Don't make that bear-head cake from Big V's link.
It will come to life and smother you to death in frosting.

That wasn't about a zombie apocalypse, that was just a general warning.

Sundae has it right. Cooled but not cold. Body temp is fine.

Not Easter Baskets?

I will make them as easter baskets next year. My brain obviously wasn't that creative this year. haha

Did the markets again today and sold out. Made a much larger profit thanks to sourcing cheaper products - especially packaging. Went from $2 per box down to 33 cents! Times that by 30, and I've covered the cost of my spot plus fuel and other sundries.

Now you can outsource the cupcakes to China, then all you have to do is count the money.

No. Wait. That would spoil everything. You didn't start this to make money, it was much more complex, and your success is a victory. The money is only a tangible way to keep score.

For the last month or so, I have been in the process of getting a license for my home baking so I can legally sell my product to the public.

Today they told me they can't approve my license because we have cats - even though they've been transferred to mostly outside (totally as far as the application goes) animals. It was a real kick in the guts to say the least. Now I have to choose between doing something I am really loving, and finding new homes for the pets I love. The thing that makes it even worse is that I put down the cats as pets a month ago when I filed the initial application.

Sometimes government departments really fucking suck balls. Arseholes.

Yeah, that sucks. However I can see why they have rules, and try to apply them evenly, because you and I both know there are people who would have their pets lounging on the counter while they're baking and not think twice about it. I realize that's not you but the government doesn't.

What now? Time to get creative.

Perhaps you could "loan" your cats to a friend while you sort it out.
Kidnap Abbott until they grant you and exemption.
Say, "I'm Indonesian and you're not the boss of me".

Tell them you're making burgers instead.

Very creative.

Why not resubmit the application and lie?
