The Sweetest Gesture!
Babycakes has been my passion for over two years now, almost three. When I leave my home and run a delivery, I am excited, sometimes nervous if the delivery is far and drive in sub zero temperatures to get those cupcakes there in cool condition and always grateful that I completed another job for someone's special day.
I sometimes get hugs, tips, a soft spoken "Thank you" from a shy child (those are the best!) and at times even asked to stay at the party but today something new happened and I have to say I am still smiling from ear to ear. No one has EVER done this before!!!
I delivered cupcake favors to a restaurant for a Communion. The order had been initiated on the computer and then we spoke on the phone. When discussing flavors, I explained that I stick to the basics...chocolate, vanilla, chocolate chips, etc....I casually mentioned the big names like Crumbs, Sprinkles and Magnolia Bakery. They offer a long list of flavor variety while I do not. I joked that I had never tried anything but Crumbs. I arrived before the party started, before the guests and was greeted by the customer's sister. She "delivered" a message from her sister who was on her way and handed me a bag...the cute paper ones with handles. To my delight and surprise, Christine (the customer) had purchased cupcakes for ME from the big name places located in NYC. I still cannot believe the gesture, so thoughtful and SWEET SWEET SWEET!
I couldn't wait to thank her and give her a hug! It was the best part of my day for sure! I had to control my urge to even open the boxes up,they were sealed down by adorable stickers. The one from Sprinkles, even had a THANK YOU cupcake sticker on it. I love the packaging! I came home to photograph them for your viewing pleasure and then shared them with my family. They were very delicious and I felt so rewarded! My little home based business and my cupcakes felt the love big time! THANK YOU so much Christine and Shawn, you truly made my day!
This may prompt me to make a testimonial link on the blog!
