Here we go!

Hello Everyone!!

It has been a few days and I have to say I'm going through withdrawals..Ha! After a busy weekend..I came home to some ingredients calling my name. I decided to give the caramel brownies another shot just to ease my mind and make sure that I do, in fact, have it down pat. Taking what I learned the previous time I did away with the hard caramel candies and went straight for the good stuff...that's right my friends..the sauce! I made my brownie batter and drizzle and swirled in some melted caramel sauce....mmmmmm...They turned out perfect! My only problem is that they are fall apart in your mouth chewy and soft...we will see how my taste testers prefer them.

Tonight it was on to Blondie Brownies...I tried a few different things here and there to see if they really made a difference, and by that I mean I melted butter instead of having it room temp...beat the egg instead of just incorporating it..stuff like that. I think it did....these are, not to toot my own horn, really good...a little crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside..you can really taste the brown sugar which I love. John was literally waiting at the oven when I took them out...but again I am not the one that counts...tasters, get ready!


I now have a facebook and Linkedin account and the website is well underway!! I have already received a couple orders that I can't wait to get started on.

Now I am researching the best prices for boxes and bags for my goodies all 100% environmentally friendly.

The mailing list will be coming out shortly as well--if you would like to be added please send me an email at albany@selunabakery.com It will give you updates,coupons, specials and so much more!

This Saturday will be a busy baking day-- I have an order for Chocolate Cookies with Pecans, White Chocolate Macadamian Nut and Sugar Bars with Strawberry Buttercream :)

Have a great night everyone!

  1. This is so much fun to be watching. When you need a few more orders, let me know, I've got someone in Denver that would love your goodies (and i don't mean that in a "wink wink" kind of way!!)
    by the way....there was a show on here that was spotlightng Boulder and their mission to "go green" and they mentioned a store up there that is 100% green....pretty much anything you want, you can get there. Do you know what I'm talking about?? I'll ask my friend Lila who lives up there what the name of the store is....it looked like a pretty cool place!!
    and seriously....shipping international tests? yeah, baby. I better be on the list!!!
