It's been busy I had 8 plus loaves of banana nut bread 5 of them Monday, then another 6 on Wednesday. Then Friday was large and in charge, soft and chewy oatmeal raisin and today I have Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate chip cookies going in I have a little over 2 dozen. I can't complain I am at least starting to get orders in which I do appreciate. Last weekend was my granddaughters 12th birthday and they had a Harry Potter/ glow in the dark mashup birthday party 🥳.

I'm still waiting on approval, of my labels. So I can get my stuff finished up ! Let me tell you, it's not as simple as slapping a few things under ingredients like flour, yeast,butter,milk ect onto a peice of paper with contact info, and your certificate NO!! Oh no it can't be simple.
They want sub ingredients for each of the ingredients, and if those sub ingredients have ingredients, that aren't already on that list of ingredients you better put those in too! Because it all has to be covered!

Then allergens and after that you have to include the following notification.
"This product was produced in a home kitchen not subject to public health inspection that may also process common food allergens. If you have safety concerns, please contact your local health department".
Hopefully I have finally gotten all their corrections taken care of, because let me tell you if you don't pay close attention to labels this is one thing that will definately make you look twice and wonder what the heck are they feeding us ?

I was todays year old when i found this out! Who knew that your ingredients had ingredients?? That had even more ingrediants. Think your pure vanilla extract is just vanilla beans and some sort of alcohol WRONG !!!
If you buy it from the store, I buy the brand Watkins Pure Vanilla Extract and it contains the following: water, sugar, Glycerin, Vanilla extract(water, alcohol, extractive of vanilla beans) Alcohol, Natural Flavors. fruit juice (colors). This is literally listed exactly as i show here on their bottle not easily seen you have too look the whole bottle over.

Your Confectioners Powdered sugar has sugar and cornstarch, baking soda is Sodium Bicarbonate,
vegetable oil is made of soybean oil,
Kayro White corn syrup is : corn syrup, salt, vanilla extract, vanilla beans, water and ethyl alcohol.

Until I started having to make labels to place on things and have them pre approved I had no clue ! Did anyone else know this or is it just me who for some reason never felt the need to even look until I had to do this?

Just a reminder and notice but we are closed on weekends. The only time i am open on weekend is if you have a prior approved appointment or a wedding that I am delivering to a venue then that is a given. But I am closed this weekend due to being Labor Day weekend and will be back on Tuesday. Sorry for the late notice and reminder.

So finally got the shelving figured out the pieces that was with it kept giving me fits so plan B make my own shelves, well I had Raoul Trahan make me some shelves to place in it!

So, then my problem became what should I put on the wood to protect it??? I am thinking the same wax as what I use on my cutting boards to make if food safe or even mineral oil on them. I will figure it all out later. I put temp adhesive on the light strips, and now for what it looks like currently. No need to be nasty about things it is currently stored in our garage under cover until today. Now I do have to rewash the windows and then wipe it all down again because well fingerprints, are a real pain when your constantly having to touch the glass to place the shelves. I also have to find some paint for the bottom of it, so i can cover the scratches so there is that.

I hate waiting!! lol OMG! So, the thing I done this past Tuesday August 25,2026 might I add I walked into said destination just as they were announcing over the radio station that one of the people at the desk was listening to the passing of Dolly Parton. I am not saying it is a bad omen, but fingers crossed it wasn't! however I went to the Clay County Health Dept to finish the needed paperwork and pay the 50-dollar fee that they require and now i wait for them to make sure I had everything required in place and I should hopefully hear by today but possibly not until next week the one week mark will be Tuesday September 1,2026 and I am just all kinds of fidgety over the waiting! They required I register a business name with them so, of course when the paperwork is finalized Sweetie's Treats Bakery will become my official on paperwork business name. Here's to the next chapter of finally getting this finished and starting to officially take orders with all the proper license's and paperwork filed.

Soooo, the following is an inspirational type of picture. It's not mine, in other word's it is a cake that is wanted for a birthday party that will be a smash up of Harry Potter and a Glow themed party. How hard is it going to be to combine both the Harry Potter theme and glow in the dark this will be fun!! Can't wait for this party to happen!!
