A look into the past and a jump into the future

So wow, I have not written a blog in a while, I guess with this crazy schedule, I was putting it off until I had more time.  Now I realize that I don't need to Blog everyday, I can Blog when I feel it's necessary.  What a great feeling.

Since I have last written my thoughts on this site, a lot has changed over here and it's incredible to read my first ever post that started in December 2010. 

As I sit here this morning with my, ah hem, "cup of coffee", I decided that I will start writting my blog again.  So I opened up my first post and read about my life 9 months ago.  I was obviously in a crossroads career wise in my life and was looking for something "creative" to do.  Well as some of you may know I started cake poppin in March of 2011. After what was just a thought in my head became a small business that I am quite proud of today.

The idea for cake pops started back in 2005 when my first daughter was born, I was home on maternity leave and happen to watch the Martha Stewart show, on that show was a woman who called herself Bakerella, I remember thinking, what a great name for her company, Brilliant!  she showed the audience and Martha of course, how to make a cake pop.  "Wow", mini cake that looks like a lollipop and shaped into characters, I'm intrigued!  But how can I start such a project with a newborn baby and a job, husband and a whole houseful of other things? I really just could not.  So I googled the recipe and threw it in my "saved mail " folder until I found the time.  Fast forward 5 years and another daughter later, I start seeing these "pops" at starbucks, on blogs, and just random places, I thought to myslef, If there is a time to do this, it's now, because if I don't someone else will and I will kick myself for it.

This is the original recipe I followed....
