Santa brought me some Godiva peppermint bark candy for Christmas. I found a big bar of it in my Christmas stocking! I have never had it before and figured that if it is Godiva, then it HAS to be good. And it WAS! I love this stuff – I hope to find some on clearance at Target or KMart so I can stock up!
Have a Very Merry Christmas
Starting to Freak Out
So here it is the 14th of December and I’m still trying to figure out what to buy some people as gifts. My two brothers are the hardest to buy anything for. They both make really good money and can afford to go buy anything they like on impulse. So how do you buys something for a guy who already has everything? I’m running out of time and ideas, but I have less than 2 weeks left so I need to get this done!
Cake Decorating Class
The local craft store here has classes at the store for ll kinds of crafts. I went in looking for some Christmas decorating ideas and saw that they have a cake decorating class on the weekends. The classes don’t start until January. I’m sure the Christmas shopping takes precedence over crafts classes in December.
I’m going to see if my girlfriend, Felicia, wants to take the classes with me. She likes to decorate cakes but is self-taught. She always talks about wanting to learn more professional methods – this might be the best chance for her to get thatunder her belt and it will give me someone to ride with.
Cake Pops Fad
Everyone is raving about a dessert called cake pops. Have you seen them? They are balls of cake about the size of a golf ball that are stuck on sticks like lollipops. But they cake is completely covered in icing and then decorated very elaborately. Most of the ones I’ve seen have been decorated for a holiday or as animals.
Lat night I saw an infomercial for a special set of pans to make them at home. I think they are about $20 for a set of pans that have a special locking lid to force the rising cake better to form into small balls. I think that is a cool idea – I wish I could find the pans in the store instead of ordered from a toll free number. I didn’t write down that number from the commercial so I don’t know how to find them.
