Sometimes I feel like a drug dealer when I deliver baked goods to friends and colleagues. And, that’s not just because I like to lurk in dark alleyways and whisper, “hey kid, you wanna smoke some drugs?” out of the side of my mouth.
It’s also not the whole sugar is a drug thing (Yes, I know it is. No, I’m not going to stop baking).
Maybe it’s because my hobby yields something people generally seem to want to consume. Then there is that part where people enjoy and then talk about why they shouldn’t have. It may also have something to do with my ties to the Salamancas Family. Anyhow on to the biggest baking drug deal of the year: 2018 Holiday Baking!
My analytics weren’t super awesome this year. I just didn’t have time to work on data visualization. In their place, I offer a summary:
- 35 pounds of butter
- 75 pounds of sugar
- 25 pounds of fruits and nuts
- 25 pounds of chocolate
- 3500 units
And some old fashioned visuals. You’ll find a list of everything I baked with links at the bottom.
