I would agree that wine gums are less elastic and chewy/rubbery than gummies. Tough comes to mind.

If everyone interested could send me their contact information by PM - name, e-mail, address, cell number - that would be very helpful as we continue planning.

We are no where near that point! We figure out totals and divide by people coming.

Shall we double post in ‘never again…’?

Welcome @AmyCaaaaakes. Here's a link to the index to a lot of pastry and chocolate topics you might want to explore - index

I think all the packages are automatically enrolled for signature required even if you choose otherwise.

I want to know what I'm paying before I make a decision. Seems like one of those 'if you have to ask - you can't afford it' ideas to try to shame you into not asking the price. I've been in a shitload of high end chocolate shops - prices are clearly marked.

But occasional fingers!

Exactly the thought I had. So Elsie may be the only lucky one because I got the round pan for Anna.

We will have to see if we can find our hard candy guru

@Alleguede and B were here last night - 60 panettone finish tomorrow- then that’s it for the season! I know @ElsieD has ordered hers…

Not in my opinion. See how it tempers

What's to debate - of course you should!

Down visiting @patris this weekend - for breakfast this morning she made cabbage and onion pancakes with cottage cheese and dill Please note - a black plastic spatula was used - and we are still alive! A lemony, dilly yogurt sauce accompanied these.

First 2 pics - @patris's dipping which she claims wasn't beautiful! Second 2 - my dipping which is put to shame by her dipping! The last pic is some gluten free crackers from Trader Joes dipped for my friend who is eating low fodmap. @patris didn't care for the crackers as is (in either their gluten filled or gluten free form) - but finds them tolerable dipped in chocolate.

the gingerbread cookie ganache

Down for the weekend visiting @patris. We visited a place we haven't been for a lot of years. Veggie pita for @patris Added a mushroom, artichoke heart and caramelized onion 7incher for me - way to much food! Tomato basil soup - asiago cheese, crunchy croutons - just as good as ever.

Not really a Santa's workshop this year - but I took the opportunity to pop down to visit with @patris this weekend and she is working on some items to give away at work this week - so I'm up for helping. The reveal will come later after these are unmolded - but it's a 'gingerbread cookie' ganache - doesn't contain any cookies with the flavour is spot on. There will be Twix bars later. Neglected to get a picture when made - but this is Trader Joes ginger thins and orange bark. And this is the peppermint bark that @patris made earlier this week. Peanut butter and feullitine meltways

Almost same recipe I got from my mother except only 1 tsp baking powder and 1 tbsp of vinegar. I think it was the one published on the lard box. I make up to 3/4 cup with ice water. I add some everclear to make it easier to handle - it disappears in the baking.
