It’s hot. And I’m sick.Who the hell gets sick in the summer?   How does that even happen? Aren’t all the germs spontaneously combusting in the air thanks to the suns death rays?

Fortunately the cold was at least considerate enough to wait until Cooking Channel was done with most of their filming yesterday before it smacked me in the head like a ton of bricks. And a BIG thank you to everyone who stuck around our shop at DeKalb Market, even though shooting ran far behind schedule. We can’t wait for you guys to see this segment in October. 

Not only did we film a tv show yesterday, we ALSO made cupcakes for stores today, because we’re multitaskers. However, after todays effort in the hot hot heat, and because of all the hard work they did covering for us when we went to Sesame Place, we’ve decided to shut down for a few days so all our employees can get a few well deserved days of rest, hit the beach, do some day drinking in direct sunlight, etc. So find these around town today, but not at DeKalb- we’ll be reopening there on THURSDAY (with 2 for $5 all day!)
