 Impromptu paper folding demo!

 Carmen is having as much fun showing the folded paper as those learning!

 Star shaped Vanilla Saffron Shortbreads! Yeah! I got to use the Biscuit bar finally! This is one of our new cookie cutters!

 

During our official inaugural biscuit bar demo a young man, age 9 was so kind to help with the cookie cutting process, and conveniently his t-shirt sported a picture of butter (yes butter) which was terribly fitting for the moment! Thank you young man for your help! Your cookies came out great!
