Incredible Day

I am so busy today. But I wanted to share some wonderful news with you all. VCVC Cupcakes teamed up with Doms Sausage of Malden this am to help out with the cupcake part of their catering!! Also we launched www.vcvccupcakes.com today... that is now our official webpage. I am so excited I could burst!!! Check it out and pass it on!

BIG CHANGES

There are some HUGE changes afoot. VCVC Cupcakes has been established!!! It is officials. Today I worked with a great graphic designer who created this wonderful logo for me. I really like it!!! I also signed on with a wonderful girl to create me a wonderful website. I can't wait to launch that. I am so excited. On top of all that I am looking forward to working with a very popular local business and helping them with all of their cupcake needs :) Things are really looking up for VCVC Cupcakes. For now please "like" us on Facebook and spread the word. (just search for VCVC Cupcakes because I don't know how to shorten our URL on there). Word of mouth is the best form of flattery, even if it is talking while full of frosting :)

Dancing the Days Away

Days are simply flying by between planning the engagement party, family, work and trying to start the cupcake business. Several big steps have been taken thought. First off, I received my ServSafe Certification. I am pretty proud of that, some of the things I learned were pretty frightening. Also a name has been decided upon. VCVC Cupcakes. Do you like it? I do!!! It is my initials. After the name was decided upon, business cards were printed!!! This is all becoming so real!! I am also working on getting a formal website with ordering info on it, prices, flavor combination ideas and a decent portfolio on it.

So with that I shall leave you with some pictures of some recent project photos. I really enjoy doing this. A passion that I sort of fell into. I never thought of myself as creative, maybe I was wrong... maybe I found my talent. PS... the ballet cupcakes... were a HUGE hit!!!

Just when you thought the water was safe....

I went for my ServSafe certification on Saturday. I am super excited. Another big step towards the shop. Well ok, maybe a small step, but a step I can take now! On Sunday I had to work for a few hours and then I had a challenge... in Weston a water main broke. Long story short my town is under a "water boil order". This means under no circumstances should you ingest any of the tap water. No drinking it, washing your dishes, brushing your teeth, washing your hands etc without special precautions, which can be seen here http://www.mass.gov/Eeohhs2/docs/dph/cdc/mwra_water_break/water_break_faq_gen.pdf Of course, I had cupcakes to make!! The teacher appreciation luncheon was fast approaching and they HAD to have some vanilla cupcakes with strawberry frosting... of course!! So I did my research, sanitized EVERYTHING and went to work. It was so much fun. I was psyched. About 3 hours later I found out that the teachers luncheon was postponed until further notice. Bummer. And they were so cute too! But I do have to admit, it was interesting.

At this point I am glad I do not have the shop. Even the major companies like Dunks and Starbucks are hurting. They can not make coffee to sell, it just is not safe. So while people are worried about the pain in the butt of having to boil water or the panic of finding bottled water because they are too lazy or afraid to boil water, there are businesses out there who could lose their lively hood. I hope they don't.

So cheers to clean water... hopefully in the near future. I am off to find someone who is hungry for a cupcake... and not a teacher. :-)

Spring is here!!!

Officially the calendar says that spring is here! Mother Nature seems not so sure. But with all the rain we have had I figured some pretty cupcakes would brighten everyone's mood. Since I last wrote so much has happened. I went away to Costa Rica with the Editor and he proposed while we were there. I was in heaven. Of course I could not help but think about what to make for engagement cupcakes. While I was there I had no access to baking but I did have a dream about how I was going to make some Mario Cupcakes for a friend's son's birthday when I got home. Then when I got home I found out that he changed his mind and was going with Spiderman. No problem. I am also working with lactose free and gluten free on this order. It will be interesting but I am optimistic. I like a challenge lately.

Today I made some Easter Cupcakes. Easter is one of those holidays that always seems to sneak up on me. Since it is never on the same day each year and can even change months it seems to pop out of nowhere for me. I had fun today though. The kids seem to like how they came out. So here they are!!!
