Not Just Baked Goods!

So far, we've shared a few of our favorite festive recipes to cook up. But the fun doesn't stop there! We like to make other confectionary treats, like chocolates! Each Easter, we put together personalized baskets for our family and friends, but we think baskets make for great gifts anytime of the year! We've also done Mother's Day baskets and Birthday baskets! Each one is tailored to the giftee and whatever holiday/occasion the basket is being given for!

In addition to the sugar rush in a basket, we added little gifts for each giftee depending on their age and what they enjoyed. The gifts ranged from Easter themed stickers to nail polish and even to mini bottles of Godiva Chocolate Liquer in the adult Easter basket!
