The cookies for Friday’s party were a hit! I received some great feedback that will be incorporated into my recipes. Unfortunately, I don’t think the chocolate glaze turned out as good as I think it should have. While the taste is great, I would like it to set up a little bit better. On the other hand, the caramel sandwiches were by far the best of the bunch, receiving the comment “these are sinful!” I will definitely add this line of sandwich cookies to the menu and will be developing a couple more flavors over the next few weeks.
As it turns out, starting a bake shop is not just about cookie testing and tasting. I have spent a good part of the day setting up an office space that will function better and actually allow me to get some work done. To help spread the work about Sweet Attila’s, I am very pleased my brother has agreed to help build a Sweet Attila’s Facebook page. Thanks Paul! I will post once it is up. Today, I also arranged for my friend Jenny to take cookie pictures later this month. The plan is to have amazing photos featuring Sweet Attila’s fare when we go live with online sales in January / February next year. Jenny has also very willingly agreed to be my taste-tester for my next batch of breakfast cookies. Thanks Jen!
Most importantly today marks the very tangible 20-day countdown until we head off to Bonaire in the Dutch Antilles for an end-of-year vacation. Craig and I are going with my mom, brother and sister-in-law. We should have an amazing time and I cannot wait!
