So.. I've been kinda busy!

It's been a minute since I last wrote to you guys, but boy let me tell you....  I've been busy!

In the past month since my last post I've managed to check off almost 96% of my list of to-do's for the bakery.  Which includes:

• Setup the website www.velvetbuttercream.com
• Setup the email address ajcuriel@velvetbuttercream.com
• Speak to coffee vendors
• Speak to Phoenix New Times regarding advertising
• Speak to a Ford Fleet salesman & friend about a 2016 Transit Connect
• Finish the Profit & Loss Statement
• Create Concept statement
• Create Vision statement
• Create Mission Statement
• Finish Demographics
• Finish Competition Analysis
• Create Marketing
• Create Target Market statement
• Create the Cake menu
• Create the Drinks menu
• Edit the Initial purchase ledger for the 100th time
• Create the 5-year forecasted sales
• Create Labor forecast
• Edit the Mock schedule for the 20th time
• Create an Exit strategy
• Create a new Cake Order form
• Get signed up with the "Greater Phoenix Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce"
• Go to my first networking event!

Now.. you might be able to see why posts have been so limited  :P  But hey, you're hearing from me now so that's all that matters.  Creating this business has been a second job all in its own and yet I still haven't yielded a paycheck from it -_-   All in time I suppose, right?

Anyway, allllllll of that stuff is done and now i'm holding the first copy of the rough draft in my hand!  Four years worth of work (though most of it has been in the past 6 months), and now I feel like I have nothing to do.  I suppose I can always work on writing more recipes..

On a totally separate note, I have a new revision on the bakery logo's.  Though the change is very miniscule it's enough to make a difference on the side of the building.

Anyway, it's late.  I'll write a new post again soon, I promise :)
