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.

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

Well, there's a difference between being able to pay for amazing treats and being willing/insane to pay for insane perfection. Wanting 25 x 5 bûches with shining glace to be exactly alike and being willing to pay for the extra time and the 30 x 5 extra bûches to get them but without wanting the supposedly imperfect ones? That's just, well, insane. Not that I'm complaining, some people just have too much money, I think.

For the yule logs there's a lot of leeway. The one you've ordered is simply a larger version than the ones we have on the regular December menu, so I'll be baking both vanilla and chocolate in the morning. Whether I use one or the other doesn't really matter, hence why it really, truly, won't be a bother to have the order change up until then.

It's pretty crazy, but it keeps me busy, keeps my head off other things and it gives me an excuse to listen to Muggle Christmas music on repeat.

How are things in the store?

	Muggle Christmas music on repeat? Remind me to strengthen the sound muffling charms in my flat (just kidding, I promise!) The store's fine, big shopping season. What are you trying to keep your mind off? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good Muggle music on repeat. This woman just has the most amazing voice, making it even better. Swamped in seasonal shoppers? ~~I don't have time to curl up and cry over another~~ Let's just say that not everybody's as lucky as Lavender to have a loving and attentive boyfriend, yeah?

	Yes, boyfriend. According to the dictionary: boy·friend noun \ˈbȯi-ˌfrend\ : A man that someone is having a romantic or sexual relationship with. (Reply to this) (Parent)
