I love baking!

"I hate baking." Kindra's body slouches at a dejected angle as she kneads the scone dough. She pauses and turns to her auditor. "I mean, baking's not so bad, but when you do the same thing day after day after day it gets kinda old. I can't wait until we're doing coffee."

This was Kindra's sentiment after two weeks of baking the same recipes day after day. Now, however, if she wishes to complain it will have to be on account of something else—she has plenty of new stuff to bake all of the sudden. Shawna has been in talks with a new catering company in town. The company does the food stuff, but wants to contract out the desserts. A perfect customer.

So Kindra is busy today creating recipes that would work well for what the catering company desires. Apparently it wants mostly little desserts. Dainty. Not big honkers like we are used to producing. New recipes. New pastry sizes. I'm sure Kindra beyond elated.

It has been decided lately, concerning Bikini, that Sweet Thing will no longer deliver baked goods on the weekend. Apparently no one eats pastries on the weekend. Or maybe all these men that frequent the shop during the work week are not so keen to do so when their family is with them? None-the-less nothing sells on the weekend and who are we to defy the laws of Supply and Demand? If nothing sells we refuse to deliver. It's nice, too, because it gives the baker Saturday off.

On a more pleasant Bikini note (Kindra would argue that possibility) the scones have been selling very well. They even sold out a couple of days! That's wonderful. The scones are extremely tasty and apparently people are finally beginning to learn this. Took them long enough.

Below is a part of Shawna's cake, a blueberry scone, the greatest thing since sweet bread (ham and cheese Pan), a pineapple-coconut muffin, and "fun with chocolate."
