I shouldnt have watched this video before eating breakfast! 
Everything looks so delicious. Very cute shop! Geez, I wish we had a similar shop like that in my area. I would live there. lol!
Thanks Guys!!! 
I thought it looked really professional and did a really good job of highlighting all the different stuff we do.
So when we see you on Food Network we can all say, hey we "knew" her when!!! What a great looking shop, it is beutiful shop. My cuz lives in NC I think I see a trip in my near future, lol.
I love the shop Kat... wish I lived up the road (though I'd weigh 900 pounds since I LOVE gelato *chuckle*)
If I ever make it down your way I will be sure to stop in for a scoop and other various yummies!!
They did a great job and your place looks great. Will we be able to see the full video when it runs? Will they have a feed on their website?

It was done for " Our State" which is the PBS affiliate here. I don't think it will air outside of North Carolina, and I don't watch enough TV in general to grasp the whole streaming TV thing... 
OMG- I just realized that I made a version of your ram cupcakes for a person that I work with. She brought me a pic from a alumni magazine that she gets and it had your bakery advertisement w/ the ram cupcake. I hope you don't mind!!! 
I have a pic of them somewhere, I'll have to get it and post.... she had me make them and drove w/ them 2 states away for a tailgating party!! Now I know who to give credit to!!!

Oh absolutely do post pictures...Those little rams are a pain in the patootie to make and we make about 2000 of them a year ( literally). I am curious what you charged her because we get $4.75 a cupcake for those little buggers.
Just watched the video, very well done and great job on your business. How exciting is that!!! Congrats, you can really tell you love what you do and are very passionate about it. Open 7 days a week?? O my gosh, that's a lot of work; how do you do it?

Well now I wish I would have known that.....I charged her $3.50 a piece! I'm sure after 2000 of them you could whip them up in your sleep!! LOL I'll find the pic and post!
Loved the video! You have such a wonderful shop!!! I would love it if you could tell me how you make the "Hot Fudge Sundae Cupcakes" It is too funny, I watched the video 3 times, on the third time I paused it on those cupcakes and I still have it paused in another window with the close up of those cupcakes. I think they are so cute and I would really like to make some. Would I pipe buttercream on in a icecream cone fashion, then pour melted chocolate overtop?
Thank you so much in advance and for sharing such an awesome look into your shop, really a nice place!
Hot fudge Sundae cupcakes have a large plain tip swirl ( Ateco 806 for those who are curious) of house buttercream, which is a modified IMBC. ( It is important that it be a higher fat buttercream for it to set up right). We pop them in the blast freezer for about 5 minutes so the BC is hard on the outside and drizzle ganache to make it look like hot fudge...sprinkles and a cherry..et volia!
Thanks so much Snarkybaker! I was thinking that I would possibly have to freeze first. I can't wait to make them!

Ok- finally uploaded the pic....here is my version of your cupcake!!!
Ohhh I love gelato! As soon as it warms up a bit I am going to stop by for some...delish! Did you know there is a gelato shop in Charlottesville, VA? I always stop by when I am in area. I don't remember the name but it's on the left...haha..Haven't been in awhile though and you certainly are a lot closer. That was a very nice piece.
Tiramisu. Cakes. Gelato. A Bar. These are things I dream of finding in one shop. Awesome shop and the video is great!
So what ranks as a gelato shop? We have 2 here...one not very good one, but I saw that you said you guys were the only ones between Miami and New York. I haven't has good gelato since I lived in California. I would die for some good gelato.
I have to say I have had thier gelato and she isnt kidding...its amazing! Whenever you guys are at the show, my step son always asks IS Sugarland bringing their gelato machine? He won't gelato anywhere else!
We keep meaning to drop by when we are on that side of town as we NEED a glass a wine after deliveries!
off subject, was great seeing you in January..how did your decemeber wedding cake special go?

We sold about 100 wedding cakes, and we took in about $20,000 in cash in the last two weeks of December, so it worked out great for us. I take on two interns from Johnson and Wales, and this is excellent experience for them to do A LOT of tiered cakes. Most of our work is just too specialized to let an intern at it, but by limiting the designs and height, it gives them 3 or 4 a week to work on, which is great.
I forgot to mention... I HATE WEDDING SHOWS...HATE HATE HATE THEM I don't like people touching my $3,000 cakes and breaking them, I don't like how grabby and rude people get, the ones that just point and grunt at flavor samples. It is absolutely a necessary evil of the business, but we are just about at the point that we won't go to the big cattle call shows, just the invitation only shows like the Umstead show and the Carolina Inn show...the rest just don't have the smae impact. Too many bakers are there.

That was SUCH a great idea! Can I copy it next year? (hahaha) We did our own specail and it booked up our spring really well, and got us a TON of grooms cakes orders which is wonderful! (they cost more then the wedding cakes sometimes!)
I agree with you on the wedding shows. you HAVE to do the January show, or everyone starts gossiping that you have gone out of buisiness! We are just going to stick to that one and some of the smaller shows that the bridal magazines hosts (we get more quality brides from those shows and they are more fun to do) We don't do the Carolina Inn show because we just dont do that many cakes for that side of town (it takes an hour to get to the Carolina Inn and we get bigger and better cake orders from the downtown Sheraton and the Radison hotels, which are 20 minutes away) The Umstead show is SOOO Pricey! Do you get many orders from it? I know the Umstead themselves has an exclusive with a bakery so you can't really book cakes with them. I am sticking to only 2-3 shows a year and a couple of Galas. Its crazy, I get a request every week from some charity to do some sort of Gala!!
Because we are a preferred vendor for several of the hotels, I don't get charged to attend them, which is awesome, since I always do at least one new dummy for a show, and I am always in for about 600 or more samples, plus gelato.
To me it is an invitation if I get to come and don't have to pay. If I have to pay, it is advertising sales, and that budget is VERY tightly regulated.
