I ate my Danish for D-day but didn't get a chance to write about it. Now, I do.

This Danish is... literally... six inches across.

In a particularly detailed look into the mechanics of creating hundreds of champagne brownies for her first shipment, she reports that selecting brownies as her first product was a challenge; mostly because it's hard to tell from the surface if your pan is done. "I would advise people to start with a nice and simple product like cookies where you can immediately tell if they are done or not," she says.

It made me think about the dream both I and practically everyone I know shares somewhere deep inside: that I should open a bakery/restaurant/cafe someday. "This is so wonderful, you should sell it!" exclaim your friends. "Why don't you open a ___ shop?" everyone at work asks you.

But what is it? What recipe have you perfected so assiduously that it would be the obvious choice if you were to open a bakery? For me, it changes from season to season, but my friend Larissa and I have lately been dreaming about opening a cupcake bakery and selling our products at our favorite local farmer's market. What about you?
