The Cupcakery

Contribution by Saul Martin
As you guys know, I’m opening my new cupcake shop early next month! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it, but there’s so much to do before opening day! There are a lot of loose ends to tie up with the store itself, including the flooring and signage for the front door. I’ve pretty much got all my recipes down pat, so that part I’m not too concerned about.

One of the most challenging parts of opening this business has been the technology portion. I’m not very techie, so just getting the website up and running and learning how to register domain name options has been a big struggle for me. I’ve had a lot of help from my more tech savvy friends, but I’ve sort of thrown myself in to try and learn! I need to get an SSL certificate set up on my site so it can start processing credit card transactions but other than that, it’s pretty much completed. It looks great, at least! I’ll definitely keep you guys updated once the doors are opened in March!
