Sweet Talk

Fall has finally blown in, along with the leaves off the trees, and while I’m sitting at home in my sweatshirt and slipper socks sniffling and choking down Echinacea tablets I must apologize for not posting for such a long period of time. Much has happened in my world since the beginning of school, keeping my schedule demanding and from posting on the Dulcet Dialogue. But at last, for I am home with nothing but time and a tissue box, I am sitting down at the keyboard to write.
            One sweet, literally, piece of news that I will write about is my establishment of a baking company.
            The business is called Bite Me, and I bake mainly cookies and cupcakes. I embarked on this adventure because of two reasons: I am good at baking and I want to make money. I have always been known as “The Cupcake Girl” because I often bring in my new creations to school for my friends to try. Whenever people take a bite, the rest of the cupcakes soon vanish and satisfied, frosting mustached smiles appear. So I figured, why not start a small business and earn some money for all of this baking! Thus, Bite Me Bakery was born.
            This endeavor has proved to be helpful in more ways than one though; In addition to the profits I’m making, I am also learning how to manage a business. My parents have helped me get started; they bought the first bags of flour and assisted in setting up a fancy chart to keep track of supply costs, profits, customers, and things of the like. Other than that, however, I’m running my baking company solely by myself. I’m doing well so far, in the first week I have had multiple jobs and even have some large catering orders for a birthday party and a community event.

            Despite my new-fangled cupcake wages, however, I’m still baking for my friends and will continue to do so. After all, they’ve always been my trusty guinea pigs.
