The First of Many

     This blog is my attempt at recording my journey into trying to make my home based cake shop a success.  This will not only be recorded forever so that I can look back and remember the journey but it will hopefully also amuse you, because what fun is it if I go at it alone.  My mind is like an etch a sketch.  You can tell me something and minutes later, shake, shake, shake, it's gone.  It's not always a bad thing though.  I attribute my ability to get along with even the most difficult people to the fact that I don't hold grudges.  I don't hold grudges because, well, my etch a sketch mind works so well!  Anyways, the point of this random etch a sketch paragraph is to re-iterate the fact that this blog will help me remember the journey I have decided to take. 
     Having a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and a Master's in Accounting and Financial Management, my decision to open up a cake shop is sort of out of left field right?  Right!  Which is why I have to blog it!  Can you already see the millions of mistakes and weird ideas I will be coming up with?  I can, because I am doing it now.  As I type, I have a dozen Vegan cupcakes cooling off on a rack top of my stove.  Vegan Cupcakes?  What?  I am in no way a health freak and love to drool over anything that is full of fat, calories, and artificial flavors.  BUT in this new journey, I dare to venture in an effort to accomodate other tastes and make these options available to those that do care about their health and their values.  I will not judge, I will just bake :-)
