Thank You for Supporting My Small Business

Just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone that has been buying my baked goods and treats from the Aroma Cafe! You aren't supporting one but two businesses when you do so 🥰 
Watch for the posts this week to see what I'll be making. 
There will be chocolate peanut butter cake, possibly Dubai pistachio cake, fruit pizza 👀, dessert cups (yes Dubai ones too), and dare I say Dubai and Cosmic brownies.
 You guys bought 56 brownies in 2 days last week 👏
 Who all is craving some this week???
 🎂Cake orders🍰 Please get them booked asap. I'm booked for this weekend unless it's something small. I'm pretty open the rest of August and Sept for special orders.
 I will not be available the weekend of Sept 19th-21st as I'll be at the Bavarian Fall Fest 😃
 I can't believe Fall is just around the corner. I know I'm ready for pumpkin, maple, and spice flavored goodies! 🙏We're still working on getting our own place in town to move both our businesses into so keep the good vibes coming!
