Dear Green Heart Friends,

It just keeps getting earlier, earlier! I plan to arise at 3 am this Sunday in a (new) attempt at making the Reubens, loading up, and getting to Rillito in time to get ALL SET UP before 8, when the first customers arrive. Let's see how I do!

Zoe has resigned, so Leila will assist some Sundays, and possibly James, who will also assist in the kitchen this Saturday. I know James (and his wife) from the market; he responded to my Kitchen Angel Wanted post on Facebook. Thank goodness!

Prices. Sticker shock. I see them, and get it. Leila and I intend to do some "costings" when we get a chance. (I'm sure you're experiencing it, too.) Our prices are creeping up, too, as I know you've noticed. Ugh. That's it. I just felt I should acknowledge the situation, period.

We delivered a little less to Midtown Vegan Deli the past 2 weeks, focusing on the weekends (Easter, and Earth Day) -- now looks like there is someone there (Noel) who is avidly watching and promoting our baked goods so that we can find out what has sold, or not. And so, we're back at it, having already sent a big order this morning, and another planned for the weekend.

And special cakes!

This was a simple wedding cake that went to Vivace for a young couple from Louisville, KY, who came to Tucson for the weekend, and got married. Organic chocolate cake, filled and frosted with our silken tofu chocolate frosting, then on top of that - a fluffy vegan buttercream. She wanted Apricot Mallow wildflowers on the cake, and fortunately, we have some growing on our property :-)

This was a last-minute Tofu Uncheesecake for a birthday party at Zeman's, also Saturday night. This is topped with organic berries and glazed in apricot preserves.

For tonight, I have a large Lemon Raspberry cake covered in gold. Photo to come later......

Thank you in advance, as always, for your order - and please try to have it in by Thursday night.

In health,

Alaine
