Fleur de Lis Candy Baskets


HELLO DEAR SUGAR FRIENDS!

I have missed you all so much, and I am sorry I have been MIA on the blog. Preparing for the Ultimate Cake Off show, during the Christmas holidays, trying to get both the new DVD and website launched, and the chores of daily life took over for a while. It has been a crazy few months for sure. But things are settling down now, and I will be back to posting regularly.

The new Sheet Cake Secrets and Bonus Lagniappe DVDs are ready to ship. Sadly, the new website launched Wednesday for all of 30 minutes before we had to pull it due to a technical problem. I am frustrated and regretful about the delay; but I assure you that the web techies are working on it as we speak. My gut tells me it is going to be a few more days before it is fixed. Please hang tight because I promise the new DVDs will be worth the wait!

AND we are shooting our next DVD this coming Monday! You ask for 'em, we make 'em!

In fact, we are looking for suggestions for topics for our next 2 DVDs. So if you post a suggestion in the comment section here, you will be entered into a drawing for a free gift! I will give away one of the new tools featured in the sheet cake DVDs! Yay! I love give-aways!

So post your ideas and good luck!

In honor of the Saints big Superbowl win (WHO DAT!), and it just ending Mardi Gras season here, I want to share with you these fabulous fleur de lis candies that my talented and awesome sister Barbara made. She made these beautiful baskets as Christmas gifts this year. But fleur de lis are always in style, and always in season!



My beautiful sister with her baskets.





These are made with the Spinning Leaf Oreo cookie molds. They have all kinds of molds for different shaped cookies, in many fun designs. The molds are very easy to use as well, and they work great.





These were made with molded white chocolate. The molds can be found here. The gold color was achieved by using the PME gold luster spray in the can.









Each cookie was put into an individual bag and tied with a ribbon.





Beautiful.








Just a gorgeous gift basket.


Get yourself some of those molds and give it a try.
It really is a lot of fun!

I hope to be back this next week with the announcement that our new DVDs are ready to order. Stay tuned!
