Love this so much, I’d do it for free!
I’ve often said this, and it’s so true. Everyone dreams of what they’d do if they won the lottery – well, I wouldn’t change a thing, except I wouldn’t have to charge for my culinary programs or my baked goods.
I’m exhausted tonight, because I’ve spent many long hours baking – for several large orders (thankfully, because they help pay the bills), preparing for fall after-school cooking programs, working on getting raffle donations for my Cupcake Capers fundraiser for Mommy’s Light Lives On (see previous post), and baking for freebie give-away events.
Today, my niece Katie and her friend Ally helped me at an event at Fairmount Park for the Junior League of Philadelphia. We gave out samples - hundreds of mini-cupcakes and even more cookies. Of course, I had business cards available – and so many people took them, especially after they realized that I deliver!
I also gave out flyers for the fundraiser – and many people who never heard of Mommy’s Light seemed interested in a fun afternoon of cupcake decorating – that would also help kids who have lost their moms – to keep their moms’ memories alive. I hope they register! It feels good to be doing something to help others in need.
Tonight, it’s off to bed early to catch up on sleep, rejuvenate my aching body, and look forward to another fun week. It’ll be even more fun, because, after 10 years in business, I’m finally upgrading some appliances in my kitchen. As tired as I am, I can’t wait to try them out!
Tomorrow, I’m having a double oven, 5-burner range installed, as well as a new dishwasher, and a new garbage disposal. Can’t wait! Imagine my productivity – especially in December. Last year, I baked 18,000 Christmas cookies in a single oven during the month of December. I’ll have lots of time to sleep this year – since I’ll be baking cookies in half the time.
And, on that note, Merry Christmas (haha!) to all, and to all a good night! ;-)
