Today's Works For Me Wednesday" is all about the Kroger bakery. I love it there!
1. Did you know that Kroger's bakery sells their disposable cake pans for $1.00!?! They don't advertise that they are for sale, but just ask the lady behind the deli counter. These are GREAT if you are taking a cake to a friend who just had a baby, to a potluck lunch or dinner, or sending a cake to school with your child. Your friend won't have to worry about returning it to you, you don't have to wait until the potluck dinner is over to politely take your cake dome home, and you don't have to worry about your child losing your cake dome!
2. Kroger also sells their icing (the icing that they use to decorate their birthday cakes) by the pound. Again, this isn't advertised. But just ask the lady behind the counter. She'll scoop some out of her 5-gallon bucket and put it in a small container. They have a ton of colors. I usually make my children's birthday cakes because we don't like the taste of any other cake besides Betty Crocker. So we get the taste of Betty Crocker and the look of professional icing!
Also, as a side note, cutting your brownies with a plastic knife(like the kind you get in our Take-Out) makes an increidble difference. Everyone else out there may already know this trick, but I was 35 years old before I discovered it! Anyway, you'll never use your stainless steel butter knife again to cut your brownies!

I've been using the plastic knife in the brownies for a while now, and you're right...it makes a HUGE difference!
Here's something you might know about cutting cakes (but in case you don't): If you have a round layer cake to cut, use a long piece of dental floss. It will cut right through the cake!
I have been up till wee hours for the last 2 nights in a row, reading the romance novel I just can't put down. The pioneer womans blog!!! You weren't kidding she is awesome!

Gotta luv, Kroger!
My hubbie loves it even more because ALL the cute little college girls go there!(:
tiffany, remember the "Wonderful Wednesday" you and I visited AAA's school lunch event? We pulled into the parking lot, and suddenly you remembered you were supposed to bring a casserole to share. We were both so sheepish walking in. Then, out of nowhere, one of your darling friends approached you and plead, "Tiffany, I am supposed to be somewhere else 5 minutes ago, would you please bring this casserole in for me?" Boy, we held our heads high and marched right in with that beautifully prepared dish, waving to everyone as we entered the school. Now that's truly a
"Works for me Wednesday." Is it o.k. to share this on your blog? If we were on the phone, you could censor me. Love, mom
