How Bitty Bites Began
"I'm a smart girl! I can figure this out!" If there is something I see and I want to create it for myself, I'll figure it out. It's one of my better traits. Most of my creative outlets have been through decorating, drawing, and painting murals and fabrics. To take something drab and turn into fab, inspires me!
This bitty bites journey began in Spring of 2009. While thumbing through an advertising mail-out, I spotted an advertisement for cake truffles. Ooooohhh! Those look cute and yummy! Being a smart girl who can figure this out, I set out searching on the internet on how to make them myself. When it comes to recreating a dish, my first stop is allrecipes. Sure enough, I found cake balls. I made them. I liked them. Others liked them. It was another dessert to add to my recipe box. I only add our favorites to the recipe box.
Then in Fall of 2010, I went back to allrecipes because I wanted to make them again. I check back to the original source of recipes for helpful hints and suggestions. As I flipped through the photos, something had changed. Cake balls had become creative and fun! And sometimes they're stuck on a lollipop stick! As I read through the comments they kept referring to Bakerella. So being a smart girl who can figure things out, I searched for Bakerella. WOW! I can cook and be visually creative??? Woo-hoo! I think I found my niche.
My first Bitty Bite?
In December 2010, I took the plunge and began experimenting with cake pops and truffles and sold them at a holiday craft show. My intention was to become familiar with the process and create my own designs to eventually become a cottage business. As of January 2011 we've made over 500 bitty bites and have been getting positive feedback. Throwing ourselves in the fire really helped to learn the different components of the process.
