Cupcake Frenzy

Wednesday, 22 November 2006

Whenever I can fit it in, I've been sending Jon to Hydro with between 20 & 40 cupcakes to sell with profits split between the Breast Cancer Foundation and me.   They haven't sold as fast as the Mark Webber Fundraising ones as they don't have the team members taking them to the floors and personally selling - they've just had to sit and pretty much sell themselves. Last night I did a batch of Choc-Orange ones with spikey chocolate bits coming out of the top (sorry no photo - shouldda, but didna) - and I also sent him with 7 reject individual mini mud cakes (part of an order for this weekend but these 7 didn't make the quality control guidelines - I always make extra so I can keep the best ones).  I wasn't sure they'd sell cos apart from piping a lamo heart on top, they were very unadorned!  anyway - this is what Jonno (Jonathan to his collegues) claims occured upon his arrival:

Here's how it went: 

8:56 AM Get out of car carrying 3 boxes of cupcakes etc
8:58 AM Get in lift, say hi to Stephanee who arrives at same time
8:59 AM Stephanee decides against getting out on 7, continues on to 8 with me and inspects cupcakes
9:00 AM Crowd gathers, Stephanee takes two boxes and disappears down to 7
9:01 AM Crowd demands to know how cupcakes could be jaffa(!) flavoured; Jonathan makes phone call to lovely wife
9:02 AM Whilst on phone crowd throws money at Jonathan, now demanding change. Jonathan ascertains cupcakes are in fact choc-orange...
9:03 AM Desperate couple (Kirsten and Andrew) demand to know where Stephanee is with last remaining mini-cakes (very popular item due to novelty factor).
9:05 AM Desperate couple return with junkie-like satisfaction glowing across their faces and mini-cakes in hand.
9:10 AM Stephanee returns with empty boxes, takes two more cupcakes and leaves only two lonely cupcakes remaining...
9:16 AM Kirsten sends delirious email to random people rhapsodising over mini-cake. Follows up two minutes later with correct recipients addressed this time.

That is satisfying!!
