I’m in Business!

First an apology for my month-long hiatus here at Brown Eyed Baker - hopefully you’re all still around and excited to read my updates :)

Back at the beginning of November I officially launched my baking business:

Buona Dolce is Italian for the phrase “Good Sweets”. As many of you my who read my blog frequently know, I have strong ties to my Italian heritage and so in thinking of a name for my business, I really wanted my background to come through.

Keep reading for more information on the business and a lot of pictures of the orders I’ve filled this month!

I launched the business by holding an open house for family and friends to sample some of the things that I’m offering and to check out a Christmas-themed cake I made to display for the day. Below are some pictures of the treats that were offered for sampling:

Immediately following will be some posts on my first cookie order, and two cakes that I have done in the last few weeks. I’m also getting back into the swing of the baking and cooking so look forward to much more frequent posts!

  5. *applause* a very big CONGRATULATIONS to you!!! I’ll help spread the word back home. Do you have a website set up yet or a phone number that I can give people to hire you? My family is always having parties and such. ;-) Let me know!!

    You know what, my grandparents’ 50th Anniversary is coming up early in 2009 (I believe in March or April). Maybe I’ll order cake through you and tell everyone else that I got the cake covered. ;)
