First Paying Gig!










Despite the disappointments of the last two months (and by no means do I mean baking ... I mean my relationship), I have begun to emerge as a stronger person and a more focused baketress. Through my journeys in flour, and butter, and sugar,
I have realized that I actually like who I am; something I could not say for certain before. But I digress ...


I was recently awarded my very first paid cupcake job. My friend Steph asked if
I could design some Cat in the Hat cupcakes for an upcoming baby shower. In light of my canceled engagement, I delved deep inside to find some inspiration. Here are the final products:










I am quite happy with how they came out. I did the designs on jumbo cupcakes, as the standard sized cupcakes did not give me a lot of surface area to work with. Luckily I was able to get all of these to fit on the cupcake tree. Steph told me that people took pictures at the party. If I get to see those, I will be sure to post them as well.

But, as for now, the Overdue Book Bakery really is open for business!!!

Holy cow! I love these cupcakes so much! You are a splendid cupcake artist. I am also quite jealous that someone liked your stuff so much they requested it for an important social event.
