Business has been booming, guys, and we couldn't be happier! Between baking for the restaurant (more on that later), online orders, and fun "surprises" for friends, we cannot believe that we're already more than halfway through May. Where has this month gone?
Today we had the opportunity to do something we've never done before: go shopping at Restaurant Depot. For those of you who have no idea what RD is, it's similar to a Sam's Club in terms of it offers bulk food at wholesale prices. However, unlike Sam's Club, which is tailored for families, RD is tailored towards, well, restaurants. You can buy a 50lb bag of flour in one aisle, and then head over to the next aisle for a swimming pool of Heinz ketchup (slight exaggeration). For someone who regularly flies through flour, sugar, butter, and flavorings, it was pretty much like Disney World on a rainy Saturday morning.
We ended up buying a 25lb bag of powdered sugar, which sounds like a lot, but that will not last us long. Maybe we should've picked up another one. Oh well, we can also go back. We also picked up a tub of peanut butter you could fit a small child into, and a wonderful find of almond extract.
This picture above, we've added for comparison. The bottle on the left is one most of you are probably familiar with, all major grocery stores sell it. If it's on sale, you can snag that baby for $3.99.
The bottle on the right. We bought for $9.14. We could drink that bottle of almond extract, and the value is ridiculously good. As we mentioned, the Restaurant Depot may be the best place in the world (don't get too excited, it's a pretty exclusive club...you actually have to own a restaurant to shop there. Sorry guys!)
We need all this almond extract because we have been baking so much for our new restaurant deal. It's definitely been an adjustment, baking every night getting stuff ready for our weekly delivery, but we have loved it so far. And the feed back has been great...cheesecakes, pies, cakes, everything seems to be a big hit.
If you want to head out for some PSR treats yourself (and we think you all should!) you should head out to Champs Sports Bar in Penn Hills. That's where everything available for you to buy and consume. The address, for those of you up for a road trip, is 540 Rodi Rd Pgh. If you head down, go for a meal, the food is good, and decently priced. Just make sure you save room for dessert!! :-) For example, this week this apple pie is on the menu (and trust us, it's amazing!!)
We will be updating later this week, we have a cake we're pretty excited to tell you guys about (it's a surprise delivery, so we can't detail too much here. Just in case someone other than our mom reads this blog). But check back, we'll be posting some pretty awesome pictures!!
Even though it's raining, enjoy the weekend! We have two cakes in the oven right now, our work is never done!! Talk to you guys soon!
