Sweet Tooth!

For those of you that haven't heard, I have started a baking business called Sweet Tooth! 

I had been excited a few months back about starting this up, but never quite found the motivation to get it going. It was a little overwhelming just thinking about it. My sister in law, Chrissy, gave me a very motivational speech one day, and from then on I've been so excited about it all. (Thanks so much for that CC!!)

I started a facebook page to spread the word, and jumped online to order some business cards. I realized that I had to start baking more to create a "portfolio" of sorts, so that people are able to see my work. I plan on taking more classes very soon, so that I can improve my skills. There are a lot of things that I have yet to learn. I'm so excited about this though. Here are some of the sweets that I've been making lately!

This is the famous carrot cake that I give my mom credit for. She came across this recipe one day and made it on my birthday. Ever since then, it's pretty much a staple at any of our birthday parties. Thanks mom! I know people are really going to love it! 

I got a few Valentine orders, and experimented with different flavors and designs. This was a carob cupcake with buttercream icing. I actually decorated this rose by accident, and loved it. It was perfect for the holiday. <3

This was a carob cupcake with peanut butter icing. My friend Stacey had ordered this for her husband, and I also made a batch for Jody per Chrissy's request. They both loved them! Oh, I have to tell a funny story!

My friend Stacey wrote me to order 6 cupcakes for her husband Erik. Erik is a personal trainer and it trying to cut weight for a fight that he is doing...and Stacey is part of a Biggest Loser contest at her school. So, they only wanted 6! I was excited to make them for him.

The next week Erik wrote me to make 6 cupcakes for Stacey!!! Haha. He also requested a caloric intake count on each cupcake. I'm thinking that I'm in trouble. They only want 6 cupcakes..and they are soon going to have 12!!! Haha. It was fun trying to keep it from each of them though. From what I understand, they were able to share with friends and co-workers, so I didn't feel so bad. 

I didn't have any luck figuring out the caloric intake though. If anyone knows how to help me with that, that would be a big help! :)

This was a white cake with key lime icing. I had never had this flavor before...but Chrissy insisted that people would love it! She was right. It was pretty awesome! :)

This was Stacey's batch of cupcakes for Erik about to head out the door! This will not be a standard package. I really liked it...but it's not "the one". Hopefully I can find a good supplier for cute containers soon. 

This past week...I made a carob chip cupcake with cream cheese icing. It was AMAZING! Seriously, I think that it was my best cupcake yet! Everyone that had one loved it (except my mom)! She's not a fan of chocolate chips.

This was an owl cake that I made for Chrissy! She loves owls! She has been such a big help with my business so far. She has the best ideas, and has sent me a lot of referrals. She has helped tremendously with the facebook page. I really appreciate it CC! I hope that you like your cute little cake! :)

This was the first official order that went out. My friend Sonya that I went to high school with contacted me and wanted a dozen vanilla cakes with vanilla icing. I was so excited! She was very happy with them, and said that they loved them! :)

This is a proof of my business card! Just for the record, if you order with Vista Print...when you choose slow shipping...it's SLOW shipping!!! I've been waiting for quite a while, but it's what I requested so they are doing a good job and fulfilling my request!! Hopefully they will look awesome, so that I won't feel so bad about it. :)

Thanks for looking!
