Winner of the Very Cherry Cheeseball!

Congratulations to Jennifer Snyder!  She won the Very Cherry Cheeseball with her entry asking me about my business!


Jennifer's question was:  "How do you get people to buy in such a bad economy?"  The answer is:

In my four years of selling, I have never felt the need to persuade people to purchase Tastefully Simple's products.  Our product is food, which is not a luxury item; therefore, an economic downturn usually does not affect the sale of our product.   Being that our product is consumable, the rate of reorders is much higher so that helps with repeat sales as well :-)  

Thanks for the question, Jennifer and enjoy your win!!

Cutie Cake Lollipops with Tastefully Simple!

Cutie Cake Lollipops

Ingredients
• 1 pkg. Tastefully Simple Absolutely Almond Pound Cake Mix™
• 3/4 cup butter melted (1 1/2 sticks)
• 1 cup water
• 16 oz. cream cheese frosting
• Sprinkes or sanding sugar for decorating
• 20 oz. pkg. white almond bark (1 lb. 4 oz. pkg.)
• 60 lollipop sticks

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Combine first 3 ingredients; stir to blend. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and top is nicely browned. Cool completely.
2. Break pound cake into crumbs with a fork until you have small, uniform crumbs (the smaller the better for smooth lollipops). With a sturdy spoon, stir in ¾ of the cream cheese frosting; stir until a stiff dough forms.
3. Roll dough into 1-inch balls; insert a lollipop stick into each ball. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Cover; chill 1 hour.
4. Melt almond bark as directed on package; pour into a small deep bowl. Dip each lollipop into the warm almond bark. Set on wax paper-lined baking sheet. Continue with the remaining lollipops. Decorate each with sprinkles, sanding sugar or a drizzle of melted brown almond bark. Makes about 5 dozen (60) lollipops.
