Polar Bear Cookies decorated with Modeling Chocolate
These polar bear cookies are so darn cute. Each has a 3 dimensional polar bear floating on it’s back in a cookie ocean with it’s big fluffy paws and head sticking up out of the modeling chocolate water. Walking through the Columbus Zoo’s winter wonderland is always a magical experience for me. One of my…

Twelve days of sweet designs, day 12 – Cheery Christmas Lights
It’s hard to believe that Christmas is less than a week away. If you are anything like me, you still have more shopping, decorating, baking, and cooking to do before the big day. I hope some of you have had time to re-create some of my modeling chocolate designs and will send me pictures of…
Twelve days of sweet designs, day 11 – Christmas Ornaments
Our Christmas tree was put up over the weekend (yes, we do have an artificial tree) but I just didn’t have time to decorate it. So, for days, the tree sat sadly in the corner unadorned. Last night around 10:00, although tired from a busy day in the kitchen, I brought the bins of ornaments…
Twelve days of sweet designs, day 10 – Christmas Caroler Candy Bar
Someone asked me the other day if I’d seen any Christmas Carolers this year. Nope, not this year or for the past many years. I did, however, get serenaded by a young girl singing the “Twelve Days of Christmas” while we walked through Woodland Lights the other night at our local park. It was…
Twelve days of sweet designs, day 9 – Mrs. Claus Truffle Pops
Yesterday, I spent four hours bagging up candy to give to a local kid’s charity and had the opportunity while doing it to watch a couple of Christmas movies. It was such a nice break from all of the hubbub of the season. My favorite movie featured Mrs. Claus trying to find Christmas spirit among…
Twelve days of sweet designs, day 8 – Toy Soldier Lollipops
As I typed the title for this post, I realized I should not have used the word “day,” but instead just numbered the designs, as I’ve been quite slow at getting these posts written. Sorry! Coming up with twelve unique designs that could start out as an egg was challenging, to say the least. I’ll be…
Twelve days of sweet designs, day 7 – Snowman on Chocolate Covered Marshmallows
Tis the season to be busy. My kitchen has seen so much action this week. It’s usually a pretty busy place, but the past few days have been exceptionally crazy as I made chocolate for customers, prepared desserts for a holiday party that I attended on Thursday, and baked over 20 dozen cookies with my sister yesterday. So needless…
Twelve days of sweet designs, day 6 – Elves on chocolate caramel pops
So, I’m midway through this holiday series. Which is your favorite design so far? These elves top my list. I know this design has more little pieces to cut out than most of the others, but I just love these little guys and think they are worth the effort. For those of you visiting for the first time and for those that…
Twelve days of sweet designs, day 5 – Santa Claus Cookie Pops
What would my series be without a Santa Claus sweet? I have fond memories of baking and decorating Santa Claus cookies when I was a kid, so I thought it most appropriate to use this modeling chocolate design to top a cookie, and decided to turn that cookie into a lollipop. For those of you visiting…
