Wow - what a weekend! It started THURSDAY and did not come to an end until a long, long Sunday was over.

Thursday, we made a batch of the "secret" yummy goodies that we were recently FDA inspected for. They were delicious, but the consistency was off just a little bit. So, back to the drawing board! The soup and salad was super super busy - topping off another record breaking week! (That's two in a row!)

Friday was, in a word, CRAZY. It should have been an indicator to how insane Saturday would be but we were too busy to notice!

Saturday... Phew, just thinking about it makes me sigh and feel absolutely exhausted! We had about 20 cake orders to fill and a big catering event at Trenton Hall on Antique Alley in West Monroe. One big wedding cake, tiered birthday cakes, shower cakes, and anniversary cakes. It was a mad house in here! Every flat surface and anything that would stand still long enough was holding a cake. In fact, Saturday was so busy that it spilled over into Sunday and we had to finish 6 of our cakes on Sunday.

Today was another busy, manic, and fast Monday. Two cake orders. One was three cakes for the Habitat for Humanity. They are dedicating the three houses they just finished builing tonight and we did cakes for each family that would be moving in. Then we did a marbled chocolate cake with fudge icing for a birthday. Talk about delicious!

We also introduced a new kind of cupcake today: The Treasure Chest cupcake. It's a cupcake with a sweet surprise inside! Today's versious:

1. An exquisite chocolate cupcake with cream cheese filling and cream cheese frosting, dubbed the "Make Your Monday Better Cupcake"
2. The Reese's Surprise: chocolate cupcake with peanut butter chips inside and peanut butter frosting, drizzled with chocolate and topped off with a Reese's Peanut Butter cup
3. The Original - a white cupcake with a sweet surprise inside topped with chocolate frosting. It could be anything in there - a Hershey's kiss, M&M's, Snickers.... You never know! That's part of the surprise.

Word to the wise - if you come in and ask for a Treasure Chest cupcake, make sure to have us warm it up for you so the surprise will be ooey, gooey and that much more titillating!
