i am having keyboard issues, so pardon the typo's.

I was just at "The Fresh Market" a gourmet grocery store here in Chattanooga that I totally love picking up a few items that i had forgotten the day before. i had my 4 year old son with me and he was being especially helpful. i am sure glad that he was, cuz an older couple stopped and complimented me on his behavior. to make a long store short, we started talking and they asked me what i do for a living. i told her i was a Sugar Artist and that i do cakes.

Turns out this woman is a major influence in the social scene, a food critic and is in charge of planning a good majority of the social events for most of Chattanooga. We exchanged information and she wants to help me get a business going here in Chattanooga!

I about fainted. Just had to share this amazing experience.

I just love that comment, a modern update of:

God moves in mysterious ways...

Serendipity might have presented the opportunity, but you're going to wow them with your cakes!!!

Your son should be very proud of himself, being the good helper.

Please keep up posted, but for right now - YOU GO GIRL icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif

Thanks everyone for your support. I've been busy baking the cakes for the Halloween cake I'm doing, so I've been away from the computer.

I don't feel worthy or ready for this, so I'm sure going to be doing a LOT of practice over the next few weeks.
