I think the weather and the slowness of the market is really getting to us.  It’s hard for Kim to do all this work and then see little immediate results.  And I am just heartbroken when I throw out cupcakes!  We just have to keep our eyes on the ultimate goal.  By having a presence there, Kim will boost her presence in the minds of people who want a little Sweet Release.  I also think we have to remember that it’s all about constantly reevaluating the customers’ needs and wants. Let’s face it, cookies aren’t about “needs”–they’re about “wants”!

Anyway, if you are in St. Catharines or the area and reading this blog, get out to the market and have a cookie. They’re very good… and getting better all the time.  She’s been coating cream cheese sugar cookies with chocolate and then writing clever words on them.  The worst part is that they sit on our counter and I know I can’t eat them.  She had a bit of a chocolate equipment malfunction yesterday, which resulted in even better looking cookies… her piping bag broke as she was coating the cookies, and the result was some cookies completely encased in chocolate.  Mmmm.  Of course, she ended up with hot liquid chocolate on her hands, which couldn’t be all that pleasant.

It’s very snowy here today, so I wonder if anyone will go to the market.  Fingers are crossed.
