Opening Day!!!

Today was the farmers market!!! I had a great time. Everyone was so nice! I can't wait until next Saturday to go back.

I sold 21 cinnamon rolls, 11 bags of cookies, 3 chocolate covered pretzel rods, and maybe 5 or 6 bags of chocolate covered pretzels. Made a pretty good profit.

There were a lot of people that were interested in the cinnamon rolls but couldn't have them because they needed to have something that was gluten free. So that is my new project this week. I need to figure out how to make gluten free cinnamon rolls!

I think I might be in the newspaper too!! I'm so excited. I'm going to contact them and find out if they are going to run an article about me, if so then I'll buy a copy and scan it to show you all.

There really isn't much else to share. I had a great day! It seemed like if I had someone standing at my booth then more and more people would come up to buy. Plus once someone was walking around with a cinnamon roll in their hands everyone would ask about it and come right over to me.



It feels really good to be making my own money for something I did. I really can't wait to go back next weekend.

Note to self

Wear shoes when baking.

My feet hurt...

I just spent 2.5 hours making chocolate covered pretzels! The chocolate kept falling off of the pretzels in chunks though, it was weird. The white chocolate didn't turn out as great as I had hoped. But luckily they still taste amazing! That's all that matters, right?

You'll just have to wait until Saturday for pictures. I can't wait to share everything from that day with you all.

I got my vendor number last night!! I'm number 8. It's perfect because it's Gabe's favorite number. I think its a great location too. Well I hope it is. And if its not than I will make it a great location!

I think tomorrow night I will make cookies, Thursday night I will make chocolate covered pretzels again, then Friday will be cinnamon rolls. I still have to print off all of my labels, signs, and maybe some business cards...

Still lots to do, but I can't wait!!!
