Best of Etsy ~ LittleSnowflakes

06 August 2009

I am beyond impressed with LittleSnowflakes. This great little Etsy shop offers cakes, cookies, candies, and more. Everything looks absolutely delightful. The pictures on the site are beautiful, the descriptions are mouth watering, and the shipping prices are quite reasonable considering these are perishable items.

I can say first hand that the pumpkin fudge is scrumptious! It would make a sensational gift during the upcoming holiday season. I am seriously thinking of ordering some around Thanksgiving to serve my guests. It is not all sugar with no flavor, like many fudges I've tasted. This is smooth, creamy, and has an lovely pumpkin pie flavor to it. I am a huge pumpkin fan, so this yummy fudge was a hit with me!

There is something in the shop for everyone. My neighbor Lynette and I are both trying to lose some weight, so the black bean brownies would be perfect for us. Each brownie has only 3 WW points. You get two dozen in an order, so that's 24 yummy servings at only 3 points each. Sounds like a not so naughty way to indulge a bit.


She also offers Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough truffles. Do I even have to explain why I think they sound amazing? Seriously, go look at the picture and tell me you don't want these things. They would totally blow all my dieting plans!

LittleSnowflakes offers quite a few muffins, Love Notes fortune cookies (these would make a fantastic gift!), and brownies. Dan is dying to order the Chipotle Brownies. I really urge you to check out this wonderful Etsy shop. Order her treats as gifts. Order them because you need a yummy, indulgent, snack. Order these wonderful creations so you don't have to make a single sweet all holiday season. Or just order some because of how spectacular they look and sound. I promise you will not regret it. At the very least, stop by LittleSnowflakes, browse around, and let them know I sent ya!





**Each Thursday I plan to highlight an Etsy shop that is in my opinion one of the best Etsy has to offer. These are all my own opinions and shops I have discovered myself. None of these folks have came to me wanting a review or advertising. I just want to share some of the sites that in my mind offer some of the coolest products around. I hope you enjoy!**

Fall Food Cravings

24 October 2008

I am having a serious craving today. The idea of a nice, toasted piece of Collin Street Bakery Deluxe Fruitcake just has my mouth watering. I love it buttered, with real butter of course, and popped under the broiler until lightly toasted. It is the perfect partner to a good cup of coffee. But, I'm not picky, I love this fruitcake even cold from the fridge. Or with whipped cream. With a glass of milk. In a box with a fox. Anyway, it's just good! And my love affair with it is strange because I do not enjoy traditional homemade fruitcakes, but I love Collin Street Bakery's. To me they are so much better than what grandma made. If you've never had one I highly suggest you give yourself one for Christmas. You'll be glad you did!

I guess the cooler weather has me craving this. To me it goes with the holiday season that is rapidly approaching. I am craving pumpkin as well. And am oh so eager to fill my house with the wonderful scents of baked goods. Baking during this time of year is one of my favorite things.

What about you, are there certain foods you crave during different seasons? I know Christine of at The Power of Housewife Word of Mouth has a thing for pumpkin pie blizzards. What is your favorite fall food? Your favorite holiday food?

Man, I'm hungry! I want some coffee and cake!
