Local Baker Fills Tall Order for RNC
Jacquie MacDonald rented out the kitchen of Sweet Caroline's bakery in Palm Harbor, so she and her team could fulfill a large order of more than 15,000 baked items for the Republican National Convention.
We've all probably baked a couple dozen cookies. How would you feel about baking more than 15,000 items?
That's the tall order received by Jacquie MacDonald, owner of Jacquie's Smart Foods, a company that bakes health-conscious treats.
MacDonald's baked goods are sold at Fit Life Foods, a new company that sells "grab and go" health-conscious, pre-packaged meals and snacks at its stores, including the Clearwater location on McMullen Booth Road.
