The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Oooh, look what I've found, Cinny'll look so pretty selling cupcakes wearing cakey jewellery!

Lol where do you find such things Birdie?! Definitely staff uniform for Catie's Cupcakery I feel!

Oh and I wouldn't offer us all free cupcakes for life Cinny, for one, NIM would start living in the corner of your shop, and secondly, you'd be making the wedding cakes, christening cakes and birthday cakes for everyone on here for ever and ever!!!

I was knitting some of NIMs scarf again last night (I know, it's 7 months in the making now!), everytime I start up again I manage to create a new stitch so it goes from 21 stitches to 22 a week later and so on. I have no idea how I do it, but its very odd!

Can you make this into a desirable USP somehow? Patent it even?!

Oooh, Birdie, I like the cake stand at the bottom!

Dinah93

Bless him, NIM is either too sweet for his own good or was dropped on his head as a baby - he thought the ever expanding bits were some sort of feature!

Birdie85

I like the cake stand too! I think I might be able to make that too...will have to practice my fimo sculpting skills! I like this too:

Right so Birdie is making hairpieces and jewellery, Cinny is making the foods, and Tete and I are going to kit everyone out in natty little costumes! Ooooh and I can paint a mural on the wall or something! What other skills can we wrangle together?!

Everyone's gone cupcake crazy! Have you seen M&S have started doing cupcakes? Apparently people are spending more on small luxuries like cupcakes and lipsticks as they're cutting down on holidays and stuff.

I like Catie's Cupcakery too! Although how about 'The Cupcakery'? it's simple and quite grand but it would highlight your uniqueness!

Yes, my interview is tomorrow so I'm quite excited. I just hope it will go well!

ETA: I could offer my services in the form of publicity material I could design (and spellcheck) flyers and stuff until I find my own craft calling!

Stop it Birdie! I don't need to see all this pretty stuff when I'm on a budget.
If I tried to make them it'd just be just a multi coloured blob! It's annoying how talented some people are, just plain annoying.

Dinah93

Everyone has their own talents though Cinny, as I think this highlights, you can make amazing cakes, thats a definite skill, so many people manay to bake rocks then get all upset when someone cracks a tooth!

Yey we've got Poddle on board too! I can offer NIM up to make some cabinets for the cakes, he's very woody.
