Bittersweet Cupcake Saturday


So, it has been an interesting couple of weeks for me.  The culmination of the past few weeks came to me giving my two weeks notice at the toy store on Saturday.  I have a lot of mixed feelings about it.  But, at the end of the day, I deserve to make a wage that suits my abilities, experience and work ethic.  I also want a career, not a job.  So, I am moving on to bigger and better things.  I am excited, VERY excited.  I will miss the toy store.  Luckily, the new job will be right across the street so I will be in my same neighborhood.  It is a great opportunity for me and it is really where I belong at this point in my life.  I need challenges and opportunity and appreciation for my skills and abilities.  I see that happening in my new position.
So, I gave my notice first thing in the morning and could actually relax and look forward to my future!  I was hoping that the flavor of the day at Cupcake Charlie's would match my spirit...and boy, was I happy that it did!  Bittersweet, indeed! :)  The flavor of the day was Snickers!  It is a rich and moist chocolate cupcake filled with caramel and nuts!  On top is a layer of chocolate frosting, topped with a dollop of peanut butter frosting (which is the BEST frosting at Cupcake Charlie's!).  That is topped with nuts and a slice of Snickers candy bar.  This cupcake was so rich and sweet.  I really savored it.   It was the perfect ending to an up and down and then up again week. 
I start my new job mid-Oct.  I hope to continue my cupcake journey.  :)  Since I will definitely be given a bonafide lunch break every day (unlike my current situation of standing at the counter and eating my lunch between customers...ugh.), I see no reason for my sweet adventures to end!  :)  Until next week!
