Is slated to be April 19. I still have a million things to do, a big empty space, and loads of errands to do. And paperwork to fill out. And make lists of the lists I have.
And I keep booking weddings like crazy! I already have 75% of my weekends booked for the rest of the year!
A new client of mine is having a "green wedding"; her cake and desserts (and dinner) is entirely organic ingredients. She got me thinking about expanding my menu to include organic baking; it's a hot market in this area, apparently.
Also, the only other bakery in this area just officially closed...okay enough rambling...

Back to work for me!

Congratulations and don't forget to post pics of your grand opening!!

Good Luck and Congratulation!

I have recently seen a newsprogram that was talking about "green weddings" It is a big trend right now and if you can "jump on that bandwagon" you should. From what I saw, you can charge more just because it is "green". (Not that money should be the only reason to do it.)

Keep us posted on your event. Let us know how it went.

AWESOME! That is so exciting. I wish you much energy and endless time!

I think expanding into organic is a great idea. I have read in several places that organic, vegetarian and allergy free are great markets to get into. And personally I think that the organic market seems like the easiest to deal with. Not too many peoplel are going to sue you because you slipped up and used regular butter!

Congratulations and best wishes again!

Congratulations!!!!!! I was looking at your website and read the testimonial that you recieved from the bride. What is really weird is my brother in law is named Brandon and he married a Maria. That is so odd.

Congratulations, I'm very happy for you.

Congratulations!!!! That is wonderful!

How exciting for you!! Not only the shop opening, but your bookings are going well before you even fling open your door! Looking forward to seeing your pics, too!

Congrats! Let us know how it goes!

congrats on opening your own! remember to let us know how it goes!!

Congrats!! I think getting into organic baking would be great and you definitely should. I'm currently experimenting with vegan/organic cake recipes so that when I find a place to set up shop I can offer them as well. I've been vegan/vegetarian for 6 years and have would love to have a "green" wedding myself.

Congratulations!!! I wish you much success in your new shop!!!

Super! Congratulations! I'd like to know what kind of advertising you did in advance to get so many bookings before you opened. Did you already have your name out there? That's really great.
