Muffin-centric

This idea has been copyrighted, trademarked and all rights preserved - so don't get any ideas.

About two months ago, Julie and I (Tarah) came up with the best idea for a new business, probably ever. It sprung from a conversation* about scones that evolved to the topic of muffins in general, the tops in specific. It may sound like the Seinfeld episode, but we've thought it through and will be smarter, better.

We don't want to discard the tops and be wasteful. Nor would we want to back them without the cup from which the tops may rise. No disc-muffins for us. But here's The Quandary: What to do with the inferior baked good that is the muffing bottom? Here is a menu of sorts that resulted from our conversation:

Primary item sold: Muffin Tops of varying flavors.

Other items:
Muffin Croutons (for things like porridge, oatmeal - could go well on salads)
Muffin Pudding (using muffin combinations such as blueberry and lemon poppy or pumpkin spice and cranberry nut)

Beverages:
Coffee
Espresso Drinks (including year round gingerbread lattes)
Champagne drinks
Thai Iced Coffee
Thai Iced Tea

We won't expand our products too much, a la Dunkin' Donuts, at the expense of our quality. To say the least, this place will rock.

julie: ps starbucks has raspberry scones now

WOW

me: really

interesting

I used to really not like scones

julie: i got one this morning

me: way too dry

julie: its not like a real scone

its not dry at all

me: but I think i was eating crappy ones

julie: its more like a squashed muffin

me: because I've had some really good ones lately

lol mmmm I do like muffins

I've been thinking about a muffin that I had a year ago lately

julie: uh

me: I got it at this coffee shop in the north end - it was like, whole wheat nut cranberry. and just the top

julie: yea muffin tops are the best the stumps suck

me: it's true

I wonder what they do with the stumps... and if it's at all like the seinfeld episode

julie: EXACTLY

i wonder though if you could make it without it

me: I was thinking about that too

julie: or maybe you could use it to make something else?

me: or if you needed the cup to make it rise so it's top like, not disk like

julie: right

ok so lets think of ways to use the stumps

me: muffin pudding? they make bread pudding

julie: and this may turn into a blog post for today

hmm

true

me: lol

julie: it could be all different flavors

like blueberry muffin pudding

me: or you could combine two muffins for ultimate pudding fusion

like blueberry and lemon poppy

julie: oooooo

yeaaa

i think we're on to something

me: oatmeal croutons

julie: oooooo

me: (croutons for oatmeal, that is)

julie: right

lol

me: we should obviously open a bakery

julie: obviously

me: muffin centric

and not expand to other bakery products and lose the quality like apparently dunks did

julie: yea they did

me: for drinks, various coffee products and champagne-breakfast drinks

hear me out

gingerbread lattes

all

year

round

~*~*~*~*~*~ (those are gchat jazz hands)

julie: i think we need to serve Thai iced coffees and teas

me: I concur

julie: awesome i am making this into a sweet blog spot**

**Said blogspot was never posted because dear Julie, is a busy girl. I'm sure hers would have been far better than this, but I did what I could. And remember. The idea is copyrighted - so no stealing!
