Christmas 2010

I have been flat out doing Xmas orders! I knew that it could get busy this time of year but I was not expecting it to ramp up as much as it did!
One of my Random give away winners was waiting on this time to use her voucher, pictures below of a sample of what I did for her.

There were a few others too, but silly me forgot to take pictures!

A repeat customer Ordered 50x Snow flake cookies in 5x various colors, they were very cool to make but when I was done I looked at the finished product and thought they looked very plain, so I got out my luster dust and disco dust and had a little play...much better!




One Idea I had for my Xmas range was a gift box of mini biscuits, these proved to be quite popular with around 10 of these going out to customers. I was having a ball playing around with all the different little details I could get on a such a miniature cookie!


Now, I don't have a particular dislike for Fondant, I just think its a bit of a "cheat"! (no offense to those who use it, great things can be done with it!) I also personally just don't like the taste.
But I have these great impression texture mats that work really well on fondant so I thought I would offer it, This is one order I received for the snowflake set.
This customer also ordered some bauble/ornaments with "merry Xmas" on them.


The very last order for Xmas was picked up on Xmas eve morning, I was still bagging and tying ribbon when she arrived to pick them up! how embarrassing! But she was very appreciative and it was done on very short notice too.


I was mighty pleased to see the last order walk out the door, I spent many nights sitting/standing with a piping bag in hand and never got to bed before 2 am the week before Xmas.
I did enjoy the rush, but it was nice for it to be over!
