The review is so weirdly off-base, totally focused on the price, which seems like a strange way to use yelp, knocking down an artist because the prices are too high for her! On the plus side, your other yelpers seem to get it, leaving you lots of love.

I like a homemade cupcake, but I never think about eating a cupcake unless someone makes some, and I'm nearby. So, for me a year's supply would be one or two, maybe three at the most.Whitney Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491079459627713472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-59217046223562991822011-12-14T05:27:09.635-08:002011-12-14T05:27:09.635-08:00Rock On!!Rock On!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06084462536524346103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-55151266267473511232011-12-14T03:24:31.523-08:002011-12-14T03:24:31.523-08:00Oh yay..there hasn't been a rant for a while, ...Oh yay..there hasn't been a rant for a while, i was thinking you were getting all weird and nice !!<br />MY BEAUTIFUL BLUE CREAMER WITH ITS LITTLE YELLOW BIRD IS WORTH EVERY FUCKING PENNY...lol...have a great Christmas Whitney :)Adriana Christiansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312988162183271824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-26825797091117952772011-12-13T20:40:29.296-08:002011-12-13T20:40:29.296-08:00No discount necessary -yes your work is worth ever...No discount necessary -yes your work is worth every penny.

Do you think it counts just the cupcakes you eat or the ones you buy for parties? Does it count cupcakes that are given out at events? You don't pay for those but somebody does, maybe that gets added to your yearly total. Also, are we talking grocery store cupcakes, frosted with your kid cupcakes from a box mix or high end cupcake-only bakery cupcakes. Because those get pretty expensive themselves.<br /><br />I teach beginning pottery classes and I always like to have the art/craft/utility conversation with them. Few of them have though about why it is expected to drink out of plastic and paper, why so few of them own hand-made functional objects and why it is "normal" to register for a "china pattern" or dishes at Target but pretty rare to have hand-crafted dishes.<br /><br />Your work is beautiful. And valuable. Keep it up.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085769147864515618noreply@blogger.com
