Oh, Sugar, Sugar

I was once asked by a customer how much sugar we use in a week. Obviously 
I had no idea because I just sell the sugar.  So, I asked our Production Manager.
He said we use about 1,000 pounds of sugar a week.
Holy Snickerdoodle.  That's a lot of sugar.


Often customers ask if we have sugar-free items, which irks me.
If you have diabetes, you probably shouldn't tempt yourself 
by coming to the best bakery around.  Even after being around it so much,
I never get tired of eating any of it.


Another question asked more than I'd like is "How do you stay
so skinny working here?" I laugh because since I started there I gained
more than 10 pounds, and can't loose it because I keep eating all the baked goods.  I lie and say 
that I have a strong will power. Ha! Yeah right.  The truth of the matter is that
I didn't eat sweets until I started, and now I can't stop. Fail.


The question I answer the most is "What is your favorite thing?" It 
really is a difficult question for me because I can honestly say
that I have never tried anything from the OB that I haven't liked
No wonder I gained so much weight. Oops!

Right now, my new found love is Oakmont Bakery's blueberry scone. 
I didn't even think I would like scones. So surprised.
So, what's your favorite baked good?

  1. haha, I can't stand getting asked questions I can't possibly answer. And I would definitely have the same problem with eating everything if I worked there. The pictures make me wish I had samples of everything right now!
