Lemonade and Rosettes
Monday June 1, 2009
Looking for a great loss-leader to ensure the success of your young entrepreneur's lemonade stand? These Scandinavian rosette cookies – lightly fried and sweetened with powdered sugar, worked for us last week when our youngest set up his stand to take advantage of the Memorial Day parade crowd passing through our neighborhood. Priced initially at 25 cents each, Scandinavia's answer to the funnel cake was so popular that the team on one float bought an entire plateful, paying a dollar per rosette for the privilege. Since rosettes freeze beautifully, we're already in production in preparation for the Fourth of July activities!

Boy we are sorry that we missed the lemonade stand. We love rosettes, and even though I have a rosette iron, I never make them. Let’s go eat some at the Diehl lemonade stand this summer. Just let us know when they’ll be on sale!
