A little disappointed :(

Well, i went to this cute little cupcake shop called Jane's Frosting in san antonio,tx. It is too cute for words. It is a little shop on Main by Fratelli's italian restaurant in a little strip shopping center. It sold small, regular, and Jumbo cupcakes of all kinds. It also sold antiques, bags, designer cooking aprons, and knick knacks, kind of cute only we had small children with us. The store had a cozy appearance, but i was a little disappointed with the cupcake taste. I got a carrot cake, my hubby got an almond joy cupcake, and the boys shared a strawberry and coconut cupcake. They all looked so good in the glass counter, but a little too sweet. Nope, it was alot too sweet. I could not enjoy the cake because it was way too sweet. :( I had an idea about three years ago to open up a cupcake coffee/tea shop. I love making cupcakes!! I have made them for all occasions. I have done bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, and other various parties for fun. I love to learn about different varieties of cupcakes. My husband and i went on vacation to New York city about a year ago and we saw these cute little cupcake shops all around Manhatten. Some sold cupcakes, sandwiches, bread, etc. with tea, coffee, and slushes. I only want to open up a store that specializes in cupcakes with tea/coffee. I would probably need some other things to incorporate into this plan, but it's a work in progress. I guess there are many of us that have other aspirations than our daily job.
I got my degree in English/History minor with certification 8-12 (i have to update it every five years), but i have not used it since Enzo was born. I wanted to stay home with him for awhile. Well, now that he is turning 3 in June--i will be going back into the workforce at Northside Independent School District. I am already an employee there, but i could never commit to full-time. Now i will be a full timer come this fall 2008. It will be crazy, but i have all summer to refresh and prepare myself. Lately, i have been subbing and tutoring in Northside (subbing & tutoring), Edgewood (tutoring), and Alamo Heights (tutoring). Well, it's only like 20 hours a week. I will officially commit myself this summer to my boys before i head out into the work world once again. So, i just wanted to give the cupcake review at Jane's frosting. It was a cute idea, but needs a little improvement with the flavor. :)
