It's only 12 days into October, but my oh my has it been a whirlwind crazy month already! So let me tell you a little about it...
The craziness started the very first day of October....when I had four weddings! Who's the crazy baker with a new baby who decided to take on four weddings?? This lady right here! I rationalize this by telling people they were all smaller weddings (250 and under) and only one had to be set up by me. This last bit is always an advantage, but also means I usually miss out on getting setup photos, which is always a bummer!

One of four weddings from October 1- this one I set up in a beautifully remodeled barn!
Even with a new baby, this four wedding weekend probably wouldn't have been too crazy for me...but I also had a 720 cupcake order (all decorated) three days later, moved the day after and closed on the selling of our house two days after that!! So if it has taken me longer to respond to customers you now know why.
Trust me I didn't plan for last week to be so insane, it just kind of happened. I've had the big 720 cupcake order booked for a very long time...then we sold our house and the closing date just so happened to fall during that week. So we made it work!
The 720 cupcake order was a big deal for me. It was for Hoard's Dairyman and was delivered to the World Dairy Expo in Madison. Now that's a herd of cows!

My life the first week of October was bake, bake, bake...pack, pack, pack....snuggle, snuggle, snuggle baby. Which brings me to baby Wyatt. I am soooo lucky to be able to go through all this bakery craziness with him by my side. My mom semi-retired when I had him...so even though I had long days the bakery, he was right there with me! My mom is kind enough to come along on my long days and take care of him while I fill orders so that I don't have to go hours on end without seeing him. To make things even easier, we are currently living in my parents basement (we sold our current house, and the our new one isn't ready to be moved into yet!). This made moving a bit harder and makes contacting customers a bit complicated (no cell service), but makes packing up and going to the bakery with grandma in tow a bit easier. Thanks mom!!
Things have slowed down a bit this week, but not by much! Thanks to everyone for their patience with me in my delayed responses and thanks for all the continued orders! Wyatt was pretty wiped out by the crazy beginning to the month too.... :)
