Brought in the morning baking!

Well Good Morning!!!!

Yeah, I haven't been to sleep yet. I just got out of the shower trying to scrub all of the dried up chocolate and powdered sugar off of me (lol)! I must say that I am soooooooooooo happy to just be home and have the ability to wake up when I want and bake anytime that I want.  This is typically the only time that I get to bake in the early hours of the morning without worrying about being exhausted the next day. One of my friends that bakes with me has a tendency to ONLY want to bake before daybreak in the morning. She used to make me so SICK when we were roommates. I would wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and she would be in the kitchen looking crazy talking about "I just felt like baking" (sounding like damn Forest Gump)!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would be like, WHAT THE HELL??? AM I BEING PUNKED!!!!!!!!!...Where are the cameras??? (LMBO)! I love her though because she and I are really great friends and share the love of baking. I won't even talking about our other friend that is bakes with us from Japan...she is HILARIOUS! Lord, WE NEED YOU! (Giggle)

We really didn't get many orders this year, but it's something how things work out because I've become aware of a few families that could really use a little something extra this holiday season. My plan is to begin baking again in the morning just to give to these families. Kids love sweet treats and the more colors they see, the more excited they tend to become. I'm thinking that I am going to do a combination of double chocolate cupcakes with chocolate and peanut butter icings and plain with rainbow icing. I think they'll really enjoy that...hopefully as much as I will making them (smile)! I'll start out on this mission in the morning and then work my way into my regular orders.

One of my friends from the Corps will be here spending Thanksgiving with me, so maybe she'll throw out some new ideas to add to Hasty Pastry's portfolio. She's from the West Indies, so I'll make sure that whatever it is, it is not too far fetched. I told her on the phone today that I don't know where to buy goat so we may have to pass on the curry goat this time around (LMBO)! Can you imagine curry cupcakes??? (looking buck-eyed)!

I had to make quite a few cupcakes tonight but only one cake, so for those that know me, they know that I LOVE flowers! Needless to say, my red velvet cake ended up with roses on top (shrugs)...hey, what can I say? It was the last think I had to work on, so I had a little extra time.

Well, I'm going to get a couple of hours of sleep before beginning again, so continue doing things YOUR WAY...and ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF IT!
