Well isn't that the truth! The cold has found us up here in New England, along with the snow, icy roads, and of course the Christmas music! The holidays are in the air and everyone can feel it. I cut down my shopping a ton this year, but I still enjoy heading over to Barnes and Noble with Louis, grabbing a skinny peppermint mocha and browsing the mall, mostly people watching and just soaking in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season! I also enjoy baking for it which I have started. Last year, I did snowmen--but this year I introduce the new and improved. Yes my skills have definitely been taken to the next level. These little guys (or gals, you choose!) are warm and cozy and iced with pearled perfection!
Then I added them with a bunch of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!
Yes they are quite cute! They are actually for a little girl I know who is celebrating her birthday this weekend. Perfect little treats to share with her friends!
Hope you're all getting into the holiday spirit as much as I am! Much more to come--- my brother returns next week for a couple of weeks and with him comes all my "brothers" from college who love these desserts more than anyone I know, so I need to get baking! Enjoy the snow everyone... not fun to drive it but it sure is beautiful! There is absolutely nothing like New England in the wintertime :)
