Rachel is... cooking up something good!

I really wish Easter hadn't come and gone already. I love making these cupcakes! They're too cute! I suppose I'll have to stop eventually. Hopefully, someone will order a big batch of these before then, so I'll get it out of my system. Nothing like making 300 cupcakes for an office party to really break your hands and soul.

In other news, now offering iced coffee and teas. Here's this month's flavors. Remember, all flavors come in regular and decaf.

Even though I'm not playing, I'm truly enjoying watching the Humans vs Zombie game. I've even worked on a few things for the shop related to it. I've got some pictures below in case anyone is interested.


On a more serious note, I'm starting to work on a reward for any information leading to the location of Eloise and/or information leading to the location/arrest of those responsible. So far, I've managed to put together a small but sizable amount. Please feel free to donate to it, if you wish to and are able.

It's such a beautiful day out today! I can't believe spring has come this early! I think this year I'm going to pick out some flower boxes to put in the windows. Maybe I'll even do a few planters outside. Though... considering recent... events, perhaps I'll take that fanged geranium off your hands, Sarah and Zeke, and use it as a guard for the back door.

I have to say I'm rather excited about tomorrow's Quidditch match and the talent show. I heard Christopher Meisner is going to do some sort of comedy act? I can't wait to see it!

I found her. Veronica. The library. I. She's not hurt too bad. Just. I'm taking her to St. Mungo's.

I can't believe how many entries there were! That was amazing!

The winner of the raffle is:
ELOISE LUPIN!!

Congratulations! I also made you something extra special! A crown made out of cookies and candy!

I also ended up picking three runners up since, there were just so many entries!
Asher Macmillan, Isabella Macmillan and Ethan Montague!

All three of you will recieve a plate of twenty cookies!

Thanks to everyone who entered! I may do another one of these in the near future!

I hope everyone is all right. I can't believe something like this would happen! I hear we caught at least one of the people involved. Hopefully this means the others involved will be broght to justice quickly.

I honestly don't know what I would have done if my store was one of the ones hit. What is going on? Is everyone going crazy?

Glad to see everyone's back. I really missed my regular customers. To celebrate, I'm offering free small coffee on friday to everyone with a student ID. their student ID. This includes any of the flavors on tap right now, even the holiday ones.

Also please sign up for the raffle I'm holding. The winner will recieve: a 12 inch cookie cake, two dozen brownies, two dozen cookies, half a dozen Mini apple pies in wontons, two pies, three loaves of bread, a dozen cupcakes and a dozen muffins. All in whatever flavor(s) the winner chooses! You can drop your name into the box once per day. And it's charmed Sylvia, so if you try more than once, it won't accept it. Good luck everyone! I'll be drawing the winner on the 27th.

Can't wait till the holiday season is over. I do love it. I love the lead up and all there is to it. I just could do withotu the paniced shoppers who spill coffee over me, themselves, and other patrons and then spend anywhere from 20 minutes ot an hour complaining about that and how they deserve a refund. I couldn't believe yesterday. One man tripped over a little boy, kicking him rather hard, and spilling coffee on himself and the boy. It got into the boy's eyes. I didn't know what happened as I was in the back, Arista was working the front. I heard the scream and came out running... thankfully he was alright later on but that fight between the two patrons. That's what nightmares are made of...

I love when my vendor comes up with new flavors for coffee and hot chocolate. Most of these will only available until the end of January! I will likely keep one of the coffees and one of the hot chocolates though till the next year. Vote for your favorite!

Coffees:
* Eggnog
* Spiced Butter Rum
* Candy Cane
* Gingerbread
* White Chocolate Cranberry
* Christmas Cookie


Hot Chocolate:
* Caramel
* Peppermint
* Strawberry White Chocolate
* Tiramisu
* Rocky Road

New shipment for coffee and supplies came in today. Rather excited to see the new flavor of coffee I ordered came in: Vanilla Crème Brûlée. I can't wait to try some. Maybe if I stay up long enough with a few cups of it, I'll be too tired for the nightmares

Why? Why did this have to happen? I don't understand. This can't be happening... My store...Why would anyone do this?

Hit-wizards just left. I'm all right. Mostly. I went home to take a nap and... They showed up at my apartment. Someone threw a brick in the main window... there was glass, eggs, and shaving cream everywhere. They didn't... destory everything. It's still standing, though they decided to throw the food in the freezer all over the place... well, what they didn't eat anyway...

I love it when Father Jacob comes to visit. Apparently one of his parishioners told him to try something new but he was terribly embarrassed. He wanted a Hazel Feelgood and a Drunken Blondie. We both had a good laugh after that.

School will be starting soon and I can't wait to see everyone again! Just letting everyone know that I'm looking for 2 part time positions and 1 full time position for help around my bakery. For those of you who might not be familiar with it, Grain Expectations is a small bakery within walking distance of Eolas University! Bring your student ID and you'll get a 10% discount on your order! I've almost always have free samples so please stop on by!

I'm so excited. I was hired to make a five tier wedding cake! It's going to be difficult to get all the elements they want on the cake, but I'm sure I can do it!
