Kalamazoo Expo Indoor Market MI

YEAH finally the other night we got our power back on but too late for me to go to my favorite show in saginaw!! I was so bummed out!!! But there was just no way to make up all that time baking. I am glad I stayed home as my hubby's grandfather was back in the hospital and then I just got off the phone with my mother in law my sister just had her baby!! CARISSA a big welcome to the world sweet baby girl!!

I also wanted to post some pics I took but after searchin for several hours I still havent benn able to find my digital camera!! Oh my heavens I hope it appears soon I need it!!!LOL no tellin knowing me lately I could have it just about anywhere!!
SOOOOOOOOOOO no pics today!! SORRY!!
I did attend the Goosefestival in Fennville and it was fun!! we sold lots of cookies, bars and brownies. I did try a few new recipes this week that really turned out just absolutely yummy!! the sour cream pumpkin bars with a browned butter frosting were a huge hit, after the frosting set i added a piece of indian corn to each top and they looked great!! Also the smores topped brownies and butterscotch/chocolate chip brownies sold out. My grandma Rose's recipe for pumpkin spice bread was a big hit and sold out and also the carmel apples with toppings and 2 kinds of chocolate sold well. My chocolate peanut butter swirl fudge and chocolate hazelnut fudge were top sellers.

I am gonna be at the kitchen baking all tues as I start the kalamazoo indoor market on wed this week!! YEAH !!! that will be fun to be at a whole new location with new customers. SO come on over if you live near Kalamazoo, it is at the Expo center on the fairgrounds from 7am to 1pm every wed. I will be offering lots of samples to everyone too!!
