I am guessing that it is now about 10:30 pm?

Actually, at the time of posting, I think it would've been 11:30, since I think they're an hour ahead of us

According to Google, I thought it would have been about 1:30 a.m. at the time of posting. But I consider you to be more reliable than Google.Marvin D. wrote:Actually, at the time of posting, I think it would've been 11:30, since I think they're an hour ahead of us
How many days ahead can you bake things for farmer's market, and still consider it fresh? =)

Aw, close enough. I think it's cute, but I will probably change it back to a picture of Laura soon.Marvin D. wrote:Actually, at the time of posting, I think it would've been 11:30, since I think they're an hour ahead of us

It depends on what it is. My candies last for weeks. For example, I normally would make fudges on a Wednesday before a Saturday market, and I feel comfortable selling that for 3 market days, which would make it just over 2 weeks old on the last day IF it doesn't sell out before then. The next week after that, I would take any leftover fudge and cut it up to give away free with any purchase. I know from that that it is still good even that week later.Sunshine wrote:How many days ahead can you bake things for farmer's market, and still consider it fresh? =)
Cheesecakes I make on Thursday nights. Cheesecake is best if it sits at least 24 hours before eating. If I bake it Thursday evening, it has time to chill overnight, then I can cut and package the slices on Friday.
Everything else I make on Friday. All cookies, cupcakes, muffins, pies, etc. Some people have expected me to have made everything on Saturday morning....they don't understand how much time goes into the amount of food I make. The oven is on usually on from 6 am Friday until 1:30-2 in the afternoon, then everything has to cool, be weighed, packaged, labeled, and then packed up in boxes to transport. I don't usually finish up the last preparations until 8-9 at night. As it is I get up at 5 am on Saturdays just to get to the market on time, so it's just not possible for me to do it that morning. Last week, I had a lady call me after supper on Friday to order 2 pies for Saturday. Uhhhhhhh....no. Too late.
If I have leftovers, I freeze some things to take out for dessert when we have company. Catspaw and JF had some of my cheesecake from the freezer. Cookies and such I save to send to Watson's work on Monday, and I sell it for a reduced price, usually about half off. Muffins and cupcakes leftover we can take to church for our potluck snacktime.

Laura, I'm going to become your neighbor, all right?

Okay! My closest neighbor has only gotten 1 pie so far, so I'm not sure you'll get any benefits from being my neighbor. Maybe you can smell the baking wafting through the windows on Friday.

I haven't, simply because I haven't set up any payment system on my website, and because I'm really not certain how to deal with the tax situation for out-of-area purchases. Plus most of my fresh baked goods wouldn't last very well with shipping, although it's true that fudge and other candy would probably do fine.

How long have you been baking?

Perhaps 4-5 years old in that picture, not sure if that was my first foray into baking or not. I was in my mid teens when I took my first cake decorating classes.

It's Laura Ingalls, naturally. Played by Melissa Glibert in the 70s/80s TV show. I have several avatars of her, in various ages.

Ah. I guessed it was an actor who played Laura, but I wasn't sure.
Is the TV series like the books?

Well, it's based on the series, but as with all adaptions, they did take quite a few liberties. I enjoy each one for what they are! I actually want to read the books again, as it's been quite a long time since I read them.

You need to at least borrow them from the library and see what you think! LHOP FTW!
