I've been thinking real hard and I've decided I want to start a mini little cupcake/dessert catering business over the summer :D. What do you think? Ideas? I'm not sure what it's going to be called yet but I don't know, summers only two months away.. I better get started.

Have you listened to the new Kate Nash CD? AMAZING.

adele - baking is much easier than cooking so maybe you can ? it's very structured and really its rather impossible to mess up unless the recipe sucks or you don't follow the instructions :}

borderbasher - yes thats exactly what i was thinking ! and for events and such ! yeah i'm not quite sure either but i don't know anyone else around my area that does it so maybe i'd have a good chance ! thank you love <3
