Ho Ho Holidays 2012!



It’s that time of year again!  The holiday season is in full swing here at Dessert Works and we are readying all of your seasonal favorites for you and your loved ones to enjoy this year.  We have many of our favorites rolling out already, and by the end of the week we will have our full Holiday menu available for order.  We are recommending having all holiday orders placed by December 19th to guarantee availability.    Some of our treats, such as the Gingerbread house kits and Gingerbread men kits, are only here while they last, so it’s better to order now then to be left out in the cold.


            Also, this year, not only do we have our cookie platters and Christmas themed sugar cookies, but we are also offering hand decorated Hanukkah cookies.  There will only be a small number of these cookies made, so again, be sure to get your orders in!
