Paper, get your very own article in the paper!!

Here's my two cents worth,
Last Friday night we had a interview with our local paper. He was a nice guy and brought a sweet girl as his photographer. Really didn't think much about it. We enjoyed traveling down memory lane with him and sharing a little of our family history and how we even got the idea of working together. However, I really didn't think much would come of it. Low and behold on Monday, Debbie's husband, Steve calls and tells her we are on the front page and have 3 pictures and 3 different pages of information.Wow and wow were we ever surprised. So... you have to go onto the Waxahachie Daily light web site and look on Monday June 23rd and you can see a great article about Debbie and me and our sweet little shop.Until next time, keep eating those cupcakes.
Bless you,

We got on!!!

You don't know how excited I was when I got an e-mail back from Rachel from the Blog site Cupcakes take the Cake. She acknowledged my email and said she would try to add our information in the next few days. Well to my surprise and delight, the very next day I went to take my daily browse and....we were there!!! Two Sisters Cupcakes in Waxahachie, Texas on THE Cupcake blog site!!! I told everyone it was like having the Martha Stewart of cupcakes read and respond to my email!!! LOL!!! She did make a point of letting us know we should add all the important information about our hours and location to the site. I had just done that the day after I sent her the email knowing it might be something she would notice I had missed. She must have gone to the site before I had a chance to post. It's OK, I am not taking it personal. I know she was just trying to help our business!!
We have just been praying that we would get a little busier and have more people know about us. Well, I can only imagine between this and I didn't mention yet but we were interviewed by a reporter from our local paper, how busy we could get. He asked us how we got started and all kinds of information. He even brought a photographer! He is doing a story about our shop and the cupcakes. Carol told him she is even thinking about having a local cupcake challenge sometime in the fall. It's all good and all GOD! I promise pictures will be added soon!!

I E-mailed My Favorite Cupcake Blog site!!

Oh My Goodness!! I am so excited. I just sent an email to my favorite cupcake blog. Cupcakes Take the Cake is just a great place to see what is going on in the "cupcake world". I wanted them to know what an inspiration the site had been for us. Now who knows how long it will be before they even have a chance to look at my email to them, but just knowing it is out there and they may come look at our little blog site!! Exciting!! But after sending it I thought I don't know what information I have not included on this site that is really needed for the general public to find us. So our shop is located in Historic Downtown Waxahachie, Texas. We are inside My Fathers House Antique Store at 308 S. Rogers St. Our phone number for orders is 972-923-4463. We are open Tuesday- Saturday 10:00 - 3:00. Right now we have summer hours Tuesday - Friday 10:00 - 2:00 and Saturday 10:00 - 4:00. Carol Ann has four girls and they need to have some summer "fun time" so that is the reason for the summer hours. I will post more pictures very soon!! I promise!!

What a weekend! (little sisters view)

What a weekend. This past weekend was the Gingerbread trail here in Waxahachie Texas. That means a group of people who live in our community volunteer to open there house for thousands of people to walk through and look at there home. What this meant to us, was more people in the store buying our sandwiches and eating and adoring our cupcakes.
Saturday was a great day. Debbie went cupcake crazy. On a day to day basis we have one flavor of the day. On Saturday we sometimes will have 2 maybe 3. But this last Saturday there was, I think 5 flavors. People couldn't get enough. It's always about the taste, but there is a small element of the look of the cupcake, and the cute factor. We took some great pictures and soon I'll get Debbie to post those so you can look at how pretty and scrumptious our cupcakes are. Until next time, EAT More cupcakes!
