You may or may not know, but baking (and this blog) is not my full-time job. It's a hobby that kind of took on a life of its own and became a little side business. Well, a few weeks ago, I learned that I would be transferring with my "real job" back to the Midwest. This is a move that I have been praying about for a long time, but it still kind of took me by surprise when it actually came together.
So, that being said, I've obviously had a lot going on the last few weeks, and a lot more still to wrap up before I move (in 3 weeks!!!). Because of the craziness of moving and the responsibility of learning a new position with my organization, I'm afraid I'm going to have to take a hiatus from the blog for a bit. It is my hope to still post delightful treats occasionally, but it won't be with the regularity and frequency I've had for the last year or so. Although I won't be able to focus too much on Delightful Treats, you know I won't be able to stay away from baking for too long! : ) So I will definitely still be baking and will update the blog when I get a chance.
Since this will likely be my last post for a while, I wanted to leave you with a couple of treats to remember me by.
The first, is a collage of cupcake and icing flavors I made for a little girl's birthday party. Her favorite color is pink so she wanted pink cake and pink icing, but mom wanted to have a variety of flavor options for all the kiddos. So I made chocolate, red velvet, and yellow cake (dyed pink!) with a mix of chocolate and cream cheese icing. Then they all got a sprinkling of edible glitter - perfect for any little girl's party!
The second is another cookie cake (chocolate chip) I made for the interns in our office on their last day to thank them for all their help. Unfortunately I had forgotten my camera that day, so I had to take the pictures on my phone and they're not the best quality. But I thought this was the perfect treat to share today to thank all my friends and subscribers who have encouraged and supported me through the growth of this blog and my little business.
So thank you all for reading my blog and for ordering my products. I will definitely still update when I can, and I will also start re-establishing my business back in the Midwest. I'll let you know when I'm settled and on the baking bandwagon again... farewell for now!
