My Secret Santa surprised me with an awesome cake decorating kit* that was even better because 1) this is my first Christmas without my grandmother who taught me how to cook/bake (my favorite hobby) and who I normally made Christmas goodies with, 2) it arrived in time for my and my 12 year-old niece’s birthday, so we made cupcakes together and tried out some of the goodies, and 3) I had JUST said a week prior that I needed a new cake turntable, silicone baking cups, and an offset spatula! Thank you so much, maxreyno! You rock and I wish you the happiest of holidays!

*According to Amazon it’s a “KOOTEK 178 Pcs Cake Decorating Kit Supplies with Cake Turntable Numbered Piping Tips E-book Guide Pastry Bags Frosting Spatula Icing Smoother Decoration Pen Cake Paint Brush Silicone Baking Cups” whew, what a mouthful! ;)
