<h2>I'm literally indebted to my creditor, but I'm metaphorically indebted to a large cast of supporters and well wishers. Marc and I have talked about my owning a place for a long time, but I always assumed that, if it happened, it would be years from now. Arguably having a diverse group of experts helped make this happen a lot sooner: I could focus on the details of developing the business (and my skills), and turn to my friends and family when I had a question that was beyond my expertise. I honestly believe it would have taken me a lot longer, had I done everything all on my own. I think thanking people is important, no matter how small the contribution - good deeds should not go unnoticed. Thanking people is my way of saying "Not for a second do I take your existence or time for granted." So without further delay: </h2>Stacey Holton for her amazing graphic design skills, enthusiasm, and for being the closest thing I have to a co-worker (so far). Jessie at CakeSpy for telling me a long time ago I had a knack for baking. Kit for the inspiration for the business name. Aunt Janice, life-long friend and source of support, whose references never fail to impress people. Sweet Lady J(udy), my best friend. Alex(andra) for always cheering me on. Wendy and Sasa. Emily. Shannon and Matt, but especially Shannon, and her keen eye and editorial insight. Kate and her positive wisdom and willingness to participate in Operation: Pastry Drop. Shana for her support. Colin and Kristy. Eric and Stef. The Ladies at Your Perfect Bridesmaid. Peg Leg Meg and Jessie Jo. Tressa. Everyone who took the time to review the menu and offer feedback. McTabby and her Furnimals (all googleperfillion of them). Turk. Jason and Cheryl. Delvin. Mr. T for his general brotherly support. Bao for always scheming. The Nerds at You-Know-Where for willingly volunteering to be my guinea pigs and eat everything I baked. Janice (East Coast Janice). Maggie for her enthusiasm. Professor Coldheart for his mad SEO skillz. Anz, my very first taste tester. And finally, my husband, Marc. For all the good reasons.
