Monday morning, back to "work"


I think that Brooke & I are both still tingling from Saturday night. It felt like our very own debutante ball, being two girls from the South. We are eternally grateful that the bride & groom allowed us to contribute to their day and introduce their family and friends to Lovely at the same time. It was, of course, all about them and we were ecstatic to be there.

Now we're back to "work", which I define as the stuff that's not so fun to do. Budgets, number crunching, planning, planning, planning. Brooke is forever calming me down in that department, as I am the high-strung worrier and she is my laid-back counterpart. We just can't wait to get in the kitchen, open the doors to Lovely, and feed you all as much as you will allow us to! None of that will happen, alas, until finish our homework. We are so close. Almost there. Eating, breathing, & sleeping Lovely. We are at our "office", which is defined as any coffee shop with good lattes and free wi-fi. Brooke is going to "kill me" if I don't stop using quotes, either of the typed or air variety.

Tomorrow we will have keys to the space in hand, which will be a milestone of both of our dreams. (Commence butterflies in my stomach.)

Keep checking in with us. We look forward to sharing this journey with you!

Last night was awesome.


We catered our first wedding cupcake table last night and are so pleased with the results! It's crazy that yesterday morning began with full boxes of naked little cakes in paper cups... and in a few hours they were transformed into small works of art. They really looked beautiful and we had so much fun working on the project. We were invited to stay for the reception, where we enjoyed amazing food, cocktails and company and danced the night away. So many wonderful people, so much fun!
Today, I'm still reeling from the thrill... and my feet hurt from all the dancing. But last night I caught a glimpse of whats to come for us and our little bake shop, and I'm so excited I could cry.
