My Baby is Ten

by Kelly Gilion
Last week Anni, my baby, turned 10.  When I opened Plume she was 2.  Thinking about that is just about too much for me right now.  She's grown up in the shop.  She doesn't remember when I was "just mom".   We spent some time looking at old videos and pictures and I'm telling you...I needed a minute.   Where has the time gone?

Here are some pics...


She wanted a "puppy party"... and these balloons were perfect. 


She's just such a funny and sweet kid.


She loves Cookie Cakes and this one from Hyvee was so cute.  We had this at home the evening of her birthday.


And then for school, our Bake Shoppe did these little individual boxed cupcakes and I added some puppy picks I found. 

Speaking of cupcakes, we had our first orders for Graduation Cupcakes last week. 


Mizzou had their 2020 Graduation Ceremony last weekend, with 2021 ceremonies these next 2 weekends.  If you have a Mizzou Grad to celebrate, we'd love to help you!   Our Bake Shoppe "Grad Trio" Cupcakes includes Chocolate Vanilla and Strawberry Cupcakes topped with your school's sprinkle colors.   (All colors available!)
 

We also had a super fun time hosting Kappa Kappa Gamma Mom's weekend in our Gathering Room.   We hosted pairings of mothers & daughters for cupcake tastings and packaged their cupcakes up in our little 4-pack boxes.   


You can order Cupcake 4-packs HERE. 

And if you'd like to use our Gathering Room to host your next small event, more info on that HERE
 
We're excited to help you love on your mom's and all the other special ladies in your life.  We know that Mother's Day is hard for some of you, and we want to be here for you too.  Many of our sweetest gifts this season are not "Mom" or "Mothers Day" specific in honor of all the many women in your life, not just moms.

We love these Cookie Bouquet Boxes from Kiss Me Cookies.  Each box contains 5 beautiful & delicious decorated sugar cookie Tulips...perfect for gifting. 

We also have put together a very Limited Edition (We only have 7!)  gift basket.  We love that the tags say "To the Most Beautiful Person",making them perfect for so many of the women in your life.  Moms, sisters, daughters, friends, aunts, grandmas, teachers...
 

 
Gift baskets are filled with 7 of our favorite items, gathered in a handmade felt flower adorned basket from Heartgrooves Handmade.  Beth has also created the most lovely gift tags for the baskets.   Each basket has a retail value of $124 and we are offering for $99. 

And we're happy to have Joan from Cultivate Co. back this year with gorgeous fresh spring bouquets... as well as these amazing DIY Grow Your Own Cut Garden Baskets 
 
 
So many other great gifts in the shop this week...and our bakery case is loaded with cupcakes, macarons, cookies and gourmet popcorn too!   

Looking forward to seeing you!
