We are busy this April, which excites me. March was pretty boring, but you'll have those moments in any business. We have 3 dozen cupcakes ordered, a cake to prepare, and a meeting with a bride for a wedding cake...you heard me right, a wedding cake. *fist pump* So there will be lots of baking going on in the coming month, which greatly excites m\us.
In other news, we are trying to go organic at PSR, and we're starting at home with some old-fashioned plant life. We're all about healthy eating (crazy, I know, we are trying to start a bakery), and while we love decadent treats that make your mouth water, we also believe in moderation, and mixing those treats with some better-for-you alternatives like low-sugar cupcakes, gluten-free cupcakes, and all natural organic. Don't worry, guys, we make all of these!
So we spent the weekend planting lots of strawberries...some we bough, certified organic, from a local nursery. Others we planted by band, to see how we can fair growing them from scratch. But we are bound and determined to get these strawberries growing in time for strawberry season.
Have you ever had a strawberry cupcake? Better question, have you ever had a PSR strawberry cupcake? If not, you definitely need to make a goal to try some. They are one of our favorite cupcakes ever, and trust us when we say we've tried a lot of cupcakes!! Sweet, moist, and full of summer flavors, we can't stop making them. And what can make our strawberry cupcakes even better? Knowing our strawberries are home grown, organic, and free of chemicals we don't want in our system.
We're hoping to really make this a yearly thing, and if you have any other ideas for fruits to plant, give us a shout out. There's something about baking that's so much better when you grew some of the ingredients yourself!
For now, though, enjoy this beautiful weather!!! It's springtime in Pittsburgh!
