IT and Cupcakes

Baking cupcakes is not usually associated with Information Systems: It's associated with warm, fuzzy feelings while Information systems are cold-cut and technical.  But to operate a business successfully, systems like Excel and Microsoft Office are critical to stay organized. Using formulas in excel to make a Invoice template, that can be adjusted for each Peace Treat order we recieve, is just one example of why Excel is a great resource! Additionally, by using tables with fields and records, we are able to stay on-top of our expenses and revenues so that we know exactly how much money we're able to donate to our partner charity: Little Footprints Big Steps. Peacetreats also takes advantage of google calendar, as well as doodles for easy scheduling. Last, but not least, social media is our primary way to communicate with our bakers and cupcake lovers. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter! @PeaceTreats and http://www.facebook.com/#!/peacetreats?fref=ts. Where would business be today without these systems?
