My goodness I love writing haikus, thanks for this!
I walk through the door,
The city buzz-chaos calms;
Cupcakes promise peace.A sigh of relief
as cupcakes clear the fog in
my head; enter Bliss.This dainty cupcake –
it deserves to be eaten
with a dainty fork.Each bite I take tells
a singularity of
purpose: heal thyself. -

I just found out about your bakery and was recently diagnosed with celiac disease. I can’t tell you how excited I am that you have gluten and wheat free cupcakes and desserts!! My birthday is coming up and I was just assuming I’d had to pass on cake, or live with a stomach ache. But now I can have my cake and eat it too thanks to you! Thank you so much!!
Here are a few haikus I wrote in your honor 🙂
