Good grief DMC...$48 for cookies decorated like that? Heck, they look as bad as mine and there's no way I'd feel right charging anyone for them.

Yours looked better then that!! I charged 1 time for cookies for Christmas a couple years ago. $24 for 2 dozen. I was stressed out over it so won’t do it again. I’m not secure enough. I told my sister she was crazy to pay that as she knows I always make goodies, she agreed and kept mine

I’ve been told I should sell what I make but just can’t do it. I went to my sisters for Christmas and she bought some cookies from a new in home business in town to give them a try. I brought my tray of goodies as I always do. Sister packaged up boughten stuff and was going to drop it off where she works. She made me try it first. My other sister wouldn’t try it. She paid $48 for what she got. I should maybe thing about selling my stuff if she gets that much for this. She may have had more in the kitchen that wasn’t put out.

At least it's nice to know that nearsighted chicken has a steady job.

I'm wondering if she maybe did the baking and let her kids do the decorating Share the wealth kind of enterprise.

I get the open your own business stuff too. But then it would not be fun anymore...it would be work.

That is very sad about the business selling bad goods.

It is sad and they are just starting out. I enjoy baking and giving away...costly though!

Thank you for making me feel less stupid about my stupid posts.
I saw a recommended book entitled The Modern Stand Mixer Cookbook for the New Bride.
It’s for “newly engaged, newly married, or just getting a new stand mixer” people. I think I’ll download it. I already read about using it to shred cooked chicken. I never would have thought of that! It is broken up by the attachment. The three that come with it, and the ones you can buy. It also walks you through attaching everything. For $5, I think it will be handy.
