Cheeky Treats ~ It's 5:50 a.m. e.s.t.!

So - I was up at 4:37 a.m. because I actually thought it was 7:00 a.m.  That's right. . .you guessed it. . . my clock was set wrong.  Must've been one of the children!  Doesn't matter, because I acutally wanted to start my day at 3:30 a.m.  I'm a "snoozer" people, and every time that rancid alarm goes off (which is set to 107.5 Kool fm, btw), I get a sick feeling in my stomach and slam on that "SNOOZE" button, then delicately fall back into the delicious dream I was dreaming. 

When the clock showed 7:00 a.m. I'll be honest. . . I panicked.  For you see, people, I am a professional baker.  I own Cheeky Treats ~ The Cupcake Boutique, and I have many orders for today and the weekend, as well as a couple of donations to whip up and deliver.  I typically do not sleep on Friday nights because I prepare all night to sell at the Barrie Farmer's Market.  My goal today is to get all my work done by 6:00 p.m. so that I can have dinner with my boyfriend and his three sons. 

Let's see what happens.  This is what I actually have to accomplish:

1.  make brownies
2.  make 2 chocolate pecan pies- 1 x 11", 1 x 10"
3.  make 1 lemon meringue pie
4.  bake 60 Red Velvet cupcakes (my specialty)
5.  bake 60 Chocolate classic cupcakes
6.  bake 48 Vanilla~illa~illa cupcakes
7.  bake and pipe 30 assorted flavoured teenies
8.  make cookies - not sure what kind yet. . .any suggestions?
9.  make whoopie pies - Chocolate and Red Velvet
10.  make brownie pops
11.  press 40 apples for homemade apple cider
12.  Three deliveries

I think I'm forgetting some things . . .oh, yeah:
13.  make old-school batman cupcakes (x 24)
14.  prep icing and toppings for a kids birthday tomorrow - the parents want the children to decorate their own cupcakes so I must prep 8 icings (all different colours) and find 8 toppings for the kids to decorate their cupcakes with - it's fun

I think that's it for now.

Oops:
15.  make lunch for my kidlettes
16.  take them to school
17.  do laundry

Yup - the list looks daunting, but I can do it somehow.  I'll let you know how it goes!
