The Following is from Alexis Stewart's Blog:
Today is Kevin Sharkey's bday!! he always gets mildly screwed cause of the date's proximity to xmas...
I got him a giant, xtra fancy decorating book and some of every candy and cookie i made for the holidays (no measly sample box for him!):
and even the delivery packaging has to be nice:
dropped off the doorman gifts at the same time (one day kevin might allow me to live in his building, although I might get to be on a higher floor!)
inside is caramel almond popcorn (using salted peanuts instead) -- here it is cooling and just out of the oven:
you can find the recipe here.
addressed the whole thing to the super to make sure no one "accidentally" takes the wrong bag (or two):
cookies:
thumbprint made with a batch of white peach pate de fruits that didn't gel
beginning of the chestnut cream filled cookies:
and all the candy! ugh! up all night packing it:
coconut marshmallows in the making (the recipes can be found on my nov 28th blog):
making the peanut butter cups (I altered the recipe by tempering the chocolate...)
looks like a mess here with the peppermint patties, but they turned out really well
packing up:
there is also some almond toffee by the marshmallows
jpacking up the pate de fruits (still only halfway done):
almost done (although half of the stuff is in the other room)
btw -- a great and really cheap "ribbon" to use is seam binding -- it comes in great colors -- i used it on all the small rectangular boxes you can get it here.
