There are some excellent ideas here that I haven't thought of doing before. You are very brave to attempt the croquembouche!!! Me thinks you are Master Chef inspired. Please please please take photoa
I love your Christmas ideas... some of them we've adopted as a family over the past 2 years.
You're such a fun chick Becs... I might steal a few more of these ideas! (Some of them we do already)... I like the "going around the table" one with the fancy hot chocolate drinks. Hmmm, I think that one will be a definite! xx
Oh my word!!
A friend and I recently attempted this croquembouche in preparation for Christmas B-U-R-N-T the sugar/toffee, that was awful but the tower didn't last long... Good on you!!
Looking forward to those photos!

Love it. Even though I must have commented way back in 2009... I love it still!
You've just prompted me AGAIN about the neighbours. I think we might add that to tomorrow's activities...
