ëntertainment tip: BAKERY EDITION

Ask the right questions and don't be afraid to make special request when visiting the grocery store bakery. Try different icings like a rich cream cheese for cakes or buttercream piped with a round tip for cupcakes. Add an extra layer or two to cakes and bypass the staple shell border, ask for a beaded border instead. Serving cupcakes? Take a step out of  the baking process and order them "naked" and ice and decorate them yourself! These options usually range from a few extra dollars to no extra charge at all! The results will rival a classic bakery buy!
