    Uh, new business? Why is this the first I'm hearing of this? You gonna have mail order with this baking business?

    Well I'm just in the exploration phase. I got hired to do cupcakes for a couple of events. We'll see how it goes. But I'm going to need to perfect some recipes.

    Where do I sign up to be the taste testing guinea pig?

    I need taste testing guinea pigs. Totally srs. The people in my life are all either a.) dieting, b.) think sugar is poison, or c.) don't like sweets. It's depressing really.

    I will literally pay for the shipping charges. Dead srs.

    Anyone that knows me know I'm not opposed to spending money on food, more than the normal person. Pffff, I spent 30 on cupcakes this Saturday and have had pizza from Chicago shipped to me.

    Come at me Amber. I promise to share with Dora. Semi srs.

    I might take you up on that. :laugh: :flowerforyou:

    Went with my sister for lunch at a little cafe that has an awesome bakery. We split a coconut macaroon cookie, and a brownie salted caramel cookie (left). That was amazing. The cookies had the texture of brownies, but with a salted caramel frosting in between them.

    Um, why are these people in your life? That sounds like the saddest group of friends ever.

    I tell my friend who doesn't like sweets that it makes her a bad person all the time.








    I may not be a very good friend. :embarassed:

    Did you lick that bowl after you took the picture? Not saying I would have, but of course I would!
    Pick the bowl no. The bowl was shaped weird. I did use my finger to clean up the crumbs the proceed to suck on my finger for 5 minutes.

    That works! :bigsmile:

    Yesterday I made cinnamon pull-apart bread:

    I'm a little disappointed in it to be honest. It's good, don't get me wrong, but it's lacking . . . oomph. I think I would rather have just had cinnamon rolls. But it's very pretty, don't you think?

    Hey now!!! Lol.

    I've never heard of pull apart bread.

    It's kind of like cinnamon rolls except after you roll the dough out flat and brush it with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar you cut it into small squares, stack them all up and layer them sideways in the loaf pan. It creates a loaf of bread that you can peel layers off of to eat.

    Do you ever make monkey bread? I think what makes that different than what you showed here is the brown sugar/butter sauce that you pour over it before you bake it. It's also the best part of the monkey bread, just like the best part of cinnamon rolls is the icing...

    I haven't made monkey bread but I do like it.

    This needed something like that. Either a glaze or icing or something.

    A girl at work had her gender determining ultrasound yesterday - pink cupcakes for everyone! Ironically, this looks almost exactly like the one I posted yesterday, "You can't be sad if you are holding a cupcake".

    Can you tell I had been swiping the icing with my finger and licking it off while the pregnant momma was regaling us with her story about the ultrasound and the reaction from her family and what names they were considering and blah blah blah... "I JUST WANT TO EAT THIS CUPCAKE AT MY DESK STOP TALKING!!!" (internal monologue)
