I won't take nothing from my journey now!

In the words of Maya Angelou, I wouldn't take nothing from my journey now.........

I feel truly blessed to have this chance to pursue my dream. I had to take a break from writing for a good reason, I have been swamped with orders!!!!!!!!!!!

Harmony had its first "Internet search" customer, Brandon P. All of our business so far has been generated by family, friends and folks at Nalah-B's school. It was so re-assuring that someone took the time to Google cupcakes in Cincinnati and found Harmony. Brandon P. ordered Carrot Craze and Apple Cobbler for a big tailgating party that he was hosting (2 dozen of each- ya-hooooo). I was really excited and nervous about this order b/c this one person represented all the other potential customers out there (in my head that is). I wanted to truly wow him and I did!!!!!!!! He e-mailed me within minutes after Chaka made the delivery to say that the cupcakes were Yummmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyy! This was such a relief b/c I I had not really perfected my Apple Cobbler recipe unil this order. I know it is risky but that is the product developer in me. All those years of last minutes obscure requests from customers while I worked in R&D truly trained me to take risks and be ultra creative in a pinch. The Apple cobbler cake out so great that Nalah-B (the sensory queen) said that I should add it to my menu all year round. We will see. The only dilemma that I have is how to decorate the top of the Apple cobbler cupcakes. The picture on the left is of the Apple Cobbler how they were delivered to Brandon. The one on the right is a variety box of leftovers that I sent to work with Chaka. The one with the dollop of icing on top is the Apple Cobbler. I am thinking that I like the dollop better b/c it shows the streusal topping underneath.

Well, gotta run. I will post more pictures of my other orders later.
