The Bugs!
Maybe it's because it's Spring. Or maybe they are just too cute to resist. But for whatever reason...the ladybugs are very popular at Flour Box Bakery! Which is great, because I love making the ladybugs! I actually just got finished icing another order of them a few minutes ago. Here...
Baker with a Big Heart
I've missed writing on Tidbits. But, I had orders that needed attention. And, I had to organize our tax information. Yucky taxes. I promised myself that as soon as I got the tax stuff done, I'd reward myself with a little coffee and blogging time. I feel so happy right...

For the Boys
Do you believe in taking a day of rest? I do, but the challenge is finding the time. My weekly schedule includes taking care of my family, cleaning, activities, helping my mom, and balancing web and event cookie orders (that typically fall on weekends). I find that by the time...
