Leaving sweets… April 26, 2008
When I go to visit friends or just if i am working in a place for a little while, I like to bring something sweet. When I worked at Exhibition Prints Inc. (now defunct), almost every day around 3pm our blood sugar would dip and no matter how busy we were, we would send someone out for a sugar run. Chocolate was always a popular choice.
Recently since I don’t have ONE place that I work, I have been bringing cookies or cupcakes, etc to friends at their places of work. If I am having a lull in my pastry orders or if I have left over cake batter (which happens often) or cookie dough, I love to find an excuse to use those things up. Bringing treats like this either announced or as a surprise always elicits smiles. I took the picture of the cookies on their way to their brief home at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the cupcakes I personalized for my friends at My Own Color Lab, where I have been doing freelance printing.
Not only does it make me happy to help my friends get through their work days, it is a good networking tool as well. I suppose it would work better if I could just get a business card printed. I’m working on it!!
