Burned 60 croissants in a batch, turned them into bread pudding for a church sale in Fresno
My convection oven decided to run 50 degrees hot right before a bake sale, so I chopped up those hockey pucks, soaked them in custard with cinnamon, and people at St. Anne's bought every slice for $4, did I just solve bakery waste or create a new problem?

Used to side-eye bakeries that sold "repurposed" stuff. Figured it was just a way to make people pay for their screw-ups. But getting $4 a slice for something people genuinely liked sounds like a win, honestly.
Bread pudding is a solid move because it changes the whole thing, not just covers up the taste. And selling out at a church bazaar means nobody felt cheated, they just wanted more. That says more than any argument about waste or money.
