Saturdays are for Baking..Part 2

When I started baking, I always used box. However, I have transitioned into making all my cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pies (even pie crusts), breads, etc from scratch. BUT, when I heard that a local wholesale company was selling cake mixes at 70% off (Near date expiration, like 60 days from now) I bought several cases. I knew that I would bake all of those in about two weeks time, so I went and bought them. I was pretty glad I did, because not only did I bring a ton of sweets to the many parties this weekend, I also gave every neighbor on the block a tray of goodies... and did not brake the bank!!!

My daughter, Kiki

My niece, Akari

The girls made the cookies, and I made the rest...
We had a great time...

CANDY DAY

Happy Halloween!!

OMG it is candy day! LOL... woohoo for sugar!

Okay, so I went to Price Costco to get some halloween candies, but the prices were absurd! A box of chocolates would cost like $22. Well, I know this is the norm / average price around Saipan, but I also now that wholesalers sell them cheaper. So, off I went to Cosmos Wholesale and a box of Crunch (they were out of all the other goodies) containing 24 candy bars cost me $12.00 atleast .50 cents / candy bar! Oh my..

I ordered some candy bar wrappers to wrap the chocolates, making it special for the kids!

((By the way, the halloween pail comes free if you purchase a bag of hersheys minis at Joeten, Dandan)). I also heard that Mobil gas stations are giving out free light sticks to children, it is part of the MCV cares promotion that they have.... not sure if they still have any left, but I heard it was in yesterday's paper.
