Our cookies hold up through heavy travel!

This weekend we made the journey to Carillon Beach in Florida for Lauren and Carter's wedding. Although the weather left a little to be desired, it finally cleared off long enough to provide some great weather for the ceremony and reception. It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding and congratulations again to the both of you!

We made some seashell cookies to coordinate with their theme and added their initial. They used them at every place setting at the reception which was a great idea. Lauren is so creative and made everything from the invitations to the labels on the bottles of water. She has a blog on here as well that you should check out displaying some of her great designs. http://lettersbylauren.blogspot.com/

She also is starting up a store on Etsy, so follow her blog to keep up with all of the details.

Be sure to drop in the store this week. Mom and I continue to make improvements and streamline the baking process. As we add new equipment and get with our final suppliers and vendors we will be able to serve much more and make manyd items available daily in the store along with our entire menu always available for special order.

If you need a gift soon, keep us in mind! We have new orders from Natural Life and Jessie Steele coming in soon that are great alone or paired with our homemade goodies. We have gift boxes and bags that make giving a great gift simple.

Everything at Dough Re Mi is made fresh by the two of us. The best part is knowing that what you buy in our store has never been frozen and shipped in or made from a box mix. Our baked goodies are made from scratch using the same recipes Mom and other family members have used for years. That's what makes it so good!

One Week Down!

Thanks to everyone for an overwhelming response! We have had so much fun showing off the new shop and baking day and night! Ok - maybe baking all night has not been the best part of the experience but that's what happens when you start a new venture. One thing is for sure... There is a LARGE oven in our near future! We are still working on our scheduling issues to have enough time to fill the case for walk in customers and handle all of our special orders. Thanks to everyone following our blog and spreading the word. It's working!

Craziness!

Well - We had a WILD weekend. Between the flash flood of 2009 and trying to open on Friday, Mom and I are pretty tired. We stepped back this weekend and set in place a plan of action. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better on us both. I don't think either of us sat down for more than 2 minutes all day Friday. The good news is that we sold out more than once! The bad news is that we could really use about 4 extra arms each. :D

We both feel like we will settle in to a groove soon. I am just pleased that everyone seemed to love the place and what we were serving. I am glad to finally be in and able to bake. Painting, cleaning, and the entire remodel process was starting to get old. Also, we had sort of an issue with the flour that we purchased. The issue is that it stunk! I was so frustrated Friday trying to make some cupcakes that I baked them 4 times!! Mom started to blame the rain and humidity then after thinking of what could possibly be the issue, we finally settled on the flour. I brought my flour from home and voila' - cupcakes as normal. I am glad that we figured it out. Mom told me that she was beginning to think that she had lost her touch somewhere between Highway 22 and First Street. Ha! :D

Come by to see us soon. Hopefully we will be able to keep up!
