baking update

[y] so i know it's been forever since i've posted anything...call it lazy...call it forgetful...or just accept the fact that i'm not a frequent blogger/facebooker/online networking site user. but i do have an exciting baking update for those who are interested!

i've started making cookie bouquets! it all started when i decided to make one for my friends jade and patrick for their baby shower at work. it took a long time, but i was pretty happy with the results.





then a co-worker asked if she could pay me to make one for her daughter's baby shower. so i made another one and got paid for it! i definitely cannot make a living off of making cookie bouquets though because it's about an 8 hour labor of love (make dough one night and let it chill, cut and bake dough next night and let it cool, decorate the next night and let it dry, put into plastic sleeves and make bouquet the next morning or night) and i only got paid $75. until i can open my own bakery and become more proficient and efficient at making stuff, i shall continue my day job as a consultant!
