Back up plan........

So, Chaka, the King, (aka my hubby - I will explain the king bit at a later date) was indulging me during a moment of self doubt. I was devising a back up plan in case Harmony Cupcakes is never a go (self doubt is normal, right?????). I proclaimed back in July that I would never work for corporate America again. I mean I am so serious when I say NEVER, EVER, EVER. Ok, of course when Harmony Cupcakes is so big that I have to have a corporate headquarters, I will have no choice but to work in corporate, but that is so different b/c I will be the President and CEO and I vow that I will never treat my team the way that I was treated during my time in corporate America.

Here is the back-up plan, I told Chaka that I would become a world renown cake decorator if Harmony does not fly. I mean I have been taking a cake decorating classes at Cincinnati Candy and Cakes over the past month to get out the house and do something other than plan to launch a business. My teacher, Linda told me that I have come along way in just 3 short weeks. Just look at the picture above, yes folks I made the clown. I know, I am gifted, right? I could win a Food Network Challenge tomorrow if I had to. I mean who wouldn't pay to have Rafiki the clown on their cake? I know you would. Go ahead, you better hurry and place your order for Rafiki before the holiday rush at. Ok, I will tell the truth, I suck at cake decorating. Actually, one of the reasons I dropped out of the CIA to go to OSU and study food science is b/c I am not very good at cake decorating or sugar and chocolate work. I just do not have the patience. I bow down to Duff of Ace of Cakes and even my teacher Linda b/c they have the patience and talent to decorate such intricate pieces of art that people are just going to shove in their mouths. That is why I love cupcakes, you can make them look pretty with out spending hours decorating them and people are still totally impressed.

As for my back-up plan, I don't need one b/c Harmony Cupcakes will open its doors, even if Chaka has to go down to Over the Rhine and show a little leg, just kidding, um kinda....

Peace and Blessings until tomorrow.
