Making Sweet Memories!

Thanks to the Genschal Family for sharing the video of their family Gingerbread House day! What a sweet way to make memories! Their video captures the day from the beginning assembly to the finished product. Your house looks great!

Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen

and Rudolph of course!  Marshmallows make great reindeer.  All you need is large marshmallows, pretzel sticks, mini pretzels, icing, and m&m's.  Simply break your mini pretzels into antlers and stick into the top of a large marshmallow.  Add pretzel sticks for legs, and use a dab of icing to adhere your nose (m&m).  You could always add eyes using mini m&m's or mini chocolate chips.  Have fun making Christmas memories and let your imaginations run wild! 

Food Allergies?

Candy Cottage is a great way for children with food allergies to share in the holiday fun! Traditional gingerbread houses can present problems for those with allergies to eggs, gluten, wheat, or a number of other items. With the Candy Cottage, you can create a safe environment for a child to make wonderful Christmas memories!

It's Beginning to Look...

Yea, I know, it is not Christmas yet, but I am beginning to see the decorations, the lights, the trees... I am thankful for my family, and can't wait to celebrate on Thursday.  I do love, however, the whole month of December!

The Candy Cottage Decorating Party

A few months ago, as part of the debut of the new Candy Cottage, a few of our best friends gathered for a unique event.  It was an evening of fun, food and Candy Cottage decorating.  It was so much fun to see how creative our friends (ordinary moms) became when it came time to get down to decorating.  We witnessed The Candy Cottage transform into Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Valentine's Day, A Beach Cottage, A Birthday Cottage, A Crab Shack, and Everyday Cottages.  Below are some of the photos of the creations from The Candy Cottage Decorating Party!  We hope you find these photos inspirational when decorating your Candy Cottage!  Don't forget The Candy Cottage can be used over and over so your creations can be endless!

Christmas In the Air

Red M& M's and red licorice make a great roof
