ReplyDeleteHow in the world??? :-) Heard from my Justin yesterday. He called out of the blue while I was in BJ's Club shopping. I didn't recognize the # on my cell, and was totally caught off guard. I had to ask whom I was speaking to. ( he was a little congested) He said "I'M CALLING FROM CALIFORNIA!!! ........... I said ....... JUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!! my grocery list in my mind from that point on was totally lost. gotta go back out and get what I forgot. lol
have a great day.
Never heard of doing something like that. Look forward to seeing the results. I did my best to stay away from anything breakable when it came to shipping. lol!
ReplyDeleteI used my FoodSaver for everything, and the baked goods arrived fresh every time. Which actually says a lot since some of his packages took a month or two to find their way to him.
It was funny as the muffins and cupcakes would get a bit squished as I learned to use it. They, amazingly, bounced back up when he cut open the bags. For cupcakes, I sent the frosting in a separate baggy, so he could put it on himself. He loved it.
Good luck with your adventure in baking. :)
