Today is the best day of my week, creation and fantasy. I sit down and find natural concentrated flavours from top fruit artisans who then supply me with sample pots. I have a process of testing the flavours with my eyes closed and then have a small intake of the aromas. Then comes the small tastes followed by the big spoon.
This week, I have some new ideas, a hint of chocolate coffee ganache topping with my favourite butter cream mix. This went down well yesterday with my friends, they are so fussy, but honest. And when one of them who says coffee is not her thing, is now converted.
This was followed by my new ganache range; orange, lime, peppermint, strawberry, dark chocolate 85%, white chocolate, honey, cappuccino and caramel.
The whole production kitchen was smelling of fruit and chocolate sweetness. The testing will be my new round of potential clients and 1 new restaraunt. The small run will be around 100 cupcakes split into 10 flavour sections. Since Friday is my new week round, I will increase the production from 3 to 4 days to expand on Fridays potential new clients and customers.
My weekly list for Saturday and Sunday is almost full, but its a sellout in its own right in terms of sales.
The cupcakes tomorrow may have some hidden features on the filling that are top secret, so, I will expect more questions on what is inside the centre filling.
Since swapping all of my cheap off the shelf for high end quality chocolate from the chocolate artisan, the response from my existing customers and the feedback has been brilliant.
