Brownies Galore

So I have been working on developing new brownies recipes. As well as making ingredient labels. Trying to figure out containor packaging (to sell in resturants & stores, etc). I still have to look into the nutritional info. I am looking into opening up at more Farmer's Markets. Once I get more decisions made, I will let you all know.

In the mean time, if you would like to try anything, or purchase anything let me know.

Love You Guys!

Different Kinds of Brownies

Here is a short list of brownies I have developed. This list will be short because I am still working on recipes.

1. Super Peanut Butter Brownies
2. Smores Brownies
3. Mint Dark Chocolate Brownies
4. Plain Brownies

If you have any suggestions or ideas you would like to share, I am happy to hear them. This list will always be growing. I currently sell the brownies $.25 a piece (they are small) & $12.00 for a 9 x 9 pan.

Baking Tip 1

1. When baking in a pan, spray with oil then cut wax paper or parchment paper to line the bottom of the pan. There is no need for extra flour and you don't always need to use spray oil. The cake / brownies will separate from the sides of the pan. The wax paper on the bottom will help release the cake every time.

Brownies By Design

Hello & Welcome to Brownies by Design. This is a company I am developing. I have another business called Billiemarie Designs. Billiemarie Designs is a craft, sewing, jewelry making business. I use to be a cake decorator and I have worked in many different industries in my life. I enjoy baking and have done so since I was 12 or so. I did discover about almost 2 years ago that I have a lot of food allergies. With this I decided to start by own baking business.

I have seen so many TV shows and business popping up as just cupcakes and just cookies and I thought to myself why not just brownies. I have been working on several different brownie types. I have been doing a lot of research and testing. Some have failed and some have succeeded. I currently started selling my brownies at Community Sales. Please look for me and try my work.

I will post when and where I will be. As well as different types and flavors. I hope everyone enjoys this.
