I’ve been working on and off at getting great gluten free recipes, and I am pretty sure this chocolate is the best yet.
I had a customer ask for gluten free, chocolate and girly.

When this custom order came in, I was a wee bit excited.
Because I have been counting down the days for school to start LIKE CRAZY. I love my children, but it is time to GO BACK.
I cannot believe all 4 kids will be in school, even if two of them are still only morning preschool. Shaye walks around the house in her Dora backpack like she is the hottest thing in the world.
Rebecca Stickels owns The Palm Gifts and was having a back to school get together, evidently she is as excited for school to start as I am! 
I’m so disappointed I didn’t get more pictures of these, but Saturday was insanely busy and I just flaked!
Can you tell which princess is which?
For a 1st birthday!
Elmo is the world’s most unscary monster.
Shaye has an entire week’s worth of Elmo undies, so when I was asked to do these for a customer, I knew I would have to make a few extra to keep.
I’m not a huge fan of food coloring in frosting, but I’m not always paid for my opinion.
I’m trying not to totally lose my mind. Why in the hell are my kids not back in school yet, because it has felt like summer F O R E V E R! The business side of my life has taken over everything else, so I have to re-learn how to juggle “work,” without forgetting the laundry. Or the kids. I know that once school starts up I will have more time to figure out how to organized my time, but right now I’m a raging mess of attention deficit.
So um, what have I been doing.
The bakery is still in the architectural phase, I’m praying that this week we can get the plans to contractors and get the bids back quickly–really, this portion should be over and done with. I can’t purchase things. So I wait.
It’s comparable to a first trimester pregnancy, with a raging case of morning sickness where you pray to get over the hump, but the minutes feel like hours.
We are still watching the caterpillar. I know you are all waiting with baited breath for the updates on “Troopa the swallowtail” (Brinn named it) and you’re just too shy to comment about it. I’ll post the pictures when the chrysalis changes colors becuse as of this morning, he still looked like a green goober with horns.
Um, I had to put Circe on a diet. Girlfriend has eaten so many cake crumbs lately that she looks like a hairy, bloated balloon.
We had another nice plug in the Fort Mill Times for the 400 mini cupcakes for Miller Street Dance Studio’s birthday bash! Linky Lou HERE and here is the pic Jenny O’s took
And as you probably know, I’ve been a Cupcakes Take the Cake stalker for five years now. I found the site when I was pregnant with Brinn and wanted C A K E– so when they liked my cupcakes the first time, I about had a heart attack. Well, they liked a few more this weekend 
Cupcakes Take The Cake Link
As for cupcakes, I’ve been good about posting on the business facebook page but crappy over here on my blog because I am SUGAR BOMBED. It started with 250 wedding cake pops, and turned into almost five hundred cake pops- NO JOKE. For reference purposes:
This was HALF of them
And baskets.
Baby Showers-
One order for peeps at Britax to match a nursery
and another baby shower for another baby boy
and these super fun ”sweet 16″s for a candy themed birthday bash.
OH-And a giveaway on facebook, too. I’m still working on the logistics of that so I don’t break rules and get a fine. Because that would just suck.
Hopefully the WEBMASTER will have www.cupcrazed.com functional for me soon, too! (hint hint, nudge nudge)
Anyhoser, that’s where we’re at. I’m all over the place, not sleeping, definitely drinking, and always baking.
