Sweet Business Success: Let's Bake It Happen!
In a pint-sized dorm kitchen, complete with one square foot worth of counter top dated back to the fifties and an ancient gas stove, my dream of running my own cake business was born. Somehow I fearlessly hurdled the barrier posed by the meager functionality of that small space and managed to complete my very first cake orders and very first cookie sale in that tiny kitchen.

When You Give a Co-worker a Cookie
With a tentative click I shift my truck to park. Nothing but rolling green strawberry fields stretch out to every side. I was proud of my new ability to identify a strawberry plant. Stubby dark green bushel, small white blossoms, three leaves popping from each stem. I honestly don’t know if I’d ever seen one until I came here, but something about that little piece of aggie knowledge felt like a badge of belonging in this place. Why yes, of course I know those are strawberry plants! As long as no one quizzed me on the characteristics of a broccoli crop, I could pass for a regular here.

How to React When Your Artwork is Eaten
Five Hours. That’s the average time one of my finished masterpieces has to live before someone runs a keen knife through it. Cuts it to pieces. Jovial applause. And then a crowd will consume every bit, leaving no evidence of the crime behind.
