Minding my own business

I've started a little online business. It's something I've been working on for the past couple week and finally I'm ready to go live. It's a little virtual bakeshop (with very real, non-virtual cakes) on Etsy.com.

To start, I'm specializing in Italian Rainbow Cookies and my super cool Italian Rainbow Cake (basically a giant, slightly lighter version of the original). I'm playing around with colors and jams, but for now am offering the classic versions. I'm also going to be selling financiers and madeleines pretty soon, so stay tuned!

I ship all over the US via USPS priority mail and the cookies are sold in batches of 24 or 40 generously-sized portions. I'm planning a fun little contest soon; details of which will be posted shortly! For now, all my blog readers will receive a 10% discount on your orders (just mention one of my blog names in your buyer's note).

I'm really excited about this and can't wait to see what you think about my cookies (and the shop)!

Can you bake me something in keeping with our diets?

This is so cool! Hope sales go through the ceiling ;)

It makes me really sad having to miss the chance to taste your desserts, though...

But I guess that's part of the price you pay for living in Europe :roll:

Love how everyone from North Jersey regardless of heritage has a thing for all things Italian :)
