Hello everyone!  I'm sure that all of you are getting very excited about the holidays.  I, for one, am very happy that they are winding down.  Lindsay and I have been working our buns off trying to get all of our orders filled on time and we just finished.  We actually baked over 7,500 cookies in a week and a half.  Believe it or not, most of them went for two big orders.  The first was 1,500 decorated sugar cookies for two performances of the Nutcracker and the other large order came from a wonderful  customer who orders 17 trays of assorted Italian and traditional holiday cookies every year.  Thank you so much for your continuted business.  We love our clients!

We also have had a substantial amount of  baking for multiple holiday parties through our friends at Struck Catering, as well as desserts for our regular clients.

I didn't post last week because I was holding onto a wonderful secret from my "future son-in-law", John.  That's right; John proposed to my beautiful daughter, Christina last Friday evening and it was a wonderful surprise for her.  We went to New York City last weekend to celebrate with John and Christina, John's family and their friends.  I was afraid that if I posted anything I might have slipped and ruined the surprise.

New Year's Eve is fast approaching and we have a beautiful  wedding that evening at Cranwell Resort, Spa and Golf Club in Lenox, Massachusetts.  Our couple is having a gorgeous wedding cake with about 600 sugar flowers on it, similar to the one in my previous post, except smaller and with all shades of white, cream and ivory.

Don't forget that we will be hosting our annual winter tasting event on Saturday, January 21st at Tuckerman Hall in Worcester.  We are looking forward to a great turnout this year.

I want to wish each and every one of you a very Happy Holiday season!

Michelle
