That's until I got frustrated and annoyed when I needed a cup of them; I decided to make sure I was actually being cheap. I weighed the nuts and the shells... Turns out to be almost the exact same cost to buy them already unshelled... :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382382245312722249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272343321776604309.post-75196294603760415502012-04-09T20:27:20.801-04:002012-04-09T20:27:20.801-04:00I live in Brooklyn and go to Baked bakery, their B...I live in Brooklyn and go to Baked bakery, their Brownies are great but their cakes and cupcakes are always to dry, the frostings are very good.
