PO - not oral meds, but personal orders!

So the past few weeks since the bakers market have been school-filled but I've also managed to fit in some good quality time with family and friends!

The day after the bakers market, I had a birthday party for Ant and Bern so I decided to make them a birthday cake!


Since then, I've had two separate orders for birthday cupcakes as well!




Exams are in two weeks and after I have my shifts at work on Wed and Thur evening, I begin another full few days of baking my tush off!!! Mark your calendars, folks! May 8th is the day to come visit me again! :) This time, I'm making way less! I'll probably focus more on selling cupcakes cuz they seemed to be quite popular last time :)

Less than 7 weeks till Bangladesh!! I can't believe it. It's finally happening! AHhhh!!!

A bientot, mes amis!

Easter Bakers Market!!!

After a very long hiatus, I am back to blogging!

Things have been SUPER crazy as of late, but yet again, I'm glad to say that I've pulled through again. Not without help from my family and friends, of course.

I haven't really been doing much since my last bake sale - I had clinical rotations on Tue and Wed of this week and after I came home and showered, I went right to prepping and packaging! My dear friend Vincent was over until around 2am that night helping me package and cut labels and such. On Thur, I had a little production going on here! And by little, I mean big. And by production, I mean I have some of the greatest friends anyone could ask for. I had 5 friends (Carmen, Chris, Crystal, Lawrence, and Vincent) helping me package, cut business cards, and just keep me company. Henry did a great job with the banner and designing the business cards. He made so many versions of business cards and banners for me!

Yesterday night was crunch time! My entire family was sitting here putting together packages and shamelessly promoting for me on facebook.

I think that the vast majority of my sales went to my friends and there were only about 10 ppl from the general public who bought stuff from me. I honestly am so just.....moved by everyone and their generosity. I made over $1,300 today and excluding my table rental and ingredients, I made about $1,100.

Here are some pictures!






Thanks for all the support, everyone! <3
