I teach Foods and Nutrition and have perfected some recipes for baked goods during a school bake sale. I need money for the summer since I'm taking classes all day and haven't had any luck finding a job....so, I don't know if anyone would be interested in this on a small scale but I figure I'd offer my talents and see what happens.

I can make some WONDERFUL and DELICIOUS
Pecan pies
Chocolate meringue pies
Red velvet cake
Pineapple 7-up cake
Best Chocolate Cake Ever(Grandmother's Recipe)
Hershey Bar Cake
Neiman Marcus Bars
Key Lime Pie
Philidelphia Cream Cheese Marbled brownies
Various cookies(snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, etc.)

Most of the items are made from scratch but some use a box of cake mix for a starter. Also, I just listed the stuff I have made extensively. If there is something you want me to try, let me know what it is and we will see. I hand pipe the cupcake decorations, by the way.

As for prices, I know pretty much what each costs to make so PM for a price.

5/29/2007 10:26:55 PM

or you can just list them here and save the trouble of answering various pm's

and also let everyone know what the prices are

5/29/2007 11:36:08 PM

I'll second the notion that it would help if you listed prices.

5/30/2007 8:53:35 AM

I've been out of town! I will list prices but I want to remind everyone that my treats are made from scratch and comparing the price to what you spent at the grocery store last week will mean nothing to me because my stuff doesn't taste like plastic.

Pecan pies - $8 (pecans are expensive!)
Chocolate meringue pies - $7
Red velvet cake - $15 (these cost $12 to make)
Pineapple 7-up cake - $10
Best Chocolate Cake Ever(Grandmother's Recipe) - $8
Hershey Bar Cake - $15 (Uses 6 Hershey bars...another expensive one to make)
Neiman Marcus Bars - $6 for a dozen post-it note sized.
Key Lime Pie - $7
Philidelphia Cream Cheese Marbled brownies - $6 for a dozen post-it note sized.
Various cookies(snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, etc.) DEPENDS!

And just a reminder...I will work with you if you want something like a birthday cake or cupcakes with decorator tip icing...but I am not a cake decorator and I'm not a magician but I will try my best to get what you need.

6/3/2007 11:41:54 AM

wow will you marry me please

6/3/2007 8:29:33 PM

the cream cheese brownies sound intriguing

6/3/2007 8:42:40 PM

how much for some chocolate chip cookies?

6/3/2007 9:36:16 PM

^^^haha

^^They are really yummy and interestingly enough, they are "pretty"....brownies usually look like square turds...heh

^Depends on how many you order... It's hard to JUST make a dozen cookies because one batch is like...3-4 dozen cookies....and I don't need 30 chocolate chip cookies!
How many were you thinking??

6/4/2007 12:24:30 AM

Hey Cassie...lets open a bakery

6/4/2007 1:18:47 AM

^Yes, lets

6/4/2007 11:47:44 AM

Just an example of what I can do with icing tips:

I made this for nolefaniam's little girl, Jenna, to celebrate her 2nd birthday Message him for a reference if you need.

6/18/2007 5:37:26 PM

god it would probably be cool to date you

6/18/2007 5:38:31 PM

id turn into a fatty

6/19/2007 10:14:47 AM

I do bake for my boyfriend some but we are both on diets so not very often. I made banana nut bread last week and it was amazing.

6/19/2007 9:22:10 PM

you could probably sell themed cakes like that for $30+

6/19/2007 10:02:25 PM

I work with the person and see what they offer and what they want done and we can go from there. I promise my cakes are as yummy as the homemade icing an just as pretty as I can make them.

The only thing I struggle with is getting the basecoat to be completely flat and smooth but most of the time that isn't even an issue because it's covered with other icing.

Hardly any of my baked goods come from cake mix boxes, sweets.

regardless, i'm not trying to insult you...

you are providing a service that a lot of people are too lazy to do... but it's not rocket science like this guy was implying.



hope you sell lots of pie.

I understand that but to some boys, cooking hot dogs is AMAZING.

BUT, just so everyone knows, the only items that use a boxed cake mix as a starter are starred below:
Pecan pies
Chocolate meringue pies
Red velvet cake
*Pineapple 7-up cake
Best Chocolate Cake Ever(Grandmother's Recipe)
Hershey Bar Cake
*Neiman Marcus Bars
Key Lime Pie
Philidelphia Cream Cheese Marbled brownies
Various cookies(snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, etc.)

Buy my cakes!

