In the last two weeks I’ve spent around 70 hours in this kitchen.
Seventy. Hours.
And it all started with a little bit of apple pie.
Thank you all so much for sharing my posts, telling your friends, tagging me, and trusting me with the most important piece of your baby’s birthday parties. To those of you I’ve built friendships with, I feel blessed to have met you and I can’t wait to be there for however many more birthdays, events and parties we have together in this fast moving life we live. I couldn’t include every cake I’ve made in the video, and I wanted to show some of where we began, so this is just a few of the ones I feel taught me the most lessons while making them, drew the most attention on socials, and made you the happiest.
The truth is, I came in the kitchen one day in March, feeling overwhelmed with all the change. Stressing about whether my babies were adjusting well and wondering how I could help make everything just a little bit easier on everyone. Missing my family and not knowing how to cope with the racing, anxious thoughts any other “healthy” way, I did the only thing I knew and got a little bit of flour on my hands. I had some fresh empire apples and no plan. A couple hours later, we were giving away apple pie filled cupcakes to our friends and neighbors and within two weeks, I was taking orders for more.
Here we are in July and I can’t even BELIEVE how much I’m doing here. I never would have imagined I’d be packing up and moving from the beach where I grew up all the way to this little area tucked away in North Country, and the amount of love I’ve been welcomed with is nothing short of a dream. You haven’t just made my little mental health hobby into a job. By sharing, tagging and talking, you’ve managed to create an extra stream of income and kept my hands working so my mind can’t get too busy. For that, I am so grateful.
