Hello!

I have a cake pop booth. I did my best to make as many as I could for the full weekend but it turns out 400 was probably a bit low.

The event runs 10am-8:30pm tomorrow so I just can’t make more when I get home if I need more for Sunday again.

If I sell everything planned for tomorrow I won’t have a huge amt for Sunday… may sell out hours before the end of the day.

What do you do if that happens? Sit there til the end so it doesn’t look like you left early (that’s what I did today), but take signs down? Tear down early and notify organizer?

I’m also moving out of state in 2 weeks lol but I don’t want to burn bridges as it’s a large city event and you just never know.

Thank you!!

Hello, I have a couple of uboxes im using to move 14 hours away. My question is. Does anyone have advice as to whether I really neeeed the insurance? It’s only $17 but I also am kind of stretched out on moving expenses already. Thank you!

Hello, I just wanted to pass this along. Here’s what I’m supposed to do each meal.

1/4 of the plate- protein of ANY kind
1/4- carbs/grain (ideally complex carbs)
The rest- any fiber. Any fruit or veggie.

We focused on things I don’t have to cook and prepare. So I’ve been doing things like Greek yogurt with granola and berries. Microwave chicken nuggets and cereal plus veggies from a tray. Tuna packet with crackers and a banana.

Even tho I’m supposed to do it 3 meals a day I’m finding it feasible.

I used to just eat a banana or a lot of grapes then wonder why I was still hungry bc at least I was eating something.

I hope this helps anyone:)

Hello,

I have a small cake pop business and have a bunch of large multi day festivals coming up. I need to make like 600 cake balls at a time and freeze them until time to dip. I haven’t found a really good, truly airtight freezer bin that effectively prevents ice crystals. Tried some rubber seal ones but they became less effective after several washes.

I didn’t have a ton of luck on webstaurantstore. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

Hello friends! I flew in from KY this week to go apartment hunting with the bf. I finally applied somewhere and I wanna go celebrate. What are some delicious restaurant recs in this area? Can be any cuisine. Ideally under $30/entree.

Thank you!!!

Hello! I’m traveling up next week to tour some places. I looked at a lot of companies including bigos and others. A lot of these places, when I googled reviews they were pretty bad. I’m a bit stressed out- can anyone recommend a good, reliable company?

Needing a 1br anywhere within 20 min of Minneapolis and ideally under $1300 but would go to $1400. I just need a dishwasher and some parking lol, ideally 700+ sf if possible. No issues with older places.

Thank you:)

Hello! Does anyone live in a downtown/other type of apartment that does the bill back thing, where they distribute utility amounts based on your apartment size rather than paying for your actual usage?

Basically I’m wondering if it’s really the $70-200 for everything, that’s I’ve been being told on tours (heat, water/sewer, trash, pest control etc).

Thanks for any insight. Trying to figure out budget things.

Hello!!! I’m moving up in September to be with my bf. My heart has been set on a proper downtown apartment (240 park ave) but if they don’t have something by then, I found a complex I like in uptown.

I’ve heard it’s kinda a has-been spot and that’s not like.. a huge issue, but I’m curious if you actually like living there. I have a cake pop business from home and will be spending a lot of time with the bf but also like to get out and traipse around, I’m very extroverted. It doesn’t look too far from downtown.

I’m 34f originally from Atlanta, currently in Lexington KY.

Thank you!!!

Hello! Basically the title. I’m gonna be making this stand and not sure the best way to stabilize. Ideally something that folds down or is removable. Thanks so much in advance:)

Hello, for some reason my last few boxes (granted they were everyplate) I had a roasted .5” potato cubes and a potato wedges recipe. Both had issues where they’d still be underdone but taste burnt. Oven is pretty new and very accurate. Has anyone had issues like this?

Hello!

I make my royal icing with egg whites. I can’t get them to beat to stiff peaks tho and I assume it has something to do with the carton whites.

I really want to get it figured out. I’ve always added more powdered sugar to make it more stiff. Has anyone else run into this? Do you have any suggestions?

Recipe is
3 egg whites
1 lb powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

(Preppy kitchens recipe)

Thank you!!
