Joyful, All Ye Pastries Rise


Article from Daily Candy Some say a holiday without Christmas fruit cake or Hanukkah jelly donuts is a holiday not worth having.

But only because they’ve yet to sample treats from Bake Sale, a new project from adorably coy Nick Hosea (of cult catering biz Bite).

These are sophisticated desserts gaily decked in holiday trim (nuts, berries, bark). Think caramel apple dumplings with chipotle cheddar crust; blond parsnip cake with cream cheese frosting and crystallized basil; mallomars with cocoa macarons, ancho caramel ganache, and dark chocolate glaze.

Toasted couscous fleur de sel chocolate bars and jalapeno butter caramels will cause squeals of delight. As will brunch options like huckleberry and crème fraiche cake with pecan crumble or toasted almond muffins with cider-poached quince.

Hosea’s taking orders by phone and online, 48 hours in advance of delivery.
Hark, the herald angels sing.

Make it a Happy Green New Year!

Hello! It's me, Beauty Swirl Girl! Don't worry I did not forget you, how could I, specially during these festive holidays.

This holiday as you check off your gift lists for your loved ones, think GREEN. At the Reusable Bags site they carry plenty eco-friendly reusable items ranging from the popular string bag for those weekend visits to the fresh farmer's market, lunch bags for both kids and adults, and safe water bottles made from materials like Aluminum and Stainless Steel.

Visit the site I think you'll be surprise of the array of items they carry.
