Reflections

As we chew on our Christmas toys and savor the extra holiday treats we take a few moments to reflect on 2010 for Rosita's Ruff Cakes. Our company is fairly young in an 'official' sense. In February we launched on Rosita's 5th birthday and started attending shows and events to get our name out there.

There have been a few road blocks: hosting our grand opening, a typo in some of our materials. But there have also been some great strides: graduating from First Step Fast Trac, presenting at the Chamber Expo, media coverage and winning the TK Business Magazine Evolve contest. This holiday season there were several orders and sales made, lots of birthday cakes delivered and a few new recipes tested.

Along the way we've made new friends, developed business relationships and hopefully helped a few pups out along the way. Our favorite is sharing extra treats with the Helping Hands Humane Society guests.

Lately we've been spending a lot of time at the grooming shop learning some techniques and testing our abilities. It is amazing the various dogs, cuts and styles that goes with each. Talk about an art form!

Mom also has some exciting things in the works we aren't allowed to share. Thank you for your support this year and we appreciate you trying Rosita's Ruff  Cakes and helping us to start our business. As we look toward the new year we see possibilities and know that Topeka is the place to grow and support our doggie business.

Now, back to those leftover Christmas cookies :)
