FaithFest!!!

Saturday I sold Desserts and Bows at a Market days out in Bulverde called FaithFest. Each vendor had their own table. There were about 25 vendors there selling anything from jewelry to candles.It was my second year to do it but last year I only did desserts and I was 7 1/2 months pregnant and really wasn't into drawing a lot of business. This year I added bows to the mix. I had been making extra bows for weeks trying to get ready for it. I do my bows at night when Hannah is asleep and its like my little "escape time". I ended up with almost 50 bows to sell! I also made cupcakes and caramel apples.
Here are the cupcakes I decided to make. These are Chocolate with chocolate buttercream.
These are "my signature" Chocolate fudge pecan cupcakes. They are completely covered in Pecan Fudge icing.
These are Red velvet and Oreo!
I also made Pumpkin spice but forgot to take a picture. Another thing I made was caramel apples. Some plain with caramel and milk chocolate and the others were rolled in Oreo with milk and white chocolate drizzle.
I kept going back and forth on how I wanted to display my bows until I found the cutest Pink tree at Hobby Lobby. I decided to clip the bows on the branches and display some of them that way.
Here is my table!
My mom and dad helped me set up and my husband came a little later with Hannah. Hannah had a great time playing outside and seeing all the people. My sister came as well and helped with Hannah. We wanted to get her face painted and I really didn't know if she would sit still but she did great!
She got a Christmas tree with presents underneath.
Katie also took Han on the little train ride they had.
All in all it was a great day and I ended up making a pretty good amount of money. I sold almost everything!!!!

  8. Those are the cutest bows. We love BIG bows around here. And by "we" I mean me. My daughter - not so much. But it doesn't mean I don't try. And I think I gained 5 lbs. just by looking at those cupcakes. Yummy!
