The Orders Keep Coming!

Yeah!!! We have four orders so far for May! I have been amazed at what a great response I am getting from people. It is a good thing I finish up school tomorrow because it looks like I'm going to be busy the next couple of weeks. Thank you all for spreading the word! I have business cards now so if you would like some to give to friends, family and coworkers let me know.

Baby Mama

Okay so tonight Justin and I went with our friends Matt and Shelly to see Baby Mama. We have been counting down the days until it was coming out ever since the first preview we saw for it. And much as I expected it was hilarious but much to my surprise it was also very real and relatable. I expected the deep belly laughs which I definately got but I didn't expect the moments of fighting back tears especially not within the first five minutes of the movie and not in a movie with quirky stars like Tina Fey, Amy Poeler, and Steve Martin. However as I sat and watched Tina Fey portray this character that seemed to be able to see and think of nothing but babies I quickly became emotionally involved in her character. It really was a great movie- good for lots of laughs but also a sweet story so if you are looking for a good movie I would definately recommend this one.

Photos of first order







I am adding some photos of the cupcakes I made for my first real order which was delivered today. I delivered my second order today as well. I am also including photos of the cupcakes I made last weekend. And a photo of my business cards- I'm very excited to have business cards! It makes this seem so real! Wait it is real. Keep those orders coming in.

We got our first order!!!

Yippee! I got my first order for a birthday party- an Aggie birthday party! A friend from work asked me to make Aggie cupcakes for her son's birthday party next weekend. How fitting for me an Aggie to get to make Aggie cupcakes for my first order. I have also had many other people tell me they have upcoming events they want to order cupcakes for. Thank you all for spreading the word!

What is Babycakes?

BabyCakes is a cupcake business I am starting. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 4 years. We tried In Vitro a couple of months ago but it was not successful. As you may know this is an expensive procedure. We have decided to try again in June and if that is not successful we will proceed with the adoption process. This is where BabyCakes came in. I was reading and hearing about these cupcake shops that are all the rage across the country and I thought Abilene doesn't have a bakery specializing in cupcakes. So I decided this would be a means for bringing in some extra money for our baby fund. And BabyCakes was the perfect name for a cupcake shop started to make a little cash so we can bring home our baby. For now I will be baking out of my home but my dream is that one day I could open a chic cupcake bakery. So spread the word to all your friends and family and give us a call next time you need cupcakes for any event.
