Who Is The PolkaDot Cupcake? (Part II)

     If Suz is our heart and soul then Brandi Schlabach is our entertainment. No just kidding. She is more like our collective brain. She is the behind the scenes calendar, reminder post its, Facebook messaging and coordination whiz kid. She is that annoying voice ruining all the fun with important business propositions and T-shirt quotes. She's the one that makes the whole thing make sense. You probably have no idea what she looks like because last time you saw her she had her face buried in her phone or a computer screen.
     Brandi met Suz almost 7 years ago and made an instant connection. They share not only a unique sense of humor but an unmatched love of crafty things. Through the years they have shared and taught each other many new skills. This special relationship gives The PolkaDot Cupcake a unique balance. It is an ebb and flow of ideas whether they end up coming to life or not.
     Brandi is a full time stay at home mom to two beautiful little boys. She has a background in retail and food service. Her dream has always been to operate a small local business with close friends and family. She is a Capricorn and was born January 19th. True to form she is bullheaded and very outspoken. She is mildly obsessed with organization and that may very well be her actual calling.
     Her love of creating and newly acquired mom status ultimately lead her into the kitchen. She will tell you that by no means is she a great cook but baking has always come easy. Her grandmother has always been an inspiration. As proof of how much she has imparted her sheet cake is the only cake Brandi will eat. The lack of love for cake around here is keeping us from all gaining 100 lbs by the way! Brandi did work for the bakery at Marsh for a short time but if asked will tell you Suz taught her almost everything she now knows.
     The PolkaDot Cupcake is her home away from home. It has become a place for all of her creative drive and business knowledge. It is a place for new and old relationships. It is a place where people come together to share and create.
