Did you know that meepcakes has a facebook page, as well as a twitter page? It's true. I don't know how I managed to put those up, considering that I like the technology I use to be on the same skill level as a microwave, but I did it.
This market season has been lots of fun so far, and quite a learning experience. I've met so many cool new people and I'm figuring out how to run a bakery as a business rather than something I do for fun. For example, I learned that if you make beautiful cupcakes in an air conditioned environment but then bring them to an open air market that's eleventy-billion degrees outside and try to sell them, passers by will give you looks of mixed pity and disgust. Poor buttercream frosting. It just doesn't stand a chance in heat and humidity. But cookies do hold up in the heat, and have turned out to be a crowd favorite. One day when I have a storefront, cupcakes and cookies can coexist in harmony and air conditioning.
I hope you're all having a wonderful summer, and look forward to seeing you at the market! Stop by and say hi. Hugs and high fives are free to all.
