The Cake Lady

These cookies may look familiar...
A couple of weeks ago a newly engaged couple celebrated their engagement with friends and family; unfortunately the couple did not get the opportunity to enjoy the desserts from their party.
Wanting her future daughter in law to feel welcome and treasured, the grooms mom requested replica cookies and cake pops, and I'm so very glad I could rearrange some things to make it happen.
These are just for you guys, ❤️

(Don't worry, they dont do 'The FaceBooks'
Oh Linda, Jim has been so excited and anxious to make sure this cake happens for you. You are his EVERYTHING. He has told ne so much about you, I feel as though I personally know you, and I don't even know what you look like!

Let's celebrate an engagement 💍!
What would you grab at the dessert table? Pretty classic cookies? sparkling cake pops? Cupcakes with custom sprinkles?

A quick reminder as the Holiday Baked Goods are all over social media that you can not always trust the random person offering to bake you cookies for a low ball price! Things to watch put for so your not scrambling at the last minute for quality goodies! Every season I get calls asking for a last minute something because someone was scammed by a local hustler, either with poor product, disappointing quality, cancelations, or a stolen deposit and ghosted agreement. Please be careful out there! You're the only one watching your pocketbook!

🚩 Homemade means different things to different people. Ask if its made from scratch! Previously frozen? Food Safe Certified?
🚩 A too good of a price is more then a red flag, but a cause for concern; quality ingredients? Probably not. The price might be to lure you into a "Great Deal!" But you end up getting what you pay for, possibly a box mix or refrigerator tube cookies. Badly decorated, small portions, waxy mouth feel...
🚩 Stock photos are there because the person (or hustler?) likely does not have a photo of their work. Or a photo that you'd want to see 👀. This bait and switch is a real problem and causes a lot of consumer disappointment.
🚩 Prepayment (or an alarming deposit on a small order) is definitely a no go. Nebraska is a buyer beware state and you're responsible for your money and who it goes to. The only legal course to get you money back if they ghost you is a civil suit and maybe Judge Judy.

💚 *Did you know* If you discover someone using The Cake Lady pictures for clout/sales etc, are the first to report and provide credible proof, I give you a FREE dozen decorated cookies or cupcakes for supporting small business ethics? Oh yeah, I'm really not cool with 💩 people

As a side note:
There have been 3 separate occasions when I discovered a person ordering from me and reselling my goods, or using my pictures to gain orders for clout/sales. This is not only amoral but reselling is outright illegal. If you want to host a party and take credit, I honestly don't care, but reselling my items, or using my pictures for gain is not very 'gravy' of you. Do better. Your mother's watching for cheese sakes.

4 cups (1 pound) pecan halves
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Put the pecans to a large mixing bowl and set aside, try not to snack on more then a couple.
In a separate bowl: Add the egg white and water and whisk together (just use a fork) until frothy. Pour the egg white mixture onto the pecans and stir until all of the pecans are fully coated. (no more snacking for you!)
In another bowl, stir together the 1 c sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the cinnamon sugar mixture over the pecans and stir until all of the pecans are fully coated and there are no naked bits.
Spread the pecans onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 300°F for a total of 45 minutes, stirring the pecans every 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, stir again, and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. They crisp up divinely.
Store airtight container in cupboard for upto 6 weeks. (You'll eat them all before then)
Recommend use: snacking, yogurt, lunchboxes, oatmeal, chopped up and added to pancakes or topped french toast.
