First lesson in Food Cost



Made a cake for a chef friend it was his wives birthday, came out nice it has been a few years since the last ribbon and blown sugar bulb I made but it is always fun.

When I was younger my mom would teach me how to make gum paste and buttercream flowers we turned a spare bedroom into a decoration room with table small kitchen aid it was nice used to practice practice practice she is very patient. Next time I go home will have to pullout those old piping bags and give it a spin.

One other time I was in high-School all the guys would give out roses around Valentines day well for my girlfriend at the time I made pulled sugar rose bouquet it totally destroyed anything anyone could have bought and for me it was just sugar and water. That was my first lesson in Food Cost cut out the florist and save the money. $1.00 for a bag of sugar  or $25.00 Dollar Roses she was a nice girl..........but not that nice.
