Where is everybody?
So is everyone so busy? No time to blog anymore? Well l I have a minutes so I'll update you guys on my life.
1. I got the account at Blend cafe in Portland, so I am making bluebery muffins, trail mix muffins, chocolate chip cookies and trail mix cookies 3 time a week for the cafe. It is exhausting, but fun. I have some great moments when I'm in the kitchen alone when it hits me and then I feel pretty excited about the state of thimgs, even if I'm working 12 hour days!
2. I got inspected by the health inspector and have my own offical liscence to make food!
3. I have a busness bank account with $68 in it
4. I have spent a lot of money in 3 days getting ready for the health inspector and buying supplies and paying for my license (thank you grandpa!)
5. (I need grandpa's address, I have an outdated thank you note for him)
6. I need an accounting program/plan - any ideas
I'm exhausted and need to muster the strength to make some dinner so I'm gunna go but I'll leave you with some hawaii pictures where I learned how to open a fresh coconut on a pickax!

Baking Baking Baking Day & Night
So as you all know things in the baking area of my life are picking up, and I had my first meeting with a cafe yesterday. Luckily I was with Morgan (Dovetail Bakery/friend/employer) so she could answer questions that I hadn't even thought of yet. In the last 24 hours I had been baking for 18 or more hours with a brief break for sleep, in preperation for this meeting. It went well, she really liked the trail mix cookies, the chocolate chip cookies, the tarte tatin, and the maple carrot cake,and the madeleienes. She even sent a follow up email expressing how surprised she was that the vegan goods tasted so good and that she wouldn't have even known they were vegan. Quite a compliment.
Now I'm in the "oh shit what have I done" phase. If she likes them enough to order some my life is gunna get crazier then it already is.
Here are some blurry rushed photos of the goods:
