    new poll is up! woot!
    (see link in sig)

    I'm proud of you nat! I had gained so much weight back and finally decided to try something new, now I wait to eat until I'm hungry, turns out I eat like 1/3 of what I was eating if I dont force breakfast on myself. So I'm a weirdo. I'm down 8lbs so far so it seems to be working!

    Our cupcake biz is really taking off. We have over 100 facebook fans and 200 unique hits to our website in a month. Between the 3 of us we invested about $500 in advertising, packaging and supplies- and we've made back over half of it. I'm pretty damn stoked. I think we're going to open an interest bearing bank account and start hoarding $$ to open a shop or something. :)

    I totally gorge whenever I'm hungry. It's funny what works for different people. I've discovered that eating small, healthy meals works for me. I also think ahead to what I'm going to eat to make sure I don't double up on carbs and fat. For example, I got a protein platter at Starbucks this morning and almost got a scone too. But I decided not to because we're having lasagna tonight.

    We bake at a borrowed commercial kitchen for now, and then deliver them with our personal vehicles. Our town is very small, so we offer free delivery, but I imagine in bigger cities a surcharge would help. Most people tip us at least $5 when we deliver. We bought all of our cupcake packing stuff from plasticcontainercity.com We pack them in the single, two, four or six hole plastic containers with the lid. They're clear to-go looking boxes. For now, we're not paying to use the kitchen, and we only use it a couple times a week, so that's super helpful with keeping the cost low. Like I said, it was about $500 to start up, but that was with business cards, car magnets, t-shirts, banners, cupcake stands, all the packaging, all the labeling and permitting. Thankfully, there are no other cupcake only places where I live, so we kinda have the market cornered. But in the next biggest town (an hour away) there are three that are all doing pretty well.

    Are you doing wedding cupcakes yet?

    Mel's were DELISH!! The salted caramel cupcakes were a SMASH.






    Mini and regular sized cupcakes on that beautiful huge display.

    That is a bad ass idea! We're doing a lot of special orders lately- but mostly for mothers day, birthday parties, etc. I hope some day we branch out and end up doing weddings and more stuff like that.

    P.S. Thanks for the facebook likes, you guys. <3

    I think it's awesome that it's going so well! A friend of mine just dropped out of her PhD program and wants to be a cupcake baker here in Milwaukee. I told her to think beyond cupcakes (try to start the next trend) just because it seems like they're at a saturation point. I think Milwaukee has at least 4 major cupcake boutiques. If she set up in a small Wisconsin town, she might do okay, but to start up in a metro area seems super risky. Did I give her bad advice?

    And seriously, I wish I'd seen your site a week ago so I could have ordered some super fun cupcakes for my friend's wedding. And I'm dieting right now and those pictures are killing me!

    Also, if you pay for overnight fees- I will bake you cupcakes at a discounted rate and mail them to you. (with the frosting in a seperate bag so they don't get soggy).
