Am really happy today. Nothing spectacular happened. I went to class as usual and designed cookies when I got home. It doesn't sound extraordinary but for me, today's just great. I have several reasons to jump up and down (though I'm physically tired and lazy to do so). Firstly, the preparations for the Kiddie Karnival are on track. The collaterals are almost complete and we're almost done pricing all the products. Product shoots are also finished and I've just completed our Sweet Success album / catalogue. I'm grinning from ear to ear as I leafed through the pages of the album. The pictures are a combination of Ma, Orie and I's work. Preparations for the designer cookie launching started a couple of months ago and I never looked back. It's been one day after the other of learning new things and endless researching. I haven't had a decent "day off" since I started going to cake decorating school. Things are falling into place and I am overjoyed with the turn of events. No matter how tired (or should I say exhausted) I am, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction for being able to pull this through with my family.
I have one more week to go to prepare for the products to be launched. I'm panting, pacing and panting again. There are moments though that I can't help but be overwhelmed with the list of things I have to do. It can be such a daunting task to be an exhibitor. It's pure guts and the confidence that what you're offering will click in the market. Orie, my youngest sister, is in charge of constructing of our Multiply site. I'll be posting the address soon. You'll definitely enjoy the pictures and I do look forward to your orders. :-) Sweet Success will be focusing on kiddie parties for now and it won't be for long when we'll be serving the wedding market soon. The possibilities are endless.
As the days pass, I strongly feel that I do want to be a chef and I do want to go to culinary school. My goal is to expand my family's business and expand its operations to service both culinary and pastry requirements. I think that adding to my feeling lethargic lately is my hyperactive mind that draws up an endless list of what I want to learn. I'm very inspired these days and I'm motivated by the thought of what the future brings for me and my family. I've found what I love to do and no matter how I whine and rant at how I feel utterly incapable at times doing gumpaste flowers, I love where I am today. This is what I want to do for life - bake, decorate, cook and make lots of money doing this and I'm serious about it.
