Our First Baking Attempt

We spent an evening making a variation on the monster cookie for a fundraiser for the high school’s band uniforms. We had a lot a fun baking together, and enjoyed watching the students buy our cookies and exclaim “deliciosa!”
In typical cross-cultural living, we did not realize that the event was not just for the school, but was a lot a grand opening of a “central market” area in town. We were sure to make a sign telling the patrons that we weren’t just trying to make money for ourselves, but were raising money for the school
Another adventure in the books!

Cutting up chocolate kisses because we didn’t think ahead to buy chocolate chips in the capital city.

So cute!

Overall, a great celebration for the opening of the market and we raised some funds for the school, too! Oh and we have a few leftover cookies in the freezer waiting to be thawed on some of those “not so great days”.
