My Very 1st Vendor Fair!

My boys school had a Vendor/Craft Fair this past weekend. I've been to them over & over but have never actually been in one. I've always baked for school functions, class parties etc. but never had the nerve to actually sell them. Well I went for it. I was nervous, like 1st day of school nervous but I went and I had a really good day. I met a very nice woman, Debra, who happens to make the most amazing lamps and it was her 1st fair also. Well, my goodies went over well. I was complimented on my presentation and I sold lots. People took my flyer & card so I'm getting out there. I am also looking forward to the next one! I also have to thank my Danielle, she made me a great flyer and kept pushing me to actually get started! And to my 2 sons, Matt & Nick who helped me set up & break down. I love you all to the moon & back!

A Fresh Start

I've always wanted to be a Chef. For as long as I can remember I've wanted to be able to own my own restaurant or sit down coffee shop. Well I got half of it right so far. I love to cook & bake for my family & friends. Every party, get together or celebration I was asked to bring one of my desserts. Out of this, "I'll Bring Dessert" was born. I am constantly adding to my list of goodies. Recently I've joined the cupcake craze. I love creating & designing cupcakes and creating delicious & decadent chocolate goodies. I've had great reviews so far.


This blog is my start. I'd like to get the business off the ground and running. So pull up a chair, relax a while and check out some of my goodies. If there is something you like or would like to talk about anything you see here, please feel free to ask.
