Welcome to the home of Simply Sweets Candy Cake Bites!
Available soon on Etsy and hopefully other local establishments!!!
A long time coming, but a late night discovery may springboard me into action again-both creatively and professionally.
The "Beer Fairy," as I have been told, is a muse of sorts. It seems she paid me a visit late on Mother's Day. After a glass (and a half) of a nice stout, I realized that my left over truffle ganache and the extra cake from my daughter's grasshopper birthday cake pops may in fact make a nice pairing.
And what do you know...? They were great together, and my Candy Cake Bites were born. Well, at least they were a scrumptious little morsel at midnight, but it was my children who came up with the name at breakfast the next morning.
After brainstorming a bit, and running the gammit of all the Minecraft related names they could think of, my 8 (almost) year old said, "Candy Cake Bites." Ah ha! There it is, ask your children. All of my names were so complicated, all my little creations needed was the perspective of someone who saw them for what they were: little pieces of bite-sized candy made of cake...duh.
And so, long story short...I have reopened my candy business focusing solely on this new creation. I still get to make my caramel, my truffle ganache, play with chocolate (the good stuff this time), and make people say "Yummy!"
I ordered all my supplies last night, bit the bullet and bought a chocolate tempering machine, and am sufficiently scared! Excited too, I mean, if I am going to do this, I am going to do it better and bigger than the first time. I have a focus now, a niche that as far as I can tell no one has ventured into yet, and a hugely supportive network of family and friends! Mmmmwwwwaaahhh!
Lets make some chocolate, people! And yes, taste testers always needed!
I'll keep you posted here and facebook about the coming, facebook page, etsy store. and all the haps! I am almost ready!!
New supplies should be here in about a week, but I do have some chocolate and some older boxes and tins available if people need stuff now... :)
