I got da berry blues




Just a quick post. It is crazy busy over here. I am preparing for the big Jack and Jill event this weekend. This is the big even where Harmony Cupcakes beat out several other local bakeries including the Sheraton in Sharonville where the event is being held. All of my specialty ingredients are here but I still have a trip to Sam's Club or GFS for sugar and butter. I am excited but nervous about this event. The planning committee was really hard to please and I do not want to disappoint. They put great emphasis on elegance and I just want the customer to be satisfied. I ordered a cupcake tree that holds 300 cupcakes, and I am spending the next 2 days decorating it. Keep me in your thoughts. I will be sure to take pictures for you.
My mommy is also coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has not been out to visit since May, which is the longest we have gone without seeing one another.
Anywho, I gotta get Nalah-B off to gymnastics practice.
More to come soon.
Oh, I almost forgot......the cupcake pictures are from last week's pretty in pink strawberry and I got da blues order. They were a huge hit at 53rd Bank!

thanks for the info. I went to the site and the cupcake stands are very nice. I was looking for something that I could re-use. The only catch is that Jack and Jill wanted to display 300+ cupcakes on one tree. I kept telling them that my presentation options would be a bit limited with so many cupcakes. In the end, I have to meet the customers needs even if they don't want to hear what I have to say.

that's a lot of cupcakes!! BUT: I was planning on using the trees and charging the refundable deposit of $200 (with a rental fee of $25 maybe?) That way if it's never brought back, you're not out all that money.
good luck!!
