Check it out here:

http://desmondandbeatrice.com/blog/2011/7/17/db-on-bnn-wtf.html

Over the Holidays Michael came back to follow up with our growth and to see where we're heading in the future!

http://watch.bnn.ca/the-close/december-2011/the-close-december-28-2011/#clip592323

It was our busiest retail day of the Holiday season with 30 dozen cupcakes, 9 dozen cookies, and a series of other orders.  I put on my best face for the interview and tossed a bunch of cupcakes to the fab producer begging for edits to make me look like a financial wizard!

We had loads of calls the day after The Close feature aired... lot's of Kingston-ites wondering where to buy!

Thanks Michael for your time and support of our small business!
