Feedback Wanted!

Hello again my friends!

Today, just a quick posting that I would love your feedback on. Who better to give me feedback... after all, you are my friends, my followers and my customers. And, I love to hear your opinions and ideas!

So, a few things I'm rolling around in my brain, and I would like to know what you like best, what you want to see, what you have interest in.

First thing, I'm looking at setting up some party packages, such as 1st Birthday, Elmo, Mickey Mouse, Diva, Princesses, and Pirates. These party packs would include your choice of a 12 serving cake, cake pops, brownie pops, cupcakes and a cupcake stand all within the given theme. Each item is within a price per dozen category so it would be easy for party plannin' mammas to pull together all the treats they need to suit their party (like the main cake, loot bag treats, and displays), as well as easily being able to add up the total cost of their treats without requiring a quote or customization.

Second thing, I LOVE making cupcakes... obviously. Yes, I do really enjoy creating new and different cakes and rolling up cake pops, but I have a passion for cupcakes... and I would like to expand on that. That being said, if I were to expand my website and break it down into cupcake categories that make it easier to find the kind of cupcake you would like to try while still offering a greater variety of cupcakes, would that be of interest? I'm already working on cuptails (cocktail inspired cupcake flavors), cupfakes (savory cupcakes that are more like a dinner than a dessert), berry blossoms (vanilla base cupcakes filled and topped with different fruit and berry combinations) as well as a line of cupcakes that are masquerading as another treat, such as pie cupcakes, pancake cupcakes, cookie cupcakes, and brownie cupcakes.

Lastly, I'm thinking about opening a shop on etsy. I love etsy! Everyone on there is so creative, and so nice, I just think it would be fun to be a part of. Now, what would be in my shop, you might ask? I'm thinking again about party packs. I know there are a lot of moms, dads, aunts, uncles and cousins out there who love to bake things for their family, but maybe they don't have the time to decorate something fancy, they don't have the money to buy the zillions of tools required, or they're just not sure how to make what the birthday boy or girl would like. That's where I'd come in, offering packs with themed and coordinating baking cups, sprinkles, and custom made fondant/frosting sheet cupcake and cake toppers. These elements would make it easy for that ambitious baker to bake and frost their favorite cake and finish it beautifully with an elmo cake topper... or bake up some awesome cupcakes in pink and purple baking cups, top them off mini princess accents and sprinkle on some matching custom mix sprinkles. This way, you can still be the great baker in the family, and be a star by creating something beautiful.

So, what do you think? I would love to hear what idea strikes you, what idea you hate, what idea you love, what idea you would like to see me pursue first. Please comment below!!!

Until next time,
Happy baking, caking and decorating!

Love and sprinkles, xoxo
