BUNNIE CAKES, MIAMI’S FIRST VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE AND KOSHER BAKERY, TO OPEN
SECOND LOCATION IN AVENTURA MALL ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 1
MIAMI, FL (July 7, 2015) – Bunnie Cakes, Miami’s first-ever vegan, gluten-free and kosher bakery, is bringing its famously delicious sweet treats to an entirely new audience: shoppers at the Aventura Mall. The popular brand’s second location is set to open in the retail paradise on Saturday, August 1, 2015.
From Cupcake Wars to the city’s “Best Of” awards, Bunnie Cakes bakery has earned an outstanding reputation since its Wynwood location opened more than two years ago. Now, owner Mariana Cortez is taking the first step towards expanding the beloved brand.
“We love Aventura,” says Cortez. “Bunnie Cakes has a lot of customers there who’ve been asking us to open a store. We’d been looking for a long time and were thrilled when the perfect spot became available. We’re so excited!” On opening day, guests to the Aventura location can expect balloons, friendly greetings and a free
cupcake with every purchase from 2 to 6 p.m.
Like the Wynwood store, the Aventura spot’s décor will feature an array of hearts, vibrant colors and warm, welcoming décor—hand-picked by Cortez—in keeping with the Bunnie Cakes motto: “Our heart with every cupcake.”
The new store will stock large and mini cupcakes, donuts, whoopee pies, cookies, brownies, small cakes and cakes in a jar, plus beverages including coffee, tea, water and natural sodas. With tables and chairs for customers, it’s the perfect spot for shoppers in need of a sweet treat. The new location is also directly across from Aventura Mall’s Friends With You playground, providing easy access for families.
Family is a subject near and dear to Cortez’s heart. Bunnie Cakes was created when the then-mother-of-three (now, four) couldn’t find a vegan cake for her son Luke’s birthday. She started whipping up delicious, allergy-friendly treats at home, and Bunnie Cakes was born.
Make no mistake, however, Bunnie Cakes are not only for those with dietary restrictions. Florian Bellanger, celebrity pastry chef and Cupcake Wars judge, called Cortez’s creations, “the best and most elegant cupcakes we have seen on the show.”
Bunnie Cakes are currently sold at the first storefront location in Midtown, as well as Green Gables Cafe, Juice and Java, Panther Coffee, Temple Kitchen, Apple A Day, Guarapo Juice Bar, the Honey Tree, Milam’s Markets in Coral Gables and Coconut Grove, and Vegetarian Restaurant by Hakim.
Bunnie Cakes’ new store is in the Aventura Mall, 19501 Biscayne Boulevard, Aventura, FL, 33180. It’s
located across from the Friends With You playground. Opening day is Saturday, August 1 at 10 a.m.
Hours: Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. – 9:30 p.m. and Sunday 12- 8 p.m.
Phone: (786) 268-9790

Inside the Office: What’s Working & What’s Not?

0

When your body fails to cooperate, the world seems much smaller, doesn’t it? I’ve been wracked with bronchitis for more than a week and it’s frustrating to find myself restricted to bed and home.
A friend advised me to consider what “signals” my illness is sending me about life in general. I confess never to thinking that way before. For an ironic change, I could honestly report I had not been overworking, had been exercising and walking, eating right, all the supposedly correct in-balance things. Even took Mother’s Day weekend off to go to the beach with my dear daughter. Nonetheless, I still caught something pretty strong.
In this spirit, here’s my question to ask yourself:  What “signals” are you getting about how you are interacting with the important people in your work world?  Would you say that most of your conversations are rewarding and productive? Or, do you find you’re dealing with constant “turf wars,” missed deadlines, complaints, lack of motivation, and underperforming co-workers?
Stress in the workplace is certainly not new, but it’s unquestionably showing up at higher and higher rates. Why? Part of the reason includes the failure of our economy to charge ahead as we’d hoped. Adding significantly to stress is the widespread introduction of new, demanding technologies. At the personal level, most folks are juggling too many priorities in too little time. On top is a dramatically changing workforce with so many experienced Boomers beginning to leave long-held positions.
To help you identify what’s causing counter-productive stress in your office, for a limited time, you can receive a free, confidential Workplace Stress Analysis.

My offer includes a private strategy session with you to go over your team’s results. This beta program ends May 30 so act now!
Meanwhile, I’ve made a pot of chicken soup and expect to get better any day! Take care of yourself and your valued co-workers! I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Think Lincoln: How Long is Your Message?

0

 (President’s Day is Feb. 17 but I’m posting this early, in their honor!)
I asked a number of people recently how long they thought the Gettysburg Address actually was. Most said 10-15 minutes or they didn’t know.? Amazingly to me, the Gettysburg Address lasted just over two minutes and was only 300 words, the lengthof most blogs today.  Maybe you had to memorize and recite it in a class years ago, as I did?
President Abraham Lincoln delivered these most famous of all his remarks during the American Civil War, on Thursday, November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He is as well known for this speech as he is for helping to abolish slavery.
 
The speaker before President Lincoln on that historic day gave a two-hour address and no one remembers his name. Mr. Lincoln’s place on the agenda was considered an afterthought and look what happened!  Lincoln scholars have revealed that his speaking abilities did not develop overnight and they did not seem to come to him easily. What did he do right?
 
He knew how to capture and keep attention.
Here is what was written about another time President Lincoln spoke:
“Mr. Lincoln spoke nearly two hours and we believe he would have held his audience had he spoken all night.”  –Dover (New Hampshire) Inquirer, March 8, 1860
In fairness, there were no movies, no Super Bowl, no TV, no Internet, no digital devices to otherwise distract audiences in the 19th Century. Speakers were a popular form of entertainment. Nonetheless, I don’t believe human nature has changed that much. We are easily bored and good speakers are those people who have mastered how to select and deliver their words in a way that makes us want to listen.
