So a friend and I decided to get together and bake a bunch of goodies to put into Christmas baskets for gifts. Our first day of baking was yesterday and we made LOADS of yummy treats! Fudge, toffee, chocolate orange loaf cake, shortbread cookie dough, but my favorite thing that we made yesterday was white chocolate cake balls...
Look at how stunning these are!! My friend found silver edible glitter and we sprinkled it on top and they look so Christmassy! I am so excited to give away these baskets and see people's faces when they see these gorgeous little treats. We also taste-tested them, you know, to make sure they're not poisonous or anything...
oh.
my.
GOD!! They are yummy!! Of course you risk having glitter on your face or stuck in your teeth but it's a small risk considering how good these things are.
The next time we get together we've got a whole other slew of things to make. Plus, we've got to put the baskets together! I'll be taking more pictures then and hopefully you'll be able to see them all put together.
For now though, you can just stare at these lovely little goodies and drool.

Dear Jess,
I found your details on your blog, I hope you might be able to help me with my strange request!
I am a Producer working on a television show called House Hunters International in New York which follows English speaking expats in their quest to purchase a house abroad. I am hoping to find an English speaking expat to profile who has moved to and bought property in England within the last few years. I wonder if you or anyone you might know might be interested in getting involved?! Please find a little blurb about the show below:
House Hunters International is a half-hour program currently airing on the Home and Garden Television Network (HGTV). The program is a spin-off of the popular House Hunters and has spent the last several seasons exploring the idiosyncrasies of buying real estate in other countries. HHI is about a personal journey of discovery and the making of life-long dreams.
The series is designed to de-mystify the international home-buying process by going behind the scenes of a house hunt where buyers and their real estate agents tour 3 homes. At its core, House Hunters International is a travel show concentrating on the idiosyncrasies of the locales and what makes them special and different. A great deal of effort will be made to capture rich visuals and to provide sequences where viewers will be exposed to local vistas, traditions, lifestyles and architecture.
Please get in touch if you have any more questions about the show. I look forward to hearing from you!
Best wishes and many thanks,
Michelle
