Super Roll Cake Man brings in the customers... David says it's almost like prostitution XD.

This is my new shop mascot, Super Roll Cake man. His super powers involve being super cute, being able to trick and lure attract customers with his super cuteness, and being super cute. He’s also a transformer; his chocolate pipe can stand up and then he turns into Super Roll Cake house with a choc pipe chimney.

However, he can’t seem to make me stop worrying :( . Recently i’ve been a little restless. I’ve been reluctant to update my website because I really want to change the name of my website and business. This might sound silly, but i’m really scared people will come up to me and ask me what ‘Hikaria’ is and what it has to do with my items, and the answer to that is ‘nothing, it’s the name of my old website back in my teenage anime domain collective website days’. Meanwhile, I really want to change it to ‘One Dessert, Please!’ based off a stupid joke involving Futurama and my favourite character Zoidberg, but there are so many issues with doing that:

  • Lots of people link to hikaria.com and refer to me as such.
  • Some people even use the link button that isn’t as easy to change.
  • I have to change my business cards
  • I have to change my website domain name, which means I have to buy another domain, and then I have to pay for the WordPress upgrade to edit my css there too.
  • I’m part of a few communities that already know me as Hikaria
  • Need to change Twitter, Facebook and Etsy.
  • All in all, i’m pretty firmly entrenched in the world wide web and in real life as ‘Hikaria’.

So everyone, pleease talk me out of my irrational fear of people caring about what I call my website as. It’s really too late to change the name, there are too many issues and yet I still want to :( .

Anyway, apart from my weird phobia over something no one has ever even done to me, i’ve got market photos! I know i’ve already posted these on Facebook but still, they’re awesome pictures and worth seeing more of :P .

Hey everyone, just a quick note to tell you guys that i’ll be selling at the University of Queensland markets tomorrow. The market runs from 8am to 3pm, and is situated in the Union complex of the university at the St Lucia complex. Here is a link to a map of the campus. The area is roughly around J6 at the end of Campbell Rd, where the number 13 is. It’s next to the main university SS&H library.

To get to UQ catch the 109 bus on the corner of George and Adelaide St near Brisbane square to “UQ Lakes”. It’s the last stop, and you’ll be dropped off at the UQ lakes very close to the Union Complex.

For those of you who can’t make it i’ll be posting photos and feeling the spirit of all of you around me :) . See you all next week!
