As I said in the previous post, I don't bake often. But man, I package well. This week has been filled with baking and frosting and all sorts of things I don't have a lot of confidence in doing, so to put it all together in a beautiful package that is ready to go was such a treat for me this morning!
First, I put the 'sturdy' (ie: not as crumbly) cookies on the bottom. These are chocolate fudge crackle cookies (think brownies... addictive!), perfectly baked sugar cookies (boy was I proud of these!), and little gingerbread snowflakes with royal icing. In the center is a mix of Belgian chocolates that I bought to fill in the gaps.
The second layer is alternating between cinnamon roll cookies (so good!) and chocolate chip, with a bunch of chocolate truffles tucked in, and in the center, a treat cup of chocolate covered shortcake Christmas trees.
I placed all of this inside a beautiful red gift tin from Micheal's (I looked at the used ones but thought that if I didn't know what came in them or what they had been used for, sending food in them just wasn't safe). Then I hot glued a beautiful ribbon across the top of the tin, and placed a tiny picture frame with "Merry Christmas from the (almost) half-dozen Roses" in the frame to top it off.
I think they make pretty good gifts, don't you?
