Contracts and Cupcakes

A few months ago, Michelle and I joking decided to open our own practice upon graduation from law school. Our business would be called "Contracts and Cupcakes" and you could come on down and get yourself a contract while enjoying a scrumptious cupcake and a tall glass of milk in our bakery-styled law firm. Because wouldn't that be so much more fun than getting a contract at a boring old law office where everyone is all stuffy and dull, wearing suits rather than polka-dotted aprons?

Today, we practiced our baking in a five-hour baking spectacular.

Michelle did most of the difficult tasks including working the cookie press and running the hand mixer.

I pressed the Reese's into the peanut butter cookies. You guys, I am seriously really good at those peanut butter cookies.

In the end, we decided it was all an awful lot of work. Plus, we ate about a million of the little treats. So now what we are thinking is this: Wine and Wills. You come on down and get yourself a will, we'll serve it up with a nice glass of pinot noir.

I'm so proud!!!

[Clueless Cat]

Wow. those. look. so. good!!

[connie]

beautiful job! and i think you're on to something. baked goods and vino would help de-stress your clients

[Pamela]

Those treats look lovely! I think you should start with Contracts & Cupcakes and then franchise to Wine & Wills. And then retire.

[Nicole]

Looks delicious!

[kathryn]

cute!

The cookies and milk idea would really help my industry. Although if you serve cheese with your Wine and Wills, I could buy into that venture, too.

Those PB cup cookies are my fav, although the rest look delish, too!

[JP]

Oh, and it would kind of be like that show, "Ed," with the lawyer's office in the bowling alley. Loved that show!

[Hope]

Those look amazing!

[christie]

It's definitely better than Donuts and Divorces...

[Allison]

Sign me up for Wine and Wills!

During my short career as a paralegal I realized how much people who were coming in to work on their wills hated thinking about it. They always seemed v depressed and sad, like they were going to drop dead tomorrow. No one likes to think about dying but maybe the Wine would help with that?! Worth a shot.

[kayla]

love love LOVE both ideas...but i do agree that Wine and Wills would be much less work and much more fun.

lets bake the peanut butter cookies when you come visit

[Jennifer Berthiaume]

So you're saying drunk at work, as opposed to fat, is the lesser of two evils? haha.

[Lissa]

I would come to both of those shops to get legal advice, because nothing is better then the law with a little cupcake and wine on the side.

[janet]

those look soooooooooo delicious!

And I thought for a minute you would also give away husbands in your 2nd venture.

YUMMY! I just made the Pioneer Woman's peanut butter things too and they are awesome. They disappeared so fast and I'm not exactly sure who ate them all.

If you were in Michigan I would make up an excuse to come to your law office:-) Hey just take the bar in Michigan too you know just in case.

Oh my god that looks awesome. I wish I could join you especially if you are topping it all off with a glass of delicious wine. Quite impressive ladies.

[Word Perv]

Oh so lovely!!! Betty Crocker has nothing on you!!

[Chris Cactus]

Wow, I want a cupcake right now.

[Zandria]

That's quite a time commitment on baking the goodies (although they look quite scrumptious!). Good for you two!

(I don't blame you for changing the name for your future law practice!)
