This weekend is Halloween and people always buy their favorite candy to give out.
The favorite thing for me to get, by far, was a homemade popcorn ball. I think there are a couple of reasons for that. One is that my mother used to make over one hundred of them to give away on Halloween, and that and Christmas would be only times we would get the treats. The second reason is because they were homemade and you could taste the time and care that went into them. I think that is why I like having a little bakery, I can take some time and make things that people ask for, to make them feel as though their treat was special, just like a popcorn ball was to me. I hope when you come into the bakery you can taste the care we put into our treats, no tricks just honest to goodness ingredients and caring.

Boston Expo
This weekend will be pure pleasure to be at the bakery. Sara, Melanie and I are attending the Northeast Health Food Expo in Boston and everytime I go, I learn so much from the workshops and see so many different ways to prepare foods. This is also our last hurrah before Melanie goes to Texas for the winter and Sara and I prepare for our move into a permanent, bigger place. So I am posting the menu this week, but hope you will allow me a few differences if I find something incredible that I must try upon returning.

Columbus Day Weekend
It seems surreal that Columbus Day weekend is already upon us! We are catering a party of one hundred this weekend, have a wedding cake to make and two birthday cakes. But even better than all of that (which is great) I get to babysit my grandson on Friday night:) Melanie and Bryan are getting ready for their move to Austin, Texas for the winter and I will miss them like crazy!!! Luckily, my daughter Angela wants to work more at the bakery and she is an absolute joy! The new floor is in for the kitchen of the new bakery downtown and I am excited to put up shelving and begin the painting, just waiting on the state to say go ahead. Once we move the equipment into the kitchen we will be able to start painting the retail and coffee shop space as well. It looks like we are planning our move for after Christmas, if all goes as planned. Keep your fingers crossed and thank you for all the good wishes!
I hope to see you this weekend and that you enjoy this last burst of Early Autumn weather we are suppose to have.
