I hold a firm belief that baked goods should, and usually do, count as currency. All you have to do is find the right yummy for the person and I swear you can get just about anything from them. Even as a hardcore baker, I have my weaknesses that I know I can be bought with. Forget money, I think cookies should be the new way to get what you want....
