Melody & Taunya discuss the importance of having a "baker's pantry", and illustrated the point when Melody sent a request for Taunya to bake Chocolate butterscotch bars for her daughter's bday and thanks to the baker's pantry, Taunya was able to begin baking without a run to the store! Taunya also introduces her favorite cookie which just happens to be gluten free and perfect for gift giving (especially to those that have gluten sensitivity).

The sisters also give an update on the business and announce our Bad Ass Baker of the episode.
