Rainout

We tried, really we did. Harbourfest was tonight, and despite the
rain we set up during a brief moment of clear skies. Managed to sell about 5 cupcakes before the rain started again, this time not letting up. It's so discouraging to go through all that work just to pack up and go home, but when the rain starts blowing sideways and the cupcakes are getting soaked, it's time to call it a day. Too bad

It was just one of those days all around. Last night around 11 pm as Mom and I were finishing the cookie order for this morning, she stopped suddenly and looked at me..."What about that cake the lady ordered for tomorrow?" OH NO!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW that would happen eventually. I totally let that slip my mind even though I had written it on two calendars. At least, thank Heaven, Mom remembered it BEFORE it was due.

So, on to making the actual cake. Easy-peasey, right? Nope. The darn thing stuck to the pan and then proceeded to collapse as I was frosting it. It was to be delivered at 2:30, but here I was at noon baking a new one. Anyway, in the end, it worked. The customer was thrilled and I hope they enjoyed their celebration.

Tomorrow's plan...to buy yet ANOTHER calendar....this time a large, wall-sized one to be posted where I can't miss it.

Here is a look at one of our new flavors...Pistachio. Yumm!
