Love the totes Lillie! If I don’t win I’ll just steal Josie’s the next time I’m in NYC. I assume she’ll be ok with that. But I’d much prefer that she and I can saunter around Brooklyn with matching totes. We’re more likely to make friends that way.

Ekk. . . so awesome. But what can a girl do if she doesn’t live in Brooklyn and doesn’t win a tote? Is there a BAKINGMAKESFRIENDS etsy page? If we order three, do they come with a free stick of butter?

Reply

Lillie February 22, 2012 at 12:16 pm

Thank you for asking Shaara! Yes, they will be available online soon! I’m also trying to figure out the best way to throw in that stick of butter! Ha! 🙂

One can never have enough tote bags….

Jeremy February 22, 2012 at 12:28 pm

I like the bag but I like pie even more. Maybe a pie recipe soon? Blueberry would hit the spot but it’s not in season…. Rhubarb?

I desperately need this bag to carry my books, “Weird Ideas” notebook (“sweet corn souffle with white chocolate center”; “soft pretzels filled with peanut butter and jelly”), tools and cake building supplies to and from pastry school. Inevitably it will also be jammed full of snacks, a half empty jar of Biscoff spread, multiple spoons and an assortment of candy wrappers.

Angelina February 22, 2012 at 12:50 pm

One can never have too many totes! Perfect for carrying home some lemons for some bread pudding and olive oil cake I plan on baking next.

Johnna February 22, 2012 at 12:56 pm

Baking is one of my favorite things to do. Not only is it therapeutic, but it’s also immensely rewarding to see something you’ve created with your hands (and sometimes, sweat) come to fruition!

I’d love to see a post on how you manage to cook in your NYC-sized kitchen. I find that I bake more now that I have more than .5 sq yds of counter space. 🙂

We are putting in a chicken coop, and with an excess supply of eggs on the way, I’d love some more quiche recipes!

Also, my cats names are Mikey and Marley 🙂

The tote is adorable – love it!

Dana February 22, 2012 at 1:17 pm

So cute! I need to make some kind of grab-and-go bars or breakfast item for my giant-sized fiance. England just doesn’t make things big enough for him! I will provide a US address though 🙂

Reply

Ali February 22, 2012 at 1:18 pm

I *need* this tote. I promise to carry some snacks, but I have to admit it will most likely be filled with books I need to read (while wishing I had some BMUB snacks to enjoy simultaneously…). It looks gorgeous and I can’t wait to make new friends whilst carrying it around Seattle!

Reply

Jasper February 22, 2012 at 1:24 pm

My animal’s names in the past and present have been/are: Cucumber, Zucchini, Spam, and Naartjie (tangerine). Challenge: Include at least TWO of these in a new baked good. If the people love it, I’ll take a tote. And the totes are super, btw!

Caroline February 22, 2012 at 2:45 pm

Lil – these are incredible. I need to get my hands on one!

I need one of these – I will give it to my friend who will be so excited because it fits her to a T!! and then when they go on sale I will buy one for myself because I LOVE IT!! So well done. oooooh… now I want to go bake!

Reply

Sarah February 22, 2012 at 6:47 pm

I love that bag! And I’d love to have one!

Reply

Hannah February 22, 2012 at 6:50 pm

Yayayayayay! All my totes are getting grimy, so I def need a new one! As for baking ideas, are you allowed to include baked goods made for getting baked? I know, i know, keep it classy, so that’a all i’ll say. But ALSO how about something hot and chocolaty that you pour liquor over. . .

Reply

Molly February 22, 2012 at 7:31 pm

These are awesome!! I cannot wait to buy one when they’re ready to be sold!! You know my kitties well: Lucy and Leo!! I think you should make some cream cheese brownies – extra moist and chocolately! YUM!

Ooookkk, Lillie- here’s the deal. That’s a cute bag. Secondly, I made these today: http://whatsgabycooking.com/slutty-brownies/ and baking truly makes friends because I’m sending all but the 2 Mike and I ate just now to work with him! As long as he doesn’t keep them in his drawer at work for himself, I better make some friends with them.

I miss our craft nights with your mom. Candle making, basket weaving, the magnificent Cupcake disappearing act video!

Jean Sullivan February 23, 2012 at 5:01 am

BMUB – ooh, la, la. With butter and cayenne and chocolate how can you go wrong?

Reply

Sarah van Loon February 23, 2012 at 8:20 am

oh my goodness – I love this bag, but I would absolutely give it to my friend who is a hard-core baker. This would be such a wonderful gift for her! Thanks!!

I’ve been candying citrus like mad, making chocolate beet cakes with candied citrus on the bottom. And, anxiously waiting the BMF event! See you tonight!

Cara February 23, 2012 at 2:59 pm

Me me me! I don’t have enough Lillie in my life, carrying this bag will maybe begin to make up for that!

Fiona February 23, 2012 at 3:19 pm

Baking really does make friends! Now that I work at Butterlane in the east village, I make friends with customers all the time!

There is truth written all over that bag.

Marie February 23, 2012 at 4:53 pm

How cute!

How about some more frozen desserts? Maybe some that involve boozy fruit?

Reply

Shana February 23, 2012 at 5:04 pm

This is fabulous. SO true, and such a great idea! Whenever I bake, all my neighbors are so much more interested in chatting…
