Brick-Shaped Goodies

Linda is speaking the truth here never doubt it!

Another suggestion...Texas Brownies almost rise like a cake so they'd look more like bricks than regular brownies.

maybe this would look too nasty, but what about blondies died brick red (using whatever they use for red velvet cake)?

Well, I'm older than the rest of the whippersnappers involved (save for one board member in his 50's), so I almost count.

For those who are interested, BTW, the information on the festival is now up on Babel's website: clickety. Maybe that graphic will inspire us further!

I love the idea of the red blondies...I wonder if I could sell squares of red velvet cake? No reason you couldn't eat that with your hands, even with a little cream cheese (mortar) frosting...

I recently held a bakesale with my son. We made the oatmeal bars from Marthastewart.com and folks loved them. The peanut butter and jelly bars were a hit as well.

One thing: An older woman bought a cupcake. Tore it in half and flipped the iced side down forming a cupcake sandwich. It was brilliant. Could you not do that with red velvet? Essentially a torted cake with filling but not iced. It would both look like a brick and look like mortar. Plus it'd be easy to saran wrap.

How old must one be to refer to others as whippersnappers???

I do that, too! And I sure hope I don't qualify as an "older woman", yet! Although I think I probably do...

Megan--I thought the brownies with caramel were perfect for your theme, too. The lemon apricot bars kind of looked the part, too, I thought, with the apricot jam being the glue that holds your bricks together.
