You can surprise your loved ones this year with a Buche de Noel (Yule Log Cake). We make this traditional holiday treat by rolling rich chocolate cake with regular or mocha butterfluff, covering it with chocolate ganache, and decorating it with handmade meringue mushrooms.
If you are looking for a special gift or something to bring to a gathering, we make holiday cookie and pastry trays that are perfect for parties, thank-you presents, and other festive occasions.
This year we started making paint-it-yourself sugar cookies, inspired by our friends in Boston. Our iced sugar cookies come packaged with edible "paint", a paintbrush, and instructions.
And don't forget we have special Hanukkah offerings as well...including fun cards, cookies and gifts!