[Edited on June 20, 2007 at 12:12 AM. Reason : prices negotiable.]

6/20/2007 12:11:36 AM

^ i really dont think you should even negotiate prices. if anything, you should make flyers, and post on craigslist, too and i'm sure you'd have a LOT of people wanting to buy your bakes goods. if you live in/near a complex, you should put flyers on the cork board by the mailboxes. just an idea. baking costs money and is time consuming, and a mess, and your prices are reasonable.

6/20/2007 1:47:56 AM

6/20/2007 6:01:35 AM

Not familar with that...the only type of Kentucky Derby pie I know of is the ones the horsies leave on the track...

^^^Thank you for the encouragement.

PM if interested.

6/20/2007 11:32:25 AM

^^Thank you! I've never had this kind of pie...is it any good?
^Aww thanks so much! I am doing this on the side since I can't get a summer job



CAKES AND COOKIES MAKE YOU SMILE

6/20/2007 7:05:57 PM

We should talk, Cassie

6/20/2007 8:03:37 PM

I hate to be a douche...as nice as that cake looks for a homemade cake...the frosting to cake ratio looks ridiculous. that design, would make much more sense with fondant.

6/20/2007 8:06:15 PM

you know what youre doing is illegal


you're not paying taxes on selling this stuff

now, I dont want to turn you in, but my moral compass tells me I should...... but, we could work something out. Maybe you make me some chocolate chip cookies and we'll forget all about this

6/20/2007 8:20:07 PM

^nice try

6/20/2007 8:35:30 PM

And if I knew how to work with fondant confidently, I might would try it....but not for a baby birthday cake..

Icing is much more fun for 2 year olds to stick their hands in.

And fondant is lame anyhow..tastes like crap and it's mostly made with cookie cutters...boring imo.

IANNNNNNN Where do you work now? Let's open a bakery

Heh, just a batch of cookies to save me a jail sentence? We'll see!

6/20/2007 8:57:23 PM

PM sent

6/20/2007 10:08:11 PM

Wow, there are a lot of assholes in this thread.

Damn, if I lived in the US, I would have ordered one item of each from that list you posted BY NOW

BTW, what are these:

Red velvet cake (ok i looked it up, but aside from the red food coloring, what's unique to it?)
Neiman Marcus bars (i thought Neiman Marcus was a retailer of luxury items?)
Pineapple 7-up cake (is there 7-up in it? i have heard of pineapple upside down cake, but not this)

Thanks, and good luck!

P.S. You look like Kristin Bell, and Kristin Bell is hot

i bake and give away my shit for free because i like to do it, i just dont like to eat it. Just become friends with me and youll get it. lol

good luck on your selling. Id try craigslist or posting flyers somewhere or something too as someone said above.

It originally got its red color from a chemical reaction between early forms of processed cocoa, and baking soda. But now, red dye, or sometimes beets are used to color it since the type o cocoa used way back when gives it kind of a soapy taste.

Rolled fondant is great to work with if you're more concerned about the appearence of the cake...like in wedding cakes, of which, ive done several. For a kids cake though, nothing beats a good buttercream

I need the following

3 dozen of a mixture of cookies. (is this going to make the price high? if so just one type)
some of those brownies
a nice birthday cake. yellow with chocolate topping...maybe a few decorations.

I would like to pick these up on Saturday at like noon.

Possible? PM me with price.

6/21/2007 6:05:20 PM

^PM sent...I'm going out of town this weekend...well, tomorrow actually, so if you let me know something tonight, I maybe be able to help you out...but I haven't been able to get in touch with you yet

First of all, thank you for the well wishes! Umm
Red Velvet cake is a moist red cake with a very sweet cream cheese and nut icing. The icing is very thick. The cake itself is good when it is served room temperature or when cold. It is a sweet, sweet cake! And pretty much what was said above..

Neiman Marcus Bars are an internet hoax recipe....some forward was going around saying that a lady was charged $100 for the recipe, which is not true, but they are worth $100 to me...they are tres yummy. They too have cream cheese on top with nuts (or without...they are good either way) and the base is buttery cake with chocolate. MY FAVORITE bar "cookie".

Pineapple 7-Up cake is made with 7-Up but instead of the icing like pineapple upside down cake, it has a crushed pineapple and coconut filling and the top is covered with the same filling and it drips down the sides of this three layer monster

I wish I had pictures....hmm, maybe soon.

I'll bet you'd make a killing in the brickyard during fall/spring semesters.

6/22/2007 9:25:17 AM
