Back at Lily Petal

Dear Journal,

After a 4 week absence I finally baked a batch of chocolate cupcakes today to put to the Lily Petal Cafe from tomorrow onwards. While I was away MooMoo was getting the cake-man at her bakery (who I don't particularly like btw) to make cupcakes and put to the Cafe so that we wont loose the existing customers. However, since he is a lazy git (pardon my language) he was making some less than fabulous cupcakes!

So I spent the better part of an hour making a poster to advertise that The Sugar Shack cupcakes are back in stock at the Cafe printed it and gave it to Pops (my father) to put up at the cafe.... But he doesn't want to saying that people are going to get confused as to what cupcakes they were eating these past few weeks and as to which are the authentic SS cupcakes and which aren't. Which I get. But still, I really hope they don't think that the lazy-man-cupcakes are the same as mine.

Not an earth shattering problem but just a little issue I had in my little world today....... *Sigh*

Sorry....

Dear Journal,

So sorry for the long long absence! Just when I was getting fully into this baking thing I was given the opportunity to work for the Cricket World Cup being held in SL this year. And since I was unemployed and trying to 'find myself' I jumped at the opportunity! So that's what I've been doing for the last 4-6 weeks! I was in Hambantota for a week then worked the Colombo matches and then was shipped off to Kandy for nearly 10 days.

Hands down this is the most exciting thing I have ever done. Working with ICC officials, traveling around the country, gaining access to the players dressing rooms (yes, I said it, the dressing rooms) and getting to watch every single match for free! There are 2 more matches left in SL, one Quarter Final and one Semi Final and in a matter of 7 days I will have to return to my boring, regular life! and find a proper day job! LOL!

As a result I've not had the time of day to bake. But now I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things (plus I'm kinda broke as hell). So once again, apologies for my long silence. I'm back now.

Arubuster.
