Read While Hungry


Christmas is coming. You knew that. Some of my friends have received one of my super-delicious-made-with-love-but-more-importantly-awesome-ingredients-apples as Christmas gifts in the past. Don't you think everyone you know should receive one this year, or at least the people you like? Caramel, chocolate, roasted almonds... aaaw, yeah.

Yeah, I have officially lost my mind. As if I don't have enough to do, I am going to attempt selling apples this year. As in, taking orders and staying up all night covered in almond dust and cellophane bags. There's a reason not everyone I know gets an apple every year. They take some serious time and effort to make!

Why are you doing this, Wendy? Um, Christmas is coming. My kids might want a few things. I'm poor. That's right, I said it. P-O-O-R. I'm not crafty. I make food. That's one thing I'm fairly good at. So if you have co-workers, teachers, neighbours, etc, that you need to bless with a unique Christmas gift, or if you just need to kiss up to somebody, help a craft-impaired girl out. I realize a sales pitch on a blog is super lame, but whatever, it's my blog.

Here's the nitty gritty:
*Apples are $7.50 each, or $6.00 each if you order three or more.
*They come in individual cellophane bags, tied with pretty ribbon, which you are free to change if you hate what I pick.
*You can choose milk or dark chocolate (I use good chocolate, no cheap waxy stuff here)
*They last a good 7-10 days in the fridge uncut.
*I need at least 3 days' notice if you need them for a certain date, especially for larger quantities, ie, more than 8.
*I can't ship them as they require refrigeration.

So there you go. Fancy Schmancy Apples. Made by me. Yum.
