friendship

the last couple of weeks have been pretty insane.

i got stranded in bismarck due to a snow storm without any clothes. so i had to go to the local convenience store to get something to sleep in. yeah. classy.

ran tons of errands and took care of a few orders that came in, too.

but. enough with the boring stuff.

oh, this is not boring. but sad. i had to decline two orders :(

the truth is. it did not feel pleasant.

one of the orders was for lisa, a sweet lady. she wanted cupcakes and cake balls for her mom’s 90th birthday. yes. you read right. 90th !

the reason i couldn’t serve my clients this week? well. i already had booked my… vacation. and could not undo.

i’m going to visit my best friend karla in florida. we have known each other for 19 years.

so. pretty please. give me a call in a week or so with your requests :)

i will miss you!

facebook & the baking cup

well. this is probably one of those shameless plugs you have to do just because.

it’s okay. i’m not ashamed. it’s called “shameless” for a reason.

before i even started the blog i went ahead and created the baking cup facebook page. so. i can say that i’ve been facebooking for a while.

but has gotten to the point that i maintain the fan page with some mobile uploads and posts. and. i’ve forgotten about posting photos or interacting more. however, in my defense, interaction, or lack of, it’s twitter’s fault :)

and to be honest. facebook is like flickr on steroids. don’t get me wrong. i love flickr. i just think that if you can centralize your fans, comments and photos, why not use one medium, right?

you can visit the baking cup on facebook and experience all of our flavors.

oh, and i just posted tons of photos, too. not the mobile type. the real deal.
