suzy's sweets at corvette show!

Howdy! Well, the big weather missed us last night, but devastated some towns south and especially east of us...I do not like tornado season, that is for sure. Big doin's around here-Ashland is hosting a local corvette show and SC's Bistro is doing concessions so I will get to supply rolls and cookies and brownies! Hurray! I've got to see if I can make a "car" cookie...too cute, really. Tried yet another version of sweet roll this morning...apple walnut with a cinnamon struesel topping. They look fantastic! I'll have to break one open here in a few minutes and see if they taste as good as they look. I also attempted my version of the Cherry Bounce coffee cake that Grandpa used to buy in Chicago. Complete failure--well, not complete, the cake TASTES good--but that is all! It looks terrible and doesn't taste anything like what I remembered. But now I already thinking of a different way to prepare it...and now that I think about it, I think it was a yeast dough for the "cake" part. I'll email Dad and Jennifer to see if they remember. It has been a nice week of baked good sales, that's for sure. Oh, and I have a new scone idea to try to...cherry pecan. Sounded good! I toasted my pecans, now I just have to whip up my scones and see what people think. And start prepping stuff for this car show--expecting a couple of hundred people, apparently! hurray!
