Wow I'm tired

I've been a bad blogger.  *smacks own hand
I know I haven't updated in forever.  Not that anyone probably cares.  No one ever comments on my blogs so I am assuming that no one reads them.
Anyway
I've been killing myself at Caffè Stella for the past 3 weeks.  It's been an education thats for sure.  I'm learning how PICKY people can be with their food and even more so with their coffee.  WOW.  AND of course, we've had our share of crazies.  My personal favorite we have nicknamed "28 seconds".  This particular character earned his name after trying to school me on how to make an espresso the RIGHT way.  Well this was probably our first or second day...I had only the minimal training from the previous owner and thought I was doing it the right way, so how would I know that you have to pull the espresso last after you've prepared everything else that goes into a drink.  He also informed me that after 28 seconds (hence the name) the coffee starts to go bitter.
WELL...I got some training and inquired about the 28 second thing and the trainer told me you shouldn't run the water through the grounds longer than 28 seconds or it takes away from it and makes the coffee bitter.  SO yeah "28 Seconds" was kinda right but still...he's kinda full of himself and he's a mixed European...with a pot belly. We think its funny he walks around like he's the grand pooh-bah of Caffè Stella! lol
We also have our nice, normal regulars which we love!
We've learned that there are definitely some weirdos that frequent coffee shops now.  Maybe its because they are hopped up on the caffeine.  Who knows?  haha
Just in case you haven't seen our page on Facebook yet (http://www.facebook.com/caffestella), here are some of our absolutely divine goodies we bake in house. Drool to your hearts content

Turtle Cheesecake 

Lemon cake with Lemon Buttercream icing

Orange Dreamsicle Cupcakes

 Red Velvet Cupcakes

Raspberry Limeade Cake

What's that?  Is that drool all over your keyboard I see?  HAHA!  Yep they look pretty scrumptious huh?  I decorate the cakes and make the cupcakes too (or most of them I have....I do the Red Velvet ones for sure! lol)

I officially have no life now and I live to serve coffee and desserts!  If you live in the Atlanta area, definitely come and check out the cafe!

I'm going to try to blog more lately since I have a computer readily available (its just coordinating my thoughts with the available time I have between customers!)

*waves goodbye and sings "oh my starry eyed surprise, sundown to sunrise..." lol

Later taters!
