They come in all shapes and sizes, but they are very similar in how they are made. There is the flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla and, of ...read more

    “May I help you?” That is a familiar greeting when we walk into a store. Anyone who has ever worked in a retail environment knows that question well.
