For days leading up to my departure from the US, I collected things I thought would be helpful in making the cake in Germany and would save money on ingredients, priced in the unfavorable Euro. I collected chocolate, knives, equipment, bottles of vanilla, cheap bags of confectioners sugar, baking pans, gum paste, dowels, an oven thermometer in Fahrenheit, vanilla beans, more chocolate, cardboard cake boxes, cardboard cake circles, a variety of piping bags and tips - anything to make shopping a less prominent feature of my work. The bag weighed 48.5 lbs at the Delta ticket counter. I checked it in.
