Brandon is a very talented young man. It always does me good to see a "local" fellow do well. My cousin Sara Nelson was certainly a wonderful mentor to him. I can actually see some of her inspiration in some of his work. Keep up the beautiful work!

Big Lots carried many of your baking products for awhile and they suddenly disappeared. Is there any place in north east Ohio that sells your products?

Hey Shannon! The rum if added to taste. I would start with 1 teaspoon and go up from there. Personally, I like pungent rum flavor in my sauce, so I add 1 tablespoon of a dark rum. Happy Baking!
