not so much a training post as a fundraising one...
bake sales are fun, making cookies is time consuming but enjoyable (and there are lots of beaters to lick) watching little kids eat your creations while their parents feel good about donating to a good cause is even better. However, one word of advice, frosting and direct sunlight do not go together....my cupcakes got a little on the saggy side about 35 minutes into the sale, and by the end, the frosting was kinda squishy (though the cookies were warm and soft like fresh from the oven!) the cupcakes left over got scraped and re-frosted to sell tomorrow at work. So far, I have raised about $65, so we'll see what the total is after work. I'm doing another sale on the 3rd of November when my friend Dr. Lauterbach, who owns the office where I had the sale today, is having an open house, and the gourmet pet place next door is having their one year anniversary extravaganza which they have been massively advertising and I am going to ride their tails like a flea.
here's what my sign said....
"These cookies cure cancer! (and the cupcakes aren't bad either)"
catchy, huh?

I love your slogan (probably will steal it)
Good work on the other side of the TNT program.
Reading this blog made me so hungry for cookies that I had to run to Giovanni's at 7:50 to get dessert before they closed at 8:00. I bought what looked like homemade chocolate chip cookies. Of course they weren't as good as I had hoped, and Frank complained that they were "too sweet" (And, for once, he was right. But don't tell him I said that). They did kill the craving for cookies though.
Ugghhh! Now writing this comment is making me crave cookies again! Good thing Giovanni's is closed already.
