My daughter has been hard at work making everything for Christmas this year. She was most excited when we received a basket of baking supplies from Safeway. There were all kinds of mixes, decorations, even a fun decorating and fondant package. She asked me to stay out of the kitchen and let her make everything for our neighbors and her teachers. I had every intention of posting great photos of her creations – given how easy it all would be with the basics to make it simple. But, an hour after letting her have full rein in the kitchen – the smoke cloud billowing out that smelled up the house for days – I jumped in. It really  just gave her reason to eat all the frosting, sprinkles and fondant without any kind of cool photo to post. Maybe next time mom will help! But the good news is that I have one of these baskets to give away!
