Wow has it been a long time!! Sorry to the 3 of you who read this blog semi-regularly I've interrupted your summer reading a bit. To be fair, several people mentioned to us how they missed our blogging, so maybe if this baking thing fails we can just turn to blogging? Maybe...??
Anyway, it has been a crazy and unexpected summer, both good and bad, but as we roll full steam into August Pittsburgh Sweet Relief is back and baking, finally!
The past six weeks or so we have taken almost a complete hiatus from baking as we handled some personal items that took us away from the kitchen. We practically shut down our kitchen, only filling two orders, and focused more on friends and family that needed our help. We turned down quite a few orders, and if you're one of those people we turned down, we hope you understand that while baking is our love, family and friends come before any cake or pie or cookie.
Today we fired up the ovens for the first time in awhile baking some wonderful cupcakes for an order this week. It was so wonderful to load everything back up into the mixer and switch the power lever to "On" as if no time had ever passed. Eggs, sugar, vanilla, into the bowl they went. How did we leave our kitchen for six weeks?
That being said, we're still going to be taking things a little slow for the time being. Besides the fact that we have to get used to regularly baking again (and the awful dishes that come with that), we still would like to enjoy this last month of summer as well. August is definitely our favorite month of the year!
So stay tuned, we won't stay away so long this time, we promise! :-)
