Book about a kid that makes money selling cake mix

Molly J. Armed with Betty Crocker cake mix and a sheet of calculations, year-old Ashley Yoshida is Fairview’s newest, and probably smallest, entrepreneur. Ashley bakes, designs and sells the cake pops herself and is responsible for buying all of her supplies. She became a businesswoman at age 9, when her grandmother gave her a cake pop recipe book by. For the uninitiated, cake pops are lollipops made of cake crumbs mixed with icing. One afternoon, Ashley and a friend decided to make cake pops using the book’s recipe. When the desserts were ready, the two girls walked over to the Fairview neighborhood of Raze Meadows and walked door-to-door, selling cake pops from a baking tray for 25 cents. After that fateful day, friends of Ashley’s grandparents asked her to make cake pops for a dinner party they were hosting. Ashley’s mom, Carrie Yoshida, says Ashley didn’t charge them for it. Ashley looks alarmed. Since then, business has been good, and prices are up from the initial 25 cents per pop.

Before you turn up your nose when your mom offers to bring a box of cake mix to your house the next time she visits, consider the story of how the much-maligned timesaver came to be in the first place. We have a Pittsburgh company called P. Duff and Sons to thank. On Dec. So Duff figured out how to dry it and add it to a flour mix. And the Duff recipe certainly wasn’t stingy with the molasses— each batch calls for pounds of wheat flour and pounds of molasses. Indeed, the company seems to have believed it had stumbled on the future of baking, and eventually brought the method it patented to bear on cakes, giving us what appear to be the first cake mixes. In addition to the above, unsatisfactory results or failure occur too frequently which represent a serious loss of time, of money, of materials and of energy. In other words, sometimes the hungry families of the early s just wanted a damn cake on the table. The mixes sold for 21 cents per ounce can. The first Duff baking-mix patent was granted on Oct. On June 13, , the company had informed the U. Patent Office that it had made a major breakthrough, arguably the biggest, in cake-mix history—a cake mix that required the home baker to add fresh eggs.
