hats
A sweet success of a day.
Happy to report that our Drift show in Halifax was a super success, largely in part to the plethora of cookies. It was really fun spending the day with some talented and fun ladies and force feeding our customers homemade goodies. I baked these Rugelach, which if I may say so myself were quite the…
