An Order to End All Orders

Ahhhh, fall!  Our favorite time of the year.  Crunchy leaves, bonfires, football, and pumpkin-flavored everything!  If winter didn't immediately follow it, it would be our favorite time of year!

We've had a busy month here at PSR (story of our lives), and we're still trying to get caught up with all of our blogging.  It always seems to come in spurts, but we're working on getting all up to date, promise!

A few weeks ago we had the honor of baking for Grove City College's homecoming weekend.    We didn't attend GCC, but a friend of a friend does and needed some cupcakes.

No, scratch that.  They needed a lot of cupcakes.  750 cupcakes, to be exact.

We wish we could show you how many cupcakes we had (well, we had 750 cupcakes, but we wish we could show you what it looked like!), but our phone went ka-put between the order and the blog post and we lost any good photos we may have had.  The only one still in existence is this very poor shot we took very late at night when we were too tired to care about silly things like lighting.

What made this order crazier is that we also booked a wedding for the same day.  So on top of all of this we had to make a wedding cake and 60 MORE cupcakes in addition to these.  But that's another story for another blog post.

What we loved about this order is it really challenged us to be creative -- we had to time manage like we've never done before, because most of our orders are relatively small and easy to knock out in a few hours.  It was an order that required us hiring additional help, making larger-than-normal size batches of batter, and staying up late making sure everything was iced and boxed and ready to go for an early morning delivery.  But when it was all said and done, it was a great opportunity to bake for the college.

And hey, for the first time in our lives a college owed us money instead of the other way around!!

Coming up this week we have a fun order for Geek Girl Brunch Pittsburgh, and if we're lucky we'll catch you up on the wedding we recently did too!  Fall orders are kicking in too, including our pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes.  Trust us, all you need is that and some apple cider and you're ready for the gorgeous weather!

We'll be blogging soon, we promise!!
