Lazy day stuff

August was a crazy busy month!

We FINALLY have an AC/Heating system that actually works!!!

Granted, all of the really hot days are finally over-it's nice to be able to walk into the bakery and 

it IS actually cooler inside then it is outside. 

****whole new world****

but I am also really looking forward to 

not wearing a coat inside the bakery this winter!

We finished up our last round of OMSI After Dark

Under the Sea was the theme.

Next up will be the 

Taste of Zupan's

 Wedding season is starting to wind down a bit

for everyone. It seemed a bit more relaxed this year. 

We still have some gorgeous sunny days ahead

before the rain comes back in earnest.

 I, for one, am going to enjoy this day off,

recharge those batteries,

and mentally prepare for...

*gulp* the Holidays!

Summertime treats

A small sampling of cakes that my pastry chef

& crew have whipped up so far this summer. 

Orange you happy when you spy flowers?
(Oh, come on-stop the groaning)

Tonal shift

Fruity waterfall

Simple elegance

Pastel rainbow

Tart + Fruit = Summer deliciousness

Cupcake time

Young whipper snappers

Roses go with everything

Roses can be much more than plants

Birds of a feather

Farm animals are hanging around

Swirly sweetness

I come up with so many new ideas after attending these events.

I'm thinking a bracer that will hold sharpies & measuring spoons now.

You will often see people sporting several small ribbons w/sayings or 

names of groups. These will be randomly passed out to passersby or 

given to a person upon request.

Now that I have learned of at least one company 

that produces these, I shall be coming up with my own .

This shall take some serious contemplation.

Yes, I'm still lurking about

Hi all, So it's been a bit busy on this end of things, that is my excuse for no recent updates. Life, work, and other such activities tend to suck up that little bit of "free" time that I pretend to have.

Moving slowly but getting there eventually

"I'm a leaf on the wind"...or, in this case, a dandelion

Chocolate Fest 2014  Steampunk Baker in residence

Valentine's week was a bit crazy this year.
I swear I'm looking at a clown.

We really have been busy as bees

There may have been some fishing for compliments

What we look like after the holidays are over

It snowed a lot! For here that is.

We're not lying around, I promise.

Side note:
One of my favorite groups that has kept me from going completely crazy,
I think..well, mostly at least.
