For the past three years I have had the amazing privilege of working out of a shared commercial kitchen in Campbell.  It was a bit hard to find but I was able to do so much there because of the space and equipment available to me.  After many birthday parties, weddings, and baby showers, my kids have grown and my twins are about to start kindergarten.  May through October are usually my busy season and I spend a lot of time away from my family.  This year, I have decided to slow things down a bit and savor this precious time with my kids.  I am no longer going to be working from a commercial kitchen.  I am in the process of obtaining a Cottage Foods Operation Permit.  This permit allows me to bake from home on a smaller scale.  The permit limits what I can make so there will be changes made to my menu.  All pickups will now be from my home which is located in West San Jose.  I will continue to put out quality products but will no longer have weeks where I take orders upon orders.  Get your order in sooner rather than later as I will be booking up faster.  Thank you for your continued support!

April is Parkinson’s awareness month so my family and I joined Team Fox.  Team Fox is a community of people commited to raising funds for the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.  My husband’s family has had two members pass due to parkinson’s and his father has been living with the disease for a very long time.  Parkinson’s plays a role in my family’s everyday life.  We always keep hope that through some miracle, a cure will be found and his dad will be better.  We know what without action though, that hope only goes so far.  We talked about Team Fox to our 5 year old twin boys and they had the idea to put together a bake sale.  Our first born said “Mommy, I have a great idea!  You can bake cupcakes and we can sell them for money.  We can give that money to the doctors and they can make a medicine that will make Papou(grandpa) feel better.  Then Yia Yia(grandma) will be happy!”  I love his enthusiasm and big heart.  So, here we are, throwing a bake sale!  I hope that you can attend as we will have lots of goodies on the table.  You can also pre-order and pick it up the day of the event.  100% of the sales will go to MJFF.  Our goal is to raise over $1000!  I hope you can help us get there.  Here are the details of the event!

We are back in the kitchen after some much needed family time.  We’ve gone through our menu and added some new dessert options as well as took some out that just weren’t very popular.  We have our mini dessert menu back up on the site and are excited about the 2013 celebrations.  We have added cakes to our menu as well and can’t wait to show you some of the things we’ve been working on.  2013 will be very sweet indeed!
