YES! We still exist! Well - kind of. And I’ll get into that in a moment. First matter of business is to wish you all a prosperous upcoming new year. May 2019 exceed your expectations as you squash your resolutions! And if you don’t meet some of those resolutions; eh - we’re aren’t perfect and don’t focus on that; look at what you are doing! Second matter of business - what the hell happened to The Shameless Bakery?!? Remember how at the end of 2017 I posted about a pretty hor

This past weekend BadWolf Brewing Company closed its doors to their larger brewery location on Kao Circle. The news had broke a couple of weeks prior to this that this was going to happen. When the news broke I felt somewhat cradled by the fact that their original location on Center Street in Manassas was remaining open. It was the pillow to lay my head upon in comfort of the impending closure. I realized the first night that the news came through just how much I had fallen i

**A Message From The Author** I feel absolutely saddened that I must write this disclaimer before posting something this humorous. But the unfortunate matter is there are people out there eating Tide Pods (hold up - really folks? Really??), so I can’t be left to chance without starting this satirical piece of work on owning a small business without the disclaimer of: “This blog was written in all good fun folks. It was meant to be humorous and in no way should reflect how w

We’re going to be straight with you folks; we have to try for this and any other “best of...” out there because we feel like we are among the best out there. Well, here. Here being Virginia. :: pause :: ok... here being northern Virginia. :: pause :: ok... Manassas? WAIT! Hold up! Wow - deja vu? Yes, we just posted a similar blog in reference to Virginia Living Magazine’s Best of 2018. So in case you skipped that one; let us continue but this time in reference to Northern Vi

We’re going to be straight with you folks; we have to try for this and any other “best of...” out there because we feel like we are among the best out there. Well, here. Here being Virginia. :: pause :: ok... here being northern Virginia. :: pause :: ok... Manassas? We know these surveys can be daunting and the last thing you may want to do is a survey when you could be getting down to Taylor Swift’s next sick beats. But please shake it off.

To the year 2017 - “So long, and thanks for all the fish”. Before we close the door on this year however I feel it is very important to say the following: THANK YOU!

We are so excited to be moving forward one step at a time and continuing to build this business. I (very personally) am humbled by all the support

Recently I had the pleasure of participating in old town Manassas’s first Jolly Ol’ Confections event. During the event I had the even greater pleasure of speaking with so many people who were trying The Shameless Bakery’s Impossible cupcake samples. And within all those people trying the samples, I heard from quite a few repeat customers who had either purchased from us or were given some of our baked goods as a gift in the past. And from those people I heard the same inquir

In review of the AmazonFresh program and their current updates; The Shameless Bakery has withdrawn its participation with Amazon at this time. Amazon is working hard to update their sales regions and how they can better serve customers within the northern Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware areas at this time. Unfortunately, with the growth and direction that The Shameless Bakery is headed into we are unable to participate with the local AmazonFresh market at thi

The color red can be a seductive color. A color of passion. Red lipstick on someone’s lips or a red dress hugging someone’s curves or even just a red tie against a black button up shirt and most people are drawn into a world of intrigue. Then there is the other side of red - as in my finances are in the red or I am seeing red from anger. And who can forget the old “Do you own a red car?
