190 seconds of Fame and some Christmas Cupcakes!

11Dec

What a morning!!!! I’ve really been trying (without much success) to kick my bad habit of procrastinating, but lately waiting until the last minute always seems like the most practical solution….for everything!

Which explains why I was up until 1 a.m. last night making cupcakes and back up at 5a.m. this morning to get ready for my debut on Fox 5 news! My alarm blasted on and I kept sawing logs until Ross came in my room and dragged my butt out of bed. (Everyone should know that this scenario is usually the other way around….Ross is NOT a morning person:) Jumped out of bed far from bright eyed and bushy tailed, threw some clothes on, put my hair in a pony, and drove down to the bakery to get my “cupcake” on.

You know the old saying “shaking in my boots?” Well, that was me….literally. I don’t have the greatest track record on giving presentations and I usually end up saying something completely embarassing…which is why I was wishing the newscast was not live. Sitting in the Theatre waiting to go on was nerve racking but when it came down to it and the camera man said “you’re about to go on” I was suddenly as calm as a cucumber. It was fun and definitely a rush! Hmmmm…..maybe I should look for a new career in the news business???

Nah…I would miss making little beauties like these too much!

Hello Cupcake World!

This is my first business, my first website, my first blog…EVER! Exciting right?! Well that…and scary! Good thing I have lots of help! My brother Ross is actually on his way down from Michigan now and is expected to arrive tomorrow night. I can’t wait! Siblings united at last! I think we’ll go to midtown to celebrate on Saturday. Maybe flip flops? Maybe Opera? Maybe both? Hmmmmm…. any suggestions?!

Some random facts about myself:

  • I’m 22.
  • I was an American Girl Doll addict until I was 14.
  • I owe all of my cake decorating skills to my former boss Kim Sperl.
  • My aunts are my biggest role models.
  • I LOVE little dogs.
  • I’m an Alpha Xi Delta.
  • I truly believe I was born in the wrong era. 50′s would’ve been much more my style.
  • I am currently knitting a pink sock monkey that I have no purpose for and have no idea what I will do with it when it’s finished…that is, if it ever gets finished.

That’s it off the top of my head…much much more to come!
