The wait continues, but it is close.....

I know that making a website isn't an easy task. I also get that there is a lot of coding and blah, blah, blah. I really am waiting ever so patiently for my website!! Not being a techi in any way really, just kind of scraping by with what I do know. I feel like I am an impatient restaurant goer that thinks the second that they have verbalized their order, the kitchen staff start on the food. They look at their watches, or cell phones counting the seconds that they have waited. Within 5 minutes they have given you that pathetic look that says, 'where's my food'?

I would love if I had ever had the courage to say, 'really can you cook it faster at home? we are just doing what you would do at home. The only difference being we cook and clean up after. You still have to pay money to some establishment that will provide you with sustenance. So relax on the looks and realize that the food doesn't magically make itself, someone is actually doing it manually'!!

Alas, as much as that would have been very enjoyable, and satisfying I never did voice how I felt. Here I am sort of being that customer, and I get it to a degree. I am also not known for my patience. I want what I want when I want it. And I don't see a need for there to be any wasted time in between. Time is of the essence, and every moment is precious.

The days are counting down for me, and I know that 'all good things come to those that wait'. I am truly just like a kid on Christmas morning, they come down stairs and see all the presents. Knowing which ones belong to them, cause they sneaked a peak when mom and dad weren't around. Yet they want to open them and, NOW!! I have sneaked a peak, and now I am plutzing waiting for that day that I can unwrap my website to the whole world.

I have had some very exciting moments, in my so far pretty good 33 years of living. I have traveled through Europe, and lived over seas. Loving the culture and architecture, and feeling so alive standing in the middle of Dachau, in Munich, Germany. All of my adventures have been exhilarating, and life changing. Never though have I felt as alive as I do right now. I am looking forward to sharing my excitement with everyone that I can. Knowing that all of us have an inner child, I have released mine and it feels great. I am going to make that possible for the whole world.

The birth of Icing on the Cupcake.....

There I was sitting around contemplating life, and my purpose in this large universe that we live in. I knew I wanted to be happy and successful, and I want to make a positive difference in this stagnant negative space we live in. The corporate world has me living in a rut. So I ask myself, What makes me happy?

What do I remember from being a kid that will always bring a smile to my face? One of my most vivid memories is of being a kid and having my birthday parties thrown at home, with a clown or a magician. My mother being a professional caterer, always put out a huge spread and as a main staple at any one of our parties on the sweet table, were these cute little cupcakes with bright colored icing that she would make. Those sweet delicacies were always a big hit, and gone with the bat of an eyelash.

So as I think hard about the meaning of my life, it hits me like a ton of bricks. I need to create that smile that those cupcakes bring to my face, for people big and small all over the world. Now the question is, how do I do that in a way that no one else has? Well my favorite thing about kids parties, besides the sweet goodness of cupcakes, is the LOOT BAG, of course!!

So Icing on the Cupcake was born. The world of cupcakes is endless if you want them specialized, and the skies the limit if you allow your creative side to play a little and design your own little masterpiece. I provide you the canvas with which you can be your own, CUPCAKE MASTER.

To take a moment out of our busy lives to enjoy what life has to offer is hard for most, and non-existent for others. I vow with cupcakes that even if for just a brief moment, to touch as many people that I can. With a smile and a sweet package that will take your mind to a place that we all have wished we could have back. The innocence of being a kid and thinking outside the box of the daily grind.

DREAMING OF CUPCAKES

Breastfeeding the baby and watching random commercials, I suddenly got a huge mouth-watering craving....

Chocolate cupcake with a whipped pink icing topping and a large glass of milk. My theighs and waist would not be happy with me, but oh my how my tummy would be giddy with joy. Quickly I picked up the phone to call Rachel...I NEED CUPCAKES!!!! Luckily she was in the middle of baking for tomorrows order and there would be extras for me for our day together. Oh how I love our Tuesdays' together, especially if there are leftover cupcakes from the weekends orders.

Brad, my husband turns to me and says "honey, what are you doing?" I reply, "cupcake, I mean sweety, I am brainstorming some awesome ideas for Rachel." So blog #1 was created this way.

Today I dream of chocolate cupcake, tomorrow perhaps vanilla with blue icing, perhaps purple, either way my dreams these days usually involve some sort of cupcake tasty goodness. I can't help it, I was bitten by the greatest cupcake idea a few months ago when Rach proposed this awesome idea. Now as each day passes I get more and more excited about cupcakes!!

Ooops my overzealous typing woke the baby...gotta run...but trust me, I;ll be back tomorrow with more delectable dreams....
