Journal: Melinda Bobbin
I hope all of you out there is enjoying Christmas. I know I am. Things are fairly busy this year with more people recognising the wonders of using amazing cakes for centrepieces, which makes for some interesting challenges for me.

That being said, this year’s yule logs are a hit. Just last week we’ve had two groups of customers in to learn how to make the almond pinecones and this week we’ve another planned for Thursday right after closing.

New Years is coming up very soon, so now’s the time to get any orders for New Year’s Eve in.

In other news; on January 1st, I will be taking over full ownership of Sweet Nothings. It was always the plan to have the shop be closed the first two weeks of January for renovations, but with these new changes, Sweet Nothings will be closed for all of January, with a grand opening and revealing of a slightly new concept and a brand new menu. Those of you who have already ordered for special occasions in January, you can rest assured that they will still be done, and I will be taking in a few more orders, should the occasion rise, but it’ll be on a case by case basis.

[Private to Bryn]
As the shop will be closed for all of January rather than just the originally planned 2 weeks, I wanted to hear if you’d be interested in doing the hours you’re usually here on something else (like delivery or helping with the new menu)?

So
I
Yeah

	If you ever do an ad, you could note they're almost too lovely to eat. Almost. Or that they taste as good as they look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Definitely something to keep in mind, though I've not yet made a centrepiece that wasn't meant to be eaten. By now, it seems, that I've made enough of a name for the shop that people who recognise the name know they can expect something that looks good, and usually tastes even better. You work in advertising? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's why I added the almost in twice. No. I work behind the bar at Wingbeat. Although I suppose i advertise the club's drink as much as any other bartender might. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm, bartenders always struck me more as counsellors or therapists than advertisers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To me, that is a misconception. Or with me, it is a misconception. One of the two! But I've yet to serve a patron looking for advice and therapy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Admittedly; I'm speaking from what I know of stereotypes, as I'm only likely to spend time by the bar if I know people there. No doubt there's more than one type of people tending bars, just like with any other profession. (Reply to this) (Parent)
