Read excerpt
I’ll start this off with the updates I know no one was waiting for, but here they are anyway: we have AC!!! We have all new appliances, and everything is slowly returning to normal. I even wore long pants inside the house yesterday. It’s also the first week since probably April or May that the high won’t be above 90 degrees, and so the seasonal depression is wearing off, too.By the time I send this, we’ll be three Cakehaus markets/pop-ups into the month, with another one happening later in the d

Where do I even begin?!Two weeks ago, everything was looking great. September was shaping up to be a great month for Cakehaus, with a full schedule that we even managed to post in advance for the first time since January.

CED Report #2: All questions, no answers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oh, hi. It’s me again... Of course, I surprise-dropped my first CED Report and then kind of ghosted.
