T2B2

I found this cookie cutter set on Amazon, and I'm thinking we should buy something like this for our bake sales: http://www.amazon.ca/Wilton-Mini-Cookie-Cutter-set/dp/B000W4SM4K/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1416891074&sr=8-5&keywords=cookie+cutters+christmas

Only problem with that is, they're too small to sell as individual cookies for $1, and then if we sell 2 for $1, then the cost will be higher, and agh... this confuses me. I think it might just be easier to buy a bunch of cupcakes/cookies for cheap and resell them, because then our numbers are consistent and we won't have random amounts of ingredients left over.

I really like the idea of decorating our own cookies, though...

I think a good recipe for success (recipe--get it? :P Okay, moving on.) is to make our own sugar cookies, because they're easy, call for less ingredients, fast, tasty, and we can decorate them to look like whatever we want. Christmas cookies, emoji cookies. Movie cookies, book cookies. Modern cookies, old cookies. The possibilities are endless! It's also really easy to make royal icing--Icing Sugar + Egg whites = royal icing. Plus, royal icing can be made to look like any colour (because it's almost pure white). Anyway, there's also baking mixes pre made if we want to use that, which also makes things easier.

I think we'll buy cupcakes, because they're a lot harder to make, but they taste so yummy and they're really popular. There's this one brand I really like for baked goods, two bite, and they make mini versions of everything. They. Are. So. Good. Also, they're really pretty, so I think we'll sell some of those as well. (I think they'll be pretty popular.)

So excited to start selling and baking! :D
