It will be day 7 tomorrow so whilst I haven’t been baking much this week I have been very busy in other ways. Monday was a very good day, I incorporated Positively Marvellous Temptations! I am now a Ltd company!! Yeah at last! Some have said I shouldn’t have done it as it will just cause a trail of paperwork but I wanted to, the paperwork needs to be done anyway and I felt strongly that I start as I mean to go on. I am determined that this is something I will build over time to a strong robust entity with a good client base that keeps returning. I hope to watch all these little ones grow up by way of knowing them through their cake choices. From Iggle Piggle and Upsy Daisy to an elegant handbag, a wedding cake and maybe a christening cake! there are many ways of watching the circle of life, I think through cakes eyes is a good way.
I’ve been reading up on the regulations and have got the food safety regulations Pack/Log on its way to me. With the food safety course the week after next I am feeling very much under pressure to get the house straight. I need to replace the dead dishwasher and the poorly fridge freezer, and invest in PMT’s very own fridge. Get all of that installed as the current ones are integrated, what a mistake that was! and then I will be ready for the council inspection. Once that is done nothing can hold me back.
I’m really looking forward to having a therapeutic clear out. The poor kids are loosing their messy play cupboard, as from next week that is PMT’s equipment and packaging storage. By complete fluke the cupboards I built last year under the stairs have cubby holes the perfect for the cupcakes boxes I bought in bulk last week. See, this was fate! How did I possibly know the dimensions of the boxes then, fate told me.
And whilst I just want to bake cookies and make Easter treats Mr D wants to go away for the holiday weekend, We haven’t seen our lovely freinds in Newcastle for a very long time and as I hope to have plans for most Saturday mornings for the rest of my life we should probably take the opportunity while we can… I was looking forward to the cupboard sorting though. Maybe I can squeeze in some emergency baking before we go to keep me going.
Next weeks challenge… Organisation and Storage… Oh my, that sounds like a trip to Ikea! Oh and printing, start getting things ready to go with that, although that may need to wait until the following week as I don’t think my cousin can take 2 small people around all the machinery in his factory. The boy will be in machine heaven.
I really feel like I am steadily on the way now… slowly ticking things off the list.
