for a very trusting patron of mine, i made a chocolate covered croque en bouche, or, a tower of cream puffs, filled with pastry cream and then glue together with caramel. i decorated it with white chocolate and little gum paste bows and included some extra ornaments so that her children could finish dressing the little tree at their christmas party.
this year featured many handmade gifts. i am never quite sure how handmade gifts will fly with the recipient, so i tried to keep it simple with some basic totes with patchwork on the front. this one went to my mother in law, who, after a long year, really deserved a special little something. a couple didn't quite make the christmas deadline, but i hope to have them shipped out to my wonderfully patient family members soon.
