I sometimes do cheat (when it comes to baking) just a little during the holidays when I am very busy. We have several get-togethers in my home during the Christmas/New Years holidays. Sometimes, I confess, I just have to give up on some of the holiday home made treats/snacks and go out and purchase some of the items that I would normally bake.
When this happens, I go to my local Albertson's Grocery Store. I have to admit that I don't shop there very often for groceries but their bakery items are fresh and delicious. They are made fresh right there in the store and the cakes are decorated their too.
They have excellent prices on their cakes, too. I can practically buy my cakes here cheaper than I can make them at home from scratch. Oh, and did I mention that they are delicious.
