Today was not an ordinary day.
It was a day of two very different “firsts.”
For one, it was our first garage sale as home owners. Although we still have tomorrow left, we’ve already made some pretty good moola, so I’m excited!
Although, when it comes to my next big “first,” excited doesn’t even begin to explain how I’m feeling right now. 
Today was the official beginning of Sweet Tooth Cupcakes
With my first 5 dozen order!!
My first customer decided that she wanted 1 dozen of each of the specialty cupcakes that I currently offer, so I definitely had my work cut out for me.
All five dozen have been delivered and my customer seems extremely excited! I’m ecstatic! 
Hopefully I’ll have some more orders coming in soon!!
Mid-day, I had my doctor’s appointment, so on my way back home, I stopped to pick up some lunch for myself, Jay and his dad, who were working so hard at the garage sale all day.
A quick stop at Mr. Subb left me with a 6-inch turkey & veggie flax wrap, which was actually quite tasty!
Mr. Subb typically wouldn’t be my meal location of choice, but it worked for today…YUM!
I’d say this was the only thing I consumed for lunch, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that copious amounts of frosting were consumed throughout the day. Talk about a sugar overload…YOWZAS!
Jay and I are heading out shortly to meet up with Joe & Kate at the movies. We’re going to see Wall Street, which I’m super psyched about. I love Shia LaBeouf! Does anyone remember him from Even Stevens?!?!
I used to LOVE that show! I’m sure, however, he’ll be much more entertaining in tonight’s movie. 
Hope you’re all having a great Friday!!!

I wish you lived in Texas because I would totally make an order!
Those cuppycakes look FABULOUS! I’m so proud of my little Betty Crocker!! good job : )
YUM! Congrats on the beginning of this new venture. This is very exciting, and those cupcakes look fabulous.
Congrats on the cupcake business! I do a little baking for peeps on the side, but I don’t think I could handle it as a regular thing! Hooray for you!
And I heart Shia. I would like to marry him someday if that’s at all possible… lol
So coil, congrats on your first order! The cupcakes look amazing!!
Good Luck Courtney – I already have your business card in hand. . .thanks to your mommy
Congrats!!! The cupcakes look great
wowsers those cupcakes look often…you don’t deliver to London, do you??
congrats on the cupcakes! Are you renting a kitchen somewhere?
Wow that’s awesome Courtney!! Just wondering, did you go through with getting a health permit? That’s pretty much the only thing preventing me from selling AllieBars. I’d love to hear about your experiences with inspections and such.
Congrats on the first order! They cupcakes look really awesome. Wish I could do ‘em right like that.
YUM and congrats! What kind are the cupcakes with the pretzels on top? Pretzels catch my attention without fail…
Everyone is always telling me I should sell baked goods, but I don’t want to go through getting a permit and everything!
Congrats! That is very exciting! And wow, your cupcakes look amazing!!! Where did you order your business cards from? I am starting a business as well but can’t decide where to order my business cards from. Thanks!
these cupcakes look insanely delicious!!!!! i wish i lived near you so i could order some. you’re so talented!!
Congrats on a successful first order! They look so pretty and delicious!
Congratulations! They look beautiful and delicious.
You’re not going to believe it–I just launched an at-home cupcake catering business a few weeks ago. You must have used Vista Print for your business cards–I have the same logo!!!! Maybe we can swap some ideas?! Where are you ordering your boxes from!? Ahh..this is so cool; two great minds think alike!
Your cupcakes look fantastic! Good luck on the new adventure.
I see a hint of jealosy in people asking you publicly about a health permit. I honestly don’t think you need to do that unless you were doing something big like opening your own franchise of sprinkles cupcakes. For example paula deen had panic attacks went through a divorce etc and got the idea to cook stuff in her kitchen and send with her boys to sell. I don’t think she got concerned w permits until she grew big to an actual catering company. If you’re just doing what you love and selling to your inner circle then enjoy it.may god bless your new venture!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for your comment. I was a little taken back by how many people wanted to know about how I handled everything, and really wasn’t ready to share that. Your comment helped me realize that it really is just my business and nobody elses. Thank you again!
Congratulations on your cupcakes!!! They look great!!
These look great!! So happy for you!
What are the pretzel ones? I can’t find them on the recipe page!
They’re a new one! Salted caramel, but the recipe probably won’t be posted on the recipe page. Sorry!
I had no idea you were launching a cupcake biz – how fun! They look very professional.
Re: comment 18 I only asked because I was interested in local kitchens available for rent. I have an idea for something I want to do, but def can’t manage it out of my home kitchen. Was just hoping for a lead
Oh my gosh congratulations! They look freaking amazing and professional! Wish I could order some!
Those cupcakes look amazing! Congrats!!!
Good for you!!! Yay so excited for you!
Congrats, that’s so cool! I was just thinking about how neat it’d be to do something like this, but way too busy right now. I actually want a cupcake truck.
