I attempted the candy cane sugar cookie last night and I'm sad to report that they did not hold their shape like yours did. Is it the recipe? or is there a trick to making it cook without spreading?

Correct Anonymous: The indentation is in the candy and you rub the foil down inot it for it to show.

On your little personalized candies….it looks like the foil wrap has the name on it too….Did you just rub the foil across the molded chocolate or how did you get it to show?

Thanks.

Wow, my hat's off to you! I'm guessing everyone (who gets one) looks forward to your baskets each year.

Way to go, girl!

Thanks all!

Ann: I kept the decorated cookies in air tight containers for 2 weeks or so and they were fine.

Dai: I have to tell you I overdid it this year. There were many many late nights and lack of sleep and I am paying ti for it now! LOL

Stacie: taste does depend upon brand. The best tasting are Fondarific and ChocoPan. The next is Massa Grunicha (sp?). Those 3 can be pricey. The next best, IMO is Satin Ice and then Pettinice. Wilton is just yuck. You can make your own from scratch or add candy clay to any fondant to help the taste. HTH!

Hi! I came to your blog from TasteSpotting. You are amazing!! I see you used quite a bit of fondant. I’ve never had much luck with it b/c it tastes so bad. Any suggestions? Do you flavor it?

Those are awesome!!

How many of those did you make - and WHERE ON EARTH do you find the time?! Seriously?! I have 2 kids & work part-time as a Wilton Instructor and I barely have time for anything. I'd show you what I made for Christmas - BUT I HAVEN'T MADE ANYTHING YET! Sad, I know! Hopefully tonight and/or tomorrow I will be baking my buns off, LOL

Happy Holidays to you!
