Thanks to all who commented or emailed me about my cupcake thread. The response blew me away. I will get back to you. It may take awhile, as I have a full time job that I'm passionate about, but I always do get back.
The cupcake thread got me thinking. How can I build on Vermont Shortbread Company's platform, use my bakery for cupcaking, yet be involved in operations, distribution and management at a very high level? There's got to be a way to use Vermont Shortbread Company as a springboard for a cupcake project that benefits me and other bakers. I am grateful to all for launching these cupcake thoughts which now find their way into my dreams at night.
An amorphous idea is beginning to take shape. I'll be back with cupcakes and bells.
Your friend,
The Shortbread Cupcaker

Good luck with your cupcake/shortbread brainstorming. I'm just glad my girlfriend didn't see you request for a cupcake maker. She's an avid cupcake baker. Our house is littered with cupcake books and recipes.
But she needs to finish grad school first :) Then we can get into the cupcake business.
Good Luck, and great blog.
Corey

The Shortbread Cupcaker? . . . sounds kind of like a personality conflict ;)
Cupcakes sound awesome. Hope everything is going well.

"Cupcaking..." this is that newfangled trend of turning a noun into a verb, that I still have not gotten comfortable with. About a month ago my client told me she has "guested" on numerous talk shows. I think I may have to pontificate on this.
