How to handle customers who ask for cookies that are not too sweet:

Suggest our shortbread as it is more butter based and will not be as sugary as your normal cookie.  

However, for those who insist that our shortbread is still too sweet... ask them if they want a cracker.  Because any cookie less sweet is basically a cracker.  

Kidding, sort of.  

Goodness, I hope no one outside of KK sees this.

Kookies for a Kause

Hello Everyone!

It's been awhile since I've posted but I feel like you all are up-to-date.

I wanted to dedicate this post to emphasizing "Kookies for a Kause".

It makes my heart happy to see everyone's participation in the decoration of the store.  Everything looks great! (Even the little boy cut-outs that look like Stewie's nemesis from Family Guy)

We are about halfway through the month and a little behind on goal.  Of course I would love to hit goal but the most important thing is that we fund-raise as much as we can for School On Wheels.

If we hit 16k that will be $3200 or 128 backpacks or an insane amount of pencils, pens, notebook, etc...

Today, I had my first full tutoring session with my student.  She's a very bright 8-year-old who loves to read, doesn't really like math, and would rather tell you all about what she read instead of write it out.

At the end of our session I asked her what her favorite animal was.  She said she loves cats and I asked if she also likes tigers.  Her eyes lit up and she ran to her room.  Right before she opened the door she gave me a disclaimer, "Just to let you know my tiger was real when I got him but now he turned fake."  She then brought out a plush tiger about the size of a real-life baby tiger and showed him off as if he were an actual living pet.  She had a real/fake Hobbes!  Anyway, this definitely reminded me of Jordan but it also reminded me of what it was to be that age and believe anything was possible.  I cannot imagine what this girl has been through already and she's a third of my age.  I'm very excited to see her progress through the school year and I am determined to get her to divide with ease before my time with her is up.

Hopefully, my experience can help all of you believe we are doing a great thing as a company.  I know it's not the busiest month of the year but we could make it one of the most important by pushing Kookies for a Kause and educating all of customers about our kause.

Photo from this past Monday's Night Mission.  Pretty much everyone from the bakery and myself will be going to MNM on July 29th if anyone wants to join.  We will eat somewhere in LA around 6pm if you want to just join us for a dinner.  It would be a good opportunity for you to hang with your Bakery counterparts.  Also, it would be an excellent semi-early bday present to me if you would all join us.  Anyway, think about it and let me know!
