Barefoot, I hear you. I am not good at either one of those things. Sometimes I try. But I am not, by any means, suggesting that.
I know of a church ladies' group that has a fundraiser with homemade cookies. These ladies (who all know their way around a kitchen) bake dozens and dozens of their personal best cookie recipe.
Then they all get together and make up beautiful trays of homemade cookies to sell. There are other women who cannot wait to buy those beautiful trays of homemade cookies so that they can take them to the office or to a party and pretend that they made them themselves.
Two things to be careful about with this:
1. Make sure to remember that it is best to imply rather than claim that you made the cookies. At least until you see the lay of the land, in case some other woman shows up with the same thing.
2. And put the cookies into the trunk so you do not wolf them all down in transit.
btw, I guess I need to say here that this church is in Ohio. But maybe somebody in TV does this, too.
And I am not even sure that these ladies still do this fundraiser. I think it was such a huge success that they had to turn women away who wanted to buy those trays of cookies. And we all know that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. -- or is it "a woman's scorn."? Not sure. (And here I am, sitting here this morning, drinking coffee, and digressing all over the place, when I could at least be trying to bake some cookies. Oh, well)
