Mad for Mad Men

Ok.... so I may be one of a handful of people that love the TV Series Mad Men, and as Joy from The View would say, "So what,who cares!". Mad Men rock! I have been waiting for-ev-er for this show to return. It is filled with ambition seeking New Yorkers, backstabbing junior executives, manipulating relationships, frustrated housewives, passionate love affairs, 60's fashion, chain smoking and afternoon drinking in the office. It reminds me of a reality show, except there is no hair pulling, bar fighting or scenes that lead to embarrassing fits of drunkenness. They drank and smoke and privately went about their lives keeping secrets and giving us all a glimpse of the men and women from a Madison Ave Advertising agency ruthlessly create some of the biggest brands on the market today.

The premiere of Season 5 starts March 25th on AMC and I have re-watched Seasons 1-4 to recap what went on and prepared myself for whats to come this season..... Seriously, the show was gone from the airwaves for almost 2 years! I was so excited and because I have had this show on the brain for the last 3 months when they announced its return, and had some extra cookie dough, I decided to make these cookies for my viewing pleasure on Sunday. I know what you are thinking.... and as I said before "So what, who cares!". If you havent been watching, you should take a break from reality TV and catch up with Don Draper and the gang.

Black Enterprise Magazine cover Cookies

I had the great opportunity to meet with a local business owner named Dawn Fitch. She is the President and co-owner with her sisters of Pooka Pure & Simple, a company which sells a natural line of skincare and hair products. She is featured in March issue Black Enterprise magazine and she also made the cover.The article provided plenty of useful information on taking your business to the next level through social media. In honor of her accomplishment, Bittersweet Cake Design fashioned a custom cookie with the magazine cover on them! Dawn was really surprised and excited about her edible magazine cookies. She said she could not wait to take a bite of her leg! We also made some cookies with the company logo on them as well. When I arrived at the shop during the magazine toast celebration, it was all abuzz with fans and customers lined up to get their magazine signed by Dawn. The atmosphere was filled with love and pride for Dawn and Pooka Pure & Simple. The products are amazing and I can not wait to try them all.

Congratulations to you Dawn, your staff and family. We wish all the best of luck with Pooka and are so proud of you! You a truly an inspiration to women entrepreneurs. Keep up the great work!
