This past weekend, Jenn’s Custom Cakery made it’s debut out in public! It was so scary, a learning experience, but an alround fabulous time! I had my bestest friend in the world Kristy, helping me out, and for that I am so greatful, as I couldn’t have done it without her. Her husband Jeff stopped by on his way out for a snowshoe/hike (jealous! . . . where’s the cardio gone lately? . . . me not Jeff . . . he’s fit as a fiddle). I’ll post some new spin routines soon. If I don’t get so fat from cupcakes that I can no longer operate a keyboard that is. ANYWAY . . . Paul, my partner in business and LOVE (lol, it was so corny I had to put it in), made it up to be the official photographer of the Cakery as well!
Here are some of the pictures!

My friend Lisa, made the trip to set up her own booth with her card making partner Bonnie.
Some of their work is there for you to see!
There was a lot of self imposed pressure coming from this event. It was my first public showing (and we all know how brutal some people can be), and I wasn’t sure how it would go over. When we first got there, and were setting up (aka 18 trips to the car and back), everything was great!
That was until the SECOND cupcake lady walked in . . . with her cupcakes! Can you believe it? Two cupcake stands in a room half the size of an elementary school gym? I went from feeling great, to feeling sick to my stomach. I don’t think I talked to Kristy for the next 45 minutes. Her stuff was quite different from mine, so it could have gone really bad, for both of us! The Windermere Hall would have been a chilly place to be if everyone had been buying from only one of us!
No ice picks were needed and we both managed to be successful! I took up 11 dozen cupcakes and only came back with three lonely ones. Absolutely amazing! I was so happy! A special thanks goes out to my “helpers” and the ones who made the drive! Thanks Viv and Janine for making the drive and supporting me.
