Today I received a notice that the bakery had appeared on <a href="http://gocitykids.parentsconnect.com/attraction/Monkey-Business-Bakery-440-Main-Street-Berwick-ME-03908-US">go city kids</a>. This is the first time someone besides myself has submitted the bakery to some sort of listing and review service! Feels pretty good, don't know why.<div><br /></div><div>So Thank You to whom ever submitted us and to the 5 people who have rated us so far!</div><div><br /></div><div>-Jake</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778092673810264528-2989960005130731883?l=monkeybusinessbakery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13082045116725743451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778092673810264528.post-12502785868530661912009-04-03T17:51:00.000-07:002009-04-03T18:16:53.108-07:00Hi Folks,<br /><br />We've recently started making Vermont Crunchies. They're gluten free cookies that are so good we're having a hard time keeping our monkey paws off of the retail supply. With ingredients like peanut butter, oats, raisins, pecans AND chocolate chips they're chewy and crunchy. These cookies are a wonderful treat for everyone, not just those that can't have gluten. So please feel free to stop in, say hi and give these little treasures a try.<br /><br />~Andrea<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778092673810264528-1250278586853066191?l=monkeybusinessbakery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16923050775077944296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778092673810264528.post-48921903532140222442009-03-20T17:52:00.000-07:002009-03-20T17:57:44.779-07:00So, waaaay back in October Nicole and Andrea did a cake for a little girl's birthday. Her grandmother works at our bank and before she ordered it she was telling me that she was going to order either a princess cake or something Halloween themed... She ended up ordering a mummy face cake after seeing one that Nicole had done while at school. The kids all loved it and since it was completely edible they had a great time eating the whole thing -- spiders included!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iJufJqWLJws/ScQ7OGxdd6I/AAAAAAAAAG0/FEWA_ujTzZs/s1600-h/Mummy+Face+%232.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iJufJqWLJws/ScQ7OGxdd6I/AAAAAAAAAG0/FEWA_ujTzZs/s320/Mummy+Face+%232.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315438573726300066" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778092673810264528-4892190353214022244?l=monkeybusinessbakery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13082045116725743451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778092673810264528.post-18551351259853417882009-03-20T15:13:00.001-07:002009-03-20T15:17:27.757-07:00Well, this blog is finally linked to the webpage. I don't know if anyone will ever read any of this, but I wanted a place to be able to tell some of the stories behind the cakes. Hopefully Nicole and Andrea will participate... They seemed willing to and fairly excited about the concept when I first mentioned it, but it has taken a few months for me to get around to actually getting this up on the website -- we'll see. <div><br /></div><div>Check back in and hopefully we'll have something to entertain you!!</div><div><br /></div><div>-Jakew</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778092673810264528-1855135125985341788?l=monkeybusinessbakery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13082045116725743451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778092673810264528.post-4236831075721625892008-10-24T00:49:00.001-07:002008-10-24T00:49:25.656-07:00<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p>Quoted from <cite>http://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox/11d1d7c19705920e</cite>:</p> <blockquote style='margin-bottom: 0;'> <p><a href='http://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox/11d1d7c19705920e'> Gmail - RE: October 4th Cupcakes - monkeybizbakery@gmail.com </a></p> Hello Nicole,<br/> <br/> Wejust wanted to thank you for our wedding cakes on October 4th.

Funny thought that I would actually be able to write in a blog on a regular basis... What with the two jobs plus the bakery, I guess I could find a few minutes once a week to put something up. Maybe we'll do featured cakes... that would be great. Better than trying to update the website on a frequent basis. Anyway... welcome.
