Meet Tavi...lover of gelato and anything yellow!

Hello, hello!!

 

This week I am introducing our lead baker Tavi! She has been baking forever...being best friends we have conjured up tons of fun things in the kitchen. For a while we had a blog called "Sweet treats from my best friends kitchen." Note to Tav we need to keep up with that!)

 

Let's start with the basics:

 

Favorite color: Yellow

Favorite cupcake: Lick the bowl

Favorite music: Rap (ask her to rap for you sometime it's a hoot!), she is recently addicted to the blurred lines song and as every 90's kid Nsync. We heard Nsync playing in the car last night and needless to say I'm sure you wouldn't have wanted to be a fly on the window of that car. Nothing like reliving elementary memories. Haha.

Favorite shows: Full House, Boy Meets world, Greys Anatomy, The Office.

 

 

Some other random facts....

 

*Tavi has been working for Tamara since the end of September. She started in baking and is now the reining queen of the bakers.

 

*She is in love with Ryan Gosling and Jake Gyllenhaal...watch out James (James is her long time boyfriend.)

 

 

 

 

*She is addicted to gelato. I mean addicted...when we last went to Milwaukee we spent the entire trip trying to find gelato...addict :p

 

*She loves tea-cup pigs. Someday she will own one!!

 

 

 

*She just became an auntie! Needless to say she is going to spoil him rotten!

 

*Her number one place to visit someday is Italy.

My name is Megan..and I'm addicted to to polka dots.

Hey guys!!

 

We thought it would be fun to write a post featuring someone in the bakery every week. Get to know the crew a little better. I plan on introducing the girls up front that you always see, bakers, decorators and everyone in between. It's always fun to learn more about people you see a few times a week :)

 

 This week I decided to start with myself as the "tester."

 

Okay...where to begin. Hmm...well we can start out with I'm Megan and I like to talk...a lot. Haha. That's why I am usually the one always up front. I love my customers :)

 

Let's start with the basics:

Favorite color: Pink (good thing I work in this bakery)

Favorite cupcake: Peanut butter cup (pumpkin rocks too!!)

Favorite music: Taylor Swift, The Beatles, She & Him, Mumford and sons, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert and anything country!!

Favorite shows: FRIENDS, The Cosby show, Full House, Gilmore Girls
 

 

 

 Some other random things are...

*I've been working for Tamara since September. I got trained in baking and now work mainly up front and do a lot of wedding shows and anything done with the public. I also work on planning certain events. My next project is, I keep telling Tamara we need our own TV show. Oh it will happen

 

 

*I'm best friends with the lead baker Tavi. We have been best friends since the 3rd grade. That makes us old haha.

*I have been a vegetarian since the seventh grade, Tavi and I did it as a New Years resolution and it just kind of stuck.

Here I'm holding our chocolate covered strawberry cupcake. A triple chocolate cupcake filled with strawberry and iced in fudgy chocolate frosting, whip and garnished with a fresh chocolate dipped strawberry!



 

With this blog I plan to keep you guys up to date with everything that goes on in our fabulous little sweets boutique. I will post about new cupcake flavors we've created, fun events we attend and host and some of the wildly fun cakes Tamara creates. There is never a dull moment in this shop...believe me!!

 

 

Here are some fun facts:

• The best selling fabu-lux cupcake is peanut butter cup. What is it? A chocolate chocolate chip cupcake filled with BOTH chocolate silk and peanut butter and then iced in a peanut butter cream cheese. (This is my personal fav too!)
  

  
• Tamara is going on 16 years of business. Be sure to save the date, August 14th. We will be having a "sweet 16 celebration" to celebrate 16 years of business!! We're still planning out the details buuuut you won't want to miss it believe me!!

  See the octopus?? All cake! And THAT is why she's the cake guru!!

   
• When Tamara opened up the new shop we had under 10 people working there. Now 8 months later we have grown to having over 20. Business is booming and we could not be more excited to expand even more! We're all like one big crazy family and we wouldn't have it any other way!
