It's been a little over a week since the opening of Mignon Kitchen Co., and I owe a huge thank you to everyone who visited, blogged about, and placed an order from the shop! I'm so flattered by the response.
A lot of people have asked me who designed the site and what service I'm using. I designed the layouts myself, and then customized one of Shopify's templates to fit my design. The amount of customization I did required heavy HTML + CSS editing, but Shopify has lots of other nice templates that don't require touching the code.
And...hey! There are a few new goodies freshly stocked in the shop: organic vanilla extract, apple caramel preserves, meyer lemon curd, and la-dee-dahs, which are shown above. La-dee-dahs are these amazing handmade candies made of sea salt caramel, nougat, and dark chocolate. They're pure happiness.
Yum! This looks amazing.

You did such an amazing job! Congratulations! (I realize I'm a little bit late, sorry!) And I love the baking tips! So great. I didn't realize that you should apply a thin layer to seal in the crumbs than chill! Awesome!

Thanks for sharing your site service with us! I thought I must have struck a bad chord when I asked on your launch post and my question/comment never appeared, but perhaps that was just the result of a glitch.
Anyway, so happy to hear Mignon Kitchen Co is getting such positive feedback!

At first I thought they were unbaked caramel-chocolate cinnamon rolls, but la-dee-dahs sound just as delightful! =)
