Springing into April

It finally feels like spring outside!!  Well, minus the snow we had on our car this morning!  Is it too soon to say we've finally put this horrible winter behind us?

In our last post we posted about what dull February it was for our bakery, probably because everyone was too cold to order anything.  March started out with a trip we took to Texas (did you know Texas is warm, even in winter?  Because Texas is warm, and PSR may migrate south soon if next winter is awful too), and then we came back for a nice booming week of business.  Easter cupcake orders have come in, as well as two specialized cakes, and we have a separate cupcake order and wedding cake order currently in the works.  You'll be seeing this blog blow up in the next few weeks as we get underway with our spring time.

Speaking of Easter cupcakes, don't forget to place an order for yours, we only bought so many Cadbury Eggs for our cupcakes, and when we're out, we're out!  We already have half of the spots filled, so don't wait too long.

Check back here in the next few weeks, we'll be updating the blog more frequently with all of the wonderful creations we have in the works.  :-)  Can't wait to reveal them all!

Crazy Cakes

Hello friends!!  We are so sorry it has been so long since our last post.  This past month has been crazy with baking, family time, and, most importantly NEW JOBS!!  While our eventual goal is to open our own shop, we have to pay the bills for the time being, and we do that through a normal run-of-the-mill day job.  Except our day job has been pretty close to crappy recently, so we went out and found ourselves a new one!!  In case you can't tell, we're super excited.

We have some big surprises for you guys next week, but we can't let it slip just yet (you'll see why with our next post).  For now, though, we've been having a relaxing night at home finding new things on that vast internet to entertain ourselves with.  Thank you, Al Gore, for such an invention.  Would our parents believe that we can waste an entire night staring at a 13" screen at cats chasing lasers all evening? We're not even sure we do yet.

So we were on the internet tonight, looking for fun things to bake.  Sometimes the best ideas start with a ridiculous idea or post or blog.  And we stumbled across one of the coolest/oddest/best baking videos we've ever seen:

That's right everyone, you can bake a cake inside an egg!!

Is it bad that we automatically ran into our kitchen to see how many eggs we had in the fridge?  Sadly, not enough, and we were too tired after our run today to head out to the store to buy some more.  This might be an awesome weekend idea, though.  How fun would these be at Easter with beautiful dyed egg shells!

Have any other videos/blogs/recipes that have inspired you?  Post in the comment section.  We love find inspiration from the craziest of places.

Hope you're having a wonderful week.  Check back next week to see what all the hub-bub is about!!
