsessed with baking blogs, have gotten so much knowledge from them BUT I have a major pet peeve...when people that say they are professional bakers and charge a lot of money for their work yet it comes from a box! I have used boxes and sometimes they even taste better then my from scratch stuff but since I started really practicing, really baking I have made everything from scratch and will continue to do so. I think that's what makes someone a baker, what makes it fun...putting together something from a few ingredients not just throwing in a box recipe that they make dummy proof (that's what my HNFS teacher called them!).
Okay I'm done ranting and I guess to each their own... :)

I have to admit that I doubt how good I am when it comes to my baking; I know I have talent but there is always a part of me that questions how good it really is, if people will really like and pay for them. I get so nervous when I'm doing a order, even charge too little but I today, for the first time, I truly believe. I still can't believe this is all happening, something I've wanted to do forever, and that I am good and people like it...seriously my heart is so happy!
The review I got today for a two dozen order: "Hands down the best cupcakes I have ever eaten!! Everyone loved them!!" (I choked up after hearing this!)

it's raining, it's pouring!

I'm soooo boring these days...guess that's what happens when you get "married" and a homebody! Nothing like the old days, when I was infused with drama adventures on a weekly basis (mostly about boys)..but this is way better, a life full of baking and coupled-om bliss.
I am very worried about the Fall...full time school, an internship, wedding planning and a new business. Eek!!
