Squash Breads!


This week I'm making two kinds of bread. We have squash to use up so I'm going to make Cinnamon Squash Bread and Orange-Walnut Squash Bread. The cinnamon kind is our favorite but Grandma and Grandpa brought over a loaf of the Orange-Walnut kind and it's really good too.

Last week we sold 10 loaves of apple bread and 6 pumpkin rolls. That ended up being $46 for the trip! Thanks for helping me out!

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, we'll still make pumpkin rolls for anyone who wants them. They freeze really well!

Cinnamon Squash Bread $5 or 2 for $8
Orange-Walnut Squash Bread $5
Pumpkin Rolls 3 for $15

Awesome Apple Bread!


This week I'm making apple bread from apples our neighbor gave us. Mom made a batch yesterday and it was delicious! I hope you'll order a loaf!

Last week my profit was $25.20. Thanks for the orders! Mom said I can still make pumpkin rolls and pumpkin bread if anyone wants them, but I need to sell the pumpkin rolls in mulitples of 3 and the pumpkin bread in multiples of 2 because she doesn't want leftovers.

By the way, they freeze really well!

Yummy Pumpkin Bread!

Last week I baked and sold 12 pumpkin rolls! Mom is helping me figure out what it costs to make things, the best prices for ingredients, and
how much profit I'm earning. Last week I earned just over $3 per pumpkin roll. I'm thinking about different recipes to try. If you have suggestions, let me know! I have to think about how much different recipes cost to make and how much time is involved. Pumpkin rolls were sort of expensive because cream cheese and pumpkin are a little pricey. I thought about making whole wheat bread because it's really good and inexpensive to make, but it takes more time. There's lots to consider when I pick a recipe!

This week I'm going to make pumpkin bread. We found two recipes online that had lots of really good reviews and my mom made them both this morning for us to compare. We liked them both for different reason so I'm going to try to figure out how to make one better recipe. Let me know if you want to try a loaf!
