What a week of baking!! It’s been crazy! I don’t think I’ve had a full nights sleep since Wednesday!!
First up was 30 extra large cookies to replenish my shelf at Bailey’s Farm Market (61 S Main St. Oberlin). Next was simultaneously working on items for the first day of the outdoor Oberlin Farmers Market and a special cake for Sunday’s celebration of Sol Rizzato,our Worship and the Arts Director, who will be moving out of state. That’s a total of 38 scones, 5 dozen cupcakes, 9 individual cakes to create the 3 tiers. Sunday evening, began the making of 9 batches of scones to deliver to Oberlin College at the Cat and The cream for a total of 120 scones mini scones. (Scones were a treat for students decorating their graduation caps!)
Tonight’s final bake was a batch of Bacon Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookies that our Granddaughter Oliviya requested for her 17th birthday last week.
Now it’s to bed for a full nights sleep and a day off !

I wanted to post this yesterday but had a hard time finding the picture! I made this cake for a House Kentucky Derby party about 20 years ago! (Can’t believe that!). The family won a gift certificate that had donated as part of an Oberlin Choristers Fundraiser.
