My mom and I went halves on the Bon Appetit Dessert book and oh wow is it ever so amazing! It has more than you could ever want or need in a dessert compilation. I am so excited and can't wait to go shopping for new supplies to bake these delicious creations. This is going to put a serious dent in my budget and I do believe I need to start selling my creations. I didn't have enough of the ingredients for the more complicated desserts that I wanted to create so I made some Peanut Butter cookies last night. I also didn't have crunchy peanut butter, but they turned out well nonetheless. I made one batch into thumbprint cookies with strawberry jam. My brother described them as PB & J sandwich cookies. I have so many things that I want to bake now! Not that I didn't want to bake before, but I have half a mind to bake my way through this book. It would only take me 2 years just about if I made something everyday. Unfortunately, I have to put my efforts toward other things and highly doubt I could afford such a hobby. I'll stick with baking on the weekends.
I realized after going to the Farmer's Market that I really could turn passion into business if I wasn't so scared of taking out a business loan and failing. After perusing the wares of other culinary enthusiasts and looking at the prices I decided I could make a decent, albeit hard earned living on baking. I would also have to wake up VERY early in the morning, which I am not too fond of. Although in looking at the pros and cons of my current 8-5 job, I believe I would rather wake up early, be on my feet all day and feel satisfied that I gave my customers delicious cookies and cakes to bring home to their loved ones, or eat on the way home. C'est la vie for now. Maybe one day I will stop talking and actually go into business.
