    Hey, girl! I understand you opened on Tuesday! I soon have a full time staff starting and I might breeze up one day if I can ever teach her to froth adequately. I'm hoping all is going well. Sorry to have dropped off the face of the earth in July, but my Mom passed away. I'm back and willing to help in any way. Stop by and check out our new addition in Sutherland.

    What are your hours Monday? I should be able to leave Sutherland about 10 am and I'll bring whipping cream with me if you have a mixer. I use a stand mixer for convenience sake. If you have pastry sheets and a tip you can fill those. If not you can buy the cannister that whips it for you for under $40 and just get cartridges as needed. You won't need a mixer for that and its alot tidier and quicker..... very convenient. This is the optimum in convenience. Personally, I just buy the whipped cream in aerosol cans by the case and they seem to last a while. I do special whipped cream for mochas, however. I will show you how.
