Our Goodie Baskets!

I had baked, arranged, and delivered two of the goodie baskets we've had orders on for the Building Bridges Benefit! I am very happy with the way they turned out, but during baking and shipping I decided to no longer offer baskets long distance and that is only because shipping is $30.00 I sell the baskets for $30.00 so I will still offer individual sweets to people who do not live in town but I am only offering the baskets to locals. I have one more basket order to bake and arrange along with an office order of goodies to include a loaf of chocolate raspberry bread, 1 dozen oreo truffles, 1 dozen mint truffles, and 1 dozen brownies. Also 5 other individual orders! So far Country Mom Chef has raised just under $300.00 for this benefit! I am very excited! I love giving forward to helping others out! Here are the two baskets that were delivered this week.




Here is a peek at the oreo and mint truffles that were made for the baskets:


I will be sure to take more pictures as I complete these orders tomorrow so everyone can see individual items! I did have to change the contents of the baskets a little. I tried three different batches of white chocolate brownies and they just were not turning out the way I would like them to and I only give my customers the best so I had to change them to a milk chocolate with white chocolate chunks! Cant go wrong with those combinations and I know they were liked. I was disappointed that the original brownies did not turn out as planned but we always run into little issues sometimes we just need to step back collect ourselves and change the plan a little bit. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the warm weather we have been having, even if it did rain here a little bit I will take the 60's with a little rain any day over 30's & 40's and snowy weather. Thank goodness it's almost spring! I mentioned in my last post that I will be putting up a menu for my locals to order from for Easter I will be doing that tonight I want orders to be in in time for people to have the chance to get something!
