So Adam and I have almost officially finished converting the garage into the bakeshop. We sealed the floor ourselves, organized and put things in place with the help of our parents, and we had our inspection by the Department of Agriculture. We had no idea what to expect on our big inspection day, but luckily, we met yet another nice southern lady (so far they are all so sweet!) who approved our bakeshop and gave us the "O.K." to go forth and sell. She went over our ingredient labels and gave us a list of common allergens that we need to list on our products. Everything went very smoothly, and we were amazed at how simple the process was. What a relief it was to just get that part over with.
I attended my first bridal show today at the Hilton and had a fabulous time. I like talking to the potential clients and getting a chance to answer their questions on the spot. The show seemed to be of good size. There were 2 ballrooms full of vendors with random booths in the hallways. I think that if the show was much larger and involved many more people, the brides would totally forget everything and just be confused. I don't know how many times I have picked up business cards and totally forgot what they were for when I decide to clean out my purse.
Anyway, I hope the show sends lots of business my way. I like business.
