Hi all. Sorry I missed a day, but things are getting a bit hectic in the shop.
We’ve got a couple of big corporate orders we’re working on, as well as a new coffee shop in Woodstock that is going to be selling our cupcakes and baked goods. It’s Wassail Weekend in Woodstock, so we’re baking loads of cupcakes, making as many marshmallows as I can and whipping up some other sweet treats! If you’re in VT this weekend, head over to Wassail Weekend and have some cupcakes. Dave and I are going to try to make it on Sunday, but you never can be sure around here.
Me in my very messy chef’s coat cutting up some pink vanilla marshmallows.
Arranging them in confectioners sugar to dry overnight.
So pretty! (and YUMMY!)
Pans all ready for the marshmallow mixture.
My mixer can hardly handle whipping up a double batch.
Vanilla marshmallows.
All the marshmallows.
Well, it may look like all I’ve done is make marshmallows, but we’ve been busy with beach cookies, logo cookies, a few hundred cupcakes, we got the best tree ever, I was up until 2am decorating the tree and rearranging the 1st floor. Barely enough time to clean the bathroom!! And my poor kitties are feeling very neglected, but I keep telling them “someone’s got to bring home the bacon to keep them fully stocked in cat food”
And, yes, I said BEACH COOKIES. It ain’t easy icing beach balls when it’s snowing outside!

The beach cookies must be for someone in Florida, since it is practically beach weather year round here!!!
The marshmellows looks delish!
Can’t wait to see pics of your fabulous tree!

I’d rather see snow by you than by me. Is that Lily or a small deer in them thar fields – of course it’s Lily. I’m sure your Christmas tree looks lovely.

I made mallows tonight too. Didn’t realize I was out of vanilla (gasp!) So I used rum extract. We shall see how they turn out. Tasted much like vanilla to me when in the fluff stage. Tomorrow I might make caramel and dip them in it.
Oh I inquired abt Wassail but its both Sat and Sun and I have mtngs all day Sun. But she put me on the list for next year. Let me know what you think- looks cute online. Thanks for the tip.

Oh and..when asked how I found out abt it, I said from you. And then talked up ADE. So if some random but nice lady from Woodstock’s Chamber of Com comes banging on your door for sweet treats…

Congrats! I wish all those cupcakes were coming to my house instead though!
Festivus is one of my family’s favorite holidays as well! We have our traditional Festivus party the 23rd.
