Good morning,

All is well here at The Z!!! Brittany and I spent ALL day yesterday making cinnamon rolls. We have started selling them individually at "Olivia's" during the Taylor Farmers Market on Saturday mornings! We are also selling them by the tray in the frozen section at "Olivia's" on the square. We are so excited and hope that everyone will make time to stop by and try them! They are homemade from scratch and are served with a delicius maple frosting. If you have any input or a new frosting you would like to see them served with just let me know and I would be more than happy to test it out!!

Please meet....the man of our house (and hearts).

Colonel Reb.

The Z also makes and delivers homemade cakes.....

A couple that stayed with us recently called a few days after their stay and informed me that their daughters birthday was coming up and asked if I would make her a cake and deliver it to the dorms. Her mom said she loves red velvet so that was the plan! I called her best friend and she told me the b-day girl has requested to have a barbie cake so of course, I did what I could.....a red velvet barbie cake!! I will attach a photo....I was very pleased with how it turned out-especially considering it was the first time for me to ever make a cake with a barbie in to!!

(The picture does not do her justice because it was taken with my phone but this will give you and idea!)
