Dreams…

I've had quite a few people telling me recently that I need to open a bakery and sell all my deliciousness. I have thought about it for weeks… months even. And last night I had the craziest dream ever. I had a dream that I had my own bakery, and it was a very successful one at that! I'm not exactly sure where the location was but the shop was gorgeous and it very busy! I don't remember a ton of the details but the shop revolved around my Bella Designs logo, the cherry tree branch. It definitely got my brain to thinking. So I was considering selling some of my baked goods to family and friends locally. I think I will give it a shot and see how it goes.


So here is my game plan:
Over the next month I will start researching packaging materials and bulk baking supplies. While i'm doing my research I will create some order forms that can be printed off a blog I'll be creating specifically for my baking addiction :D. And then hopefully in August I will be able to go live with this project.

I will most likely start out with basic goodies like: chocolate chip cookies, white chip macadamia nut cookies, sugar cookies, chocolate chip peanut butter cookies,  buckeyes, basic cakes, cupcakes with a variety of options including some new frosting options I am trying out later this month.

Any insight or suggestion you may have please feel free to comment. I'm open to all possibilities.

Moto: Try everything at least once before you decide you don't like it. :D

Dear Creative Brain

Dear Creative Brain,

I know I have asked you this on multiple occasions, but why on earth do you insist on kicking in to "hyper_creative mode" at MIDNIGHT? I mean seriously, I am totally ready for bed and have like ten million wonderful creative thoughts running through my brain. And lets be honest… you and I both know I can't rest until I rough draft at least some of these glorious ideas!!

Please lets get on the same page and get our clocks synchronized… this is really messing with my sleep schedule. Here's to another 2AM night :D creating wonderful things…

Your loving human,

Ashley!!
