Recipe(tried): some ideas that worked for me!!

Misc.
ADVERTISEMENT

Hi Eva,
Several years ago I got a license to operate a business in my home. (required to be licensed by my state)...my husband built me a "second kitchen" in a room we weren't using...I sold at 3 different "flea markets", with great success, but it got to be too much for me...so I eventually gave it up...I wanted to do it all...especially "working" the table because I met so many fascinating people, who returned week after week, made some great friends (and, fed my ego at the same time!)
Anyway, I'll try to recall as many things as I can about what people like...and I'd have to say my #1 seller was "brownies", as a matter of fact, my business license was in the name of "The Brownie Lady", (being as my last name was "Brown" also, I thought this "cute". Anyway, another big seller was Cinnamon pound cake, teacakes (frosted), chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, and you wouldn't believe...Rice Krispies treats was a big seller...also, I made double decker fudge (one layer of peanut butter fudge on top of choc.) this was a big big seller...Well, I guess I could go on..oh...I invested in miniature bread pans, because in addition to cinnamon poundcake, I also made pumpkin bread, banana bread (a big seller), also....I bought miniature pie pans, put some melted butter in the bottom mixed with brown sugar, a pineapple slice with a maraschino cherry in the center, and poured in prepared yellow cake mix...these were adorable, and brought back a lot of memories for my customers. I used cupcake papers to "lay" my desserts on, then purchased those large domed trays with the covers to display...If you need any of my recipes..I'd be glad to share, ..
P.S. that was about 8-9 yrs ago, before GRANDCHILDREN....
