Apply a Fowl To IT! (late night thoughts of a baker's mind)






First of all, Bakery News: Had a great day delivering goodies to kindly souls yesterday! I delivered 3 pies, and 2 dozen cinnamon rolls, and I can't tell you the kind remarks I received, how much they are appreciated, as well as how much I appreciate the business! If my appreciation could be expressed in a pie chart, the color bright orange symbolizing my appreciation, well that pie chart would look like a giant orange. 

Thanks to all of you, who are assisting me in realizing, what I had thought.. no more than a pipe dream at best! It brings into a more realistic light, that I may one day have that little hole in the wall bakery, where you can pick up a yummy locally roasted drip coffee, a cinnamon roll or piece o pie, and hang out with your friends or family, collecting warm fuzzies for your head movies!

2ndly, I'll be working on some cakes to add to the menu. I do not do decorative cakes, but I make a mean apple spice cake, that if paired with a nice dark roasted coffee... makes your mouth jump for joy, well, at least my mouth jump for joy! I'll also be adding a carrot cake, for your nomming pleasure!


For any of you Portlandia fans out there.. I had an epiphany of a recipe per say.. the other night. If you remember the episode in Women and Women first, when they are discussing the breakfast scones as tasting like sand, and of course the infamous Put a Bird on It?

I want to make some kind of tan colored scone, lets say a butterscotch scone.. with raw sugar on top (the sand) then I would like to take a bird stencil, and use spray paint icing,  and spray paint a bird on said sandy colored scone.. there by creating the Portland Scone (Apply a Fowl to It). I wonder how much copy right infringement issues I'd come across. 

Thanks again to everyone, if you're reading this, thank you for taking the time out of your day to do so!

Bilan
