Mad Muffins

Well...with a flurry of activity and stress already present comes a rush to get 300 muffins, 300 cupcakes, 108 cookies, 54 whoopie pies, 60 brownies and 5 bags of dog treats baked, packaged, labeled, and delivered for Saturday mornings big Honest to Goodness kickoff! Since I learned that David's Natural Market in Bel Air, MD will be carrying my products, it's been a rush to get everything in place. A rush that has been long-awaited. For the past 8 years I've grown HTG. It truly is my little vegan baby. I've developed recipes, designed the website, searched for the perfect packaging, built excel formula after excel formula to figure how much exactly these vegan goodies will pay off, designed labels, t-shirts, and yes, even panties! Cause who wouldn't want a pair of panties that says 'vegans taste better'?!? Even if you're not a vegan...these are quite the fashion accessory! (And may I add are guaranteed to result in a lucky night if your partner is curious) :) I've tasted samples out the gazzoo...and apologize to all friends and family to whom I have forced my vegan goodies upon and interrogated for their opinion. And God forbid someone tell me something is good. 'What'???? I say...'What about texture, smell, consistency, does it taste better then Little Debbie, if you were about to die would you want one last bite of that vegan maple cupcake??' questions like this were posed to my sweet guinea pigs...and answers I expected! So...here we are, 2 baking days left until the big day!! I baked last night until midnight, awoke this morning (to the face of the Dunkin Donuts guy saying 'time to make the donuts') at 4:30 and baked 12 batches of muffins. And here it is, 7:49 am - and I have to run and get ready for my 'day' job! Big meeting today in NJ...plan to come home and bake more. Super busy but this is 8 years of my life's passion and work all coming together - like a fine cupcake batter! Keep you posted with today's success!
