Week Eight

I am so far behind I may never catch up, and @#$%^&* Blogger just ate my text for this stinkin' post! I am shouting very naughty words at the top of my voice, which is not very loud because I'm recovering from a cold. There is no justice. Also, ouch.


Week Eight was a very long time ago. I over baked most egregiously, apparently afraid I'd run out of stuff (who remembers?). We had Cinnamon Squares from Dorie:




These are a simple little snack cake, very moist and tasty, with a ribbon of cinnamon/chocolate struesel running through. Better than a poke in the eye.


We also had Dorie's Caramel Crunch Bars:



These are almost more candy than cookie -- a bit toffee-ish and very sticky and crunchy. A little goes a long way.


I also made Dorie's madeleines, just because I love madeleines.



These sold out first.


I felt we needed a muffin, so turned to Dorie's corn muffin (but left out the fresh corn, as my fresh corn had gotten funky in the fridge).




And finally, I wanted to play around with piped decorations again, so pulled out Rose's recipe for zucchini cupcakes (much better than the King Arthur Whole Grain Baking recipe):




There you have it. Eight weeks of bake sales brought in $794. Not shabby. And have you noticed the new total on the sidebar? My lovely friend Melinda pushed us over the top last weekend. We've got the yard sale in a week, and then fundraising is officially OVER for the season. Not that I'm counting days, or anything.
