Woo-hoo! The Hedgehog Factory is fully operational!
We participated in our 1st event, the home schoolers' sports day on friday! I'm so proud of Baby pig @ the littlest hedgehog @ CEO of The Hedgehog Factory!
We had a good outing. It was an eye-opener, and we gained valuable experience. Though we had a slow start, the outcome was beyond our wildest dreams. I do hope Baby remembers this season! And the learning that came with it! I, for one, will treasure all the time we spent working over the event! ^^
I have also come to realize my Baby is growing up, no longer the baby in my mind ^^. Despite never baking on his own before (only assisting sometimes), he could actually make the popcorn, brownies and choc chip cookies almost all by himself, minimum help from us. Guess, turning 13 this november does mean something. I'm not too sure if I want him growing up this fast!
Well, the loot from the bake-sale has gone into The Hedgehog Factory's coffers for Baby's college fund and his europe road trip with his kor-kor, Big. I really do hope they manage to make the trip together in 4 years time. ^^
A little side-track.. because I'm really shy and all ^^, I don't ever share/brag how very proud I am of all my piggies to my friends (I mustn't get started 'cos I wouldn't know where to stop! haha!). I can only do this here, where I'm incognito and can share some of my deepest and silliest thoughts. So here goes, Baby was placed 1st among 20 edison ttdi students in this year's poetry slam! Woo-hoo! He sure had big shoes to fill (Big was tops too a few years back!), and he worked so hard for it. And boy, was he in a class of his own! Way to go, baby! Kor-kor, Big, may be the poet, but you're the man! ^^
Well, it's been a wonderful kick-start to baby pig's entrepreneur voyage. I'm really, really happy ^^ ^^ ^^

Wow, its reall6 hard to believe he actually made all these yummy goodies by himself. The brownies looks so perfect anf so good in looking. And so does this well packed pop corn too. You must be real proud of him
We chose super duper easy recipes ^^ that he could make on his own. The brownies were the easiest and the popcorn were easy too (though a lot of work!). The cookies are staple in his home, so it wasn't too difficult for him.. i just had to tell him when to stop mixing the butter and sugars.
Of course he couldnt do everthing on his own. I had the unglamorous job of watching the oven. And his mom helped to seal the packages neatly, while he packed and worked on the labels.
For our hard work, we received hugs as pay ^^
