Look at that yummy cinnamon roll! Well I just want to tell you what a sweetie my husband is.
I first need to tell you that the 5 1/2 years that Darryl was Bishop he didn't like the YW to have fundraisers for girls camp. He just gave them the money out of the budget and girls came up with the rest. For 5 1/2 years I have given him a hard time because I thought it was a great idea for them to earn money through a fundraiser. Any who...We now have a new bishop and he is completely OK with fundraiser...bless his little heart! So for my first fundraiser as the new YW pres. we decided to sell homemade cinnamon rolls for father's day. First of all, Darryl makes a wonderful cinnamon roll and anyone who has tasted them loves them. Well, we did a great job selling. Just guess how many rolls we sold? I was going to be so happy if we sold 50 dozen
(now 50 dozen is a lot).
Are you guessing?
We sold 132 dozen cinnamon rolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you Hear me?
132 DOZEN CINNAMON ROLLS!
I must say, Darryl didn't complain at all except once to say...remember I hate fundraisers.
He had things so organized. Two days before he bought ingredients, prepared the Cinnamon/brown sugar mixture and the 70 POUNDS of cream cheese frosting. We started Saturday morning about 6:30 am and the girls and leaders showed up at 8:00 am. He had 5 work stations making bread in the kitchen, a rolling out station, a frosting station, a boxing station. We baked at two homes and the kitchen at the ward. (Thanks to Jay & Shye Petersen for coming and going all day to bake, return to the Church, pick up more, back home, bake more, back to the church.....) Darryl was so organized.
We put the music on and started our day. The girls and leaders did such a great job! Thanks to all who helped (Darryl's cousin, Bill also). We finished about 6:30 pm. It was such success! Our feet and backs are killing us (I'm sure the extra weight we carry and our age don't help matters) I want everyone to know how wonderful Darryl is. I would have complained, cussed etc. But he just put on a great smile and went to work. By the time the last batch went in oven the girls had down the right size to cut the cinnamon roll, how much frosting was really suppose to be on each roll (OK, some of the leaders went a little over board and we could not tell if it was a box of frosting or cinnamon rolls) they looked great and tasted great. We had so much fun. Someone asked at church today if we were going to do this again? My response was...Don't ask today, it is a lot like giving birth it is to soon to think about. Thanks to all who supported us!
Happy Cinnamon Father's Day
