$121.00
Is what it costs to make 10 batches of dirt cake. On sale, the ingredients came to about $10.00/batch for a total of $100.00. Then, throw in the cost for 10 buckets to put them in at $1.99/bucket + tax for about $21.00. Grand total: $121.00. Of course, I have the receipts to submit for reimbursement. And, I am getting reimbursed for this. I'd love to say that I have $121.00 that I don't need to spend on anything else and can consider a voluntary contribution to the cause. But, let's be honest; I don't. My immediate manager assures me I'll see the money. She just doesn't want to show Micheal (the GM) the receipts until after he's eaten his fair share of the cake.
That said, in the past two days, I have eight batches of cake prepped and delivered to the restaurant. I have two more batches to make and take in with me today. The Boy and The Husband have been instrumental in the "crushing of the oreos." My job is to mix the remaining ingredients and layer into the buckets with the crushed oreos. I have a bag of gummy worms set aside to add on top to all the buckets once I get to the restaurant. I just hope that I'll actually want to eat any of it after spending so much time making all of it.
