At 32, I think I've finally figured out what I want to do with my life:

Open a bakery.

I love baking. I do. I've been trying to play around with different cupcake recipes lately (as anyone who follow me on Twitter can attest to) and I think they've come out pretty decently. I have ideas for more combos. Some ideas for cakes and other things.

I've also been trying to think what my angle would be or something. Like, if everything would be named after Broadway characters or something (I made a killer Glinda cupcake a couple months ago). But, I dunno. Just stuff I've been bouncing around in my head. I don't even have a name though, yet. Definitely need a name.

Ahhh! I've always said if I win the lottery I want to open a bakery. I love finding new recipes for cakes and cupcakes.

Here's a picture of the oreo cupcakes I mentioned on twitter:


I failed at cake balls and am attempting cake pops sometime this week. Once I get over my strep. <3

That sounds awesome! I've been baking a lot recently as well. Mostly cookies but I made cupcakes for my co-workers on Valentines Day and they really liked it.

And having a Broadway themed bakery sounds like it would really be a cool idea, something that people would be willing to check out (I know that I would!)

Yay!!! I fully support cupcakes as a life's purpose! :D

I know a friend of a friend who literally just started doing this a few years back. Just took the plunge and did it. At first she was working out of her own kitchen and just doing deliveries, farmer's markets, festivals, small restaurants/coffee shops, etc. Two years later and her business has just exploded. So, yes, it can totally be done!

Also, I really love the Broadway theme!!! I've got tickets to see American Idiot next week -- I'm dying to know what your version of an American Idiot cupcake would be! Or a J. Pierrepont Finch cupcake!!! Ahhhhh! So many possibilities! All of them delicious!

Ahem. I may be a tinsy bit excited about your plan. *g*

(Um, also, I need to follow you on twitter so I can hear more about your cupcake exploits. I'm @jessipsa.)
