What to Make Next?

I have been dabbling a lot lately. We just came back from Disney. One of our stops was Universal Studios Orlando and of course Harry Potter Land. I love Harry Potter. That said, I got pumpkin juice while I was there and butter beer.
I got bored the other night and started to play. I was able to recreate the Pumpkin Juice. My son said he liked it better than what was in the park. Butter Beer is going to take a little more science because of the complex level of the flavor. But that not to say I'm trying.
Then there is the Chai Tea project. Just something I am beginning with mixing. Its a fall month. So I have been working on breads and scones. Not the Utah scones, real ones. Pumpkin scones. I am toying with the idea of putting all this on Etsy or actually building a website that I can have people purchase items off of...

Its all a work in progress..
These were the pumpkin scones I had made before I labeled them.
This was at the Farmers Market.


Halloween Treats

So I have been working job 1 and my business to create a bunch of things for an event I was invited to show up at. I have been doing Candy coated Oreos and Chocolate pretzels. A whole bunch of stuff. working to hopefully get my name out there and have a working business.
The jelly has been going great too. I have had a few people ask for more jelly jars. Nothing steady yet. But  Dragon Fire Jelly is on the rise.



Etsy

This is a huge learning experience for me. I am frustrated and I want nothing more than to pull down my store. There are tons of people on there that think that the shop keeper owes them everything.

I recently had a very bad experience on there.  That being said, it was my first customer. She didn't look at all the pictures and she didn't ask any specific questions about the product. I thought she wanted a variety of the cookies. Wrong, apparently me being a mind reader, I should have known it was a zombie party and that she wanted black and white eye balls and brains. So she has requested that I return all her money and shipping. If she is lucky she will get her money back and not the shipping. I have to throw out all the cookies she sends back because I have no clue what she has done to them and its  food rule policy that you cant resell food once it has left the kitchen. But according to her correspondence with me I have inconvenienced her for not putting enough information on my site. I have on the site in the description that if you want custom cookies and colors to contact me and be specific about it. I guess it wast bold enough for her to read or she just didn't bother.
