Sweet Success!

As you may know yesterday was our Edible Gift Workshop and it was a sweet success! We made orange marmalade, jam filled thumbprint cookies, truffles, coconut macaroons and freshly popped popcorn with caramel and chocolate. Heavenly! Now the studens have some great ideas on gifts to prepare for coworkers, family/friends and for whoever has an appreciation for sweets.

If you missed this class, be sure to sign up for our newsletter so you can be a part of the various classes A Pinch of Salt is offering.

Happy Cooking!
