Making Bars and and Enjoying the Sun






Ok, so I had a busy weekend. Sunday, we all went to my husband's Aunty Betty's cottage in Petersfield. It is a year round home that is not your typical cottage. Very modern and beautiful. Gorgeous lakefront, glorious views. It was a warm sunny day and we had so much fun. The kids didn't want to leave. They were playing in the sand from 2pm until we left which was about 8:30 pm. Long time!!


I also made some whipped lemon bars this past weekend. They are tdf. I

don't know if I will be selling them on etsy, but they may appear during my shows this fall. I have been adding my bar shapes again, but nothing compares to my loaves . Over the years, my loaves always out sell my bars. People just like the idea of hand cut bar maybe?? I would hand cut right in front of them, but over time I switched to displaying on cake plates so people can see and smell, then have everything prepackaged. It got too busy to do the cutting in front and then packaging.

I have been recently including in my orders as a thank you, the chocolate mint parfait bars. It kind of reminds me when you go to a restaurant, you get a mint as a "thank you"..or when you go to a nice hotel ,they put a chocolate on your pillow as a thank you...
