Christmas Treats

Looking for something fun to take to your Christmas party this year? We create all sorts of unique holiday cakes. Maybe you're looking for a winter wonderland scene with snowmen and snowflakes. Or maybe a cake with Santa's reindeer? Just let us know what you're looking for and we'll design something special for you.

Cupcakes are another great option. They're just the right size for the little people at your party. The kids can have their own treat after Christmas dinner while the adults enjoy their "grown-up" dessert.

We also make some fun iced sugar cookies. Each one is made from scratch and decorated by hand. From snowflakes to mittens to snowmen, we've got lots to choose from. Great for tucking into stockings...just put one in a little bag and tie with a ribbon. Easy!

Oh, and the best part? Our goodies taste as good as they look. To order, all you need to do is call us at 780-459-6560. Merry Christmas!

Hmmm...how to keep the kids busy at the family Christmas party?

Here are a few of our favorite ideas:

• Set up a craft station to make ornaments. Stock up on popsicle sticks, pompoms, pipe cleaners, beads and glue. Let the kids create!
  

• Have some "Minute to Win It" type games ready to go. Have the kids race each other to stack six metal nuts (from the hardware store) on top of each other using only a pencil (no hands!). Last year, at our family Christmas, one of the challenges was to put cookies on our foreheads and get them into our mouths by simply scrunching up our faces -- lots of laughs with that one! Check out the Minute to Win It website for more game ideas.

• Have a white elephant gift exchange: all the gifts have to be something from home that you don't need (want!) anymore. Each person can open a new gift or "steal" someone else's when it's their turn.

• Give the kids gingerbread men or sugar cookies to decorate with icing and candies. Put the icing into Ziploc bags and snip off the corners so that kids can squeeze out the icing.

• Set out a stocking and a bucket full of a bunch of household items. Let the kids take turns putting an item into the stocking and turns guessing what's inside just by feeling it.

Hope you have fun at your holiday get-togethers this year. We're sure looking forward to ours!
