What a weekend





I’d agreed to bake a cake for Taylor and her brother Jakob’s birthday party on Sunday. These years the kids like to decorate their own cakes and have definite ideas on what they want. So on Sat. I baked 2 round cakes, one for Taylor and one for Jakob and put a basic icing on. Taylor would decorate her own cake and Sunny decided to decorate Jakob’s.

On Sunday Nate and Bekki were coming for dinner so I thought that I’d better get some cookies and bars ready for them to taste test. I wanted to bake several variations on the cookie that I’d developed the other day and send out samples for taste testing so this would work out well.

Before I started baking on Sunday I remembered my grandmother’s chocolate chip cookie recipe and thought that I’d do a cookie based on her recipe. I then baked the one like I developed the other day and 3 variations on it. As I was baking the cookies the girls started decorating their cakes so I’d run between the kitchen with the cookies and the dining room with the girls and their cakes. We did finish up the cakes which were so great and lots of cookies.

On Monday I divided the cookies between the willing guinea pigs and mailed some out to of town people. We delivered the cookies to those close to us, even got a dinner out of Tom and Aletha as we there close to dinner time. Great jerk chicken.

Now I will need to sit down at the Health Department and ask the questions. There is a ton of work to do to get these to market.
