Sweet Paul Magazine Features Sucre Shop Spoons

I am a long time fan of Sweet Paul Magazine. The editor, Paul, has got a food background and loves things funky and fun. Which is why I am completely honored to be included in this year's holiday edition!

Wooden Utensil Gift Tags

I've decided what my neighbors will be getting for their holiday gifts - home made hot cocoa mix with Ghiradelli chocolate! I found a great recipe (I tried it, it's foodie approved)which I mixed up in just a few minutes, and scooped into half pint mason jars. But can I really be done without attaching the perfect gift tag? Nahh!

Spoons! I drilled holes into them halfway down the handle so they'll hang nicely on the jar. I did think about using larger jars, but the nice thing about using spoons here is that they are functional. You'll actually use the spoon to scoop out the mix all the way down to the bottom of the jar. So if the jar was larger, the spoon wouldn't reach to the bottom.

I love the spoon as a gift tag, the hot cocoa mix looks so festive!



I figure 5 spoonfuls of mix added to hot water will do the trick and I'll probably make up some kind of gift card to go with my gifts with instructions inside.

Right now I have three different designs on these tags - look for them soon in my Etsy store. Also, I have plain tags in there without decoration. You can write your own message on them for a more handmade personal touch!

I used this recipe for my hot cocoa mix, a la food genius Alton Brown.

I've got some plans in the works for other jar gifts. Stay tuned!

Cupcake Project!

If you haven't been reading Cupcake Project, there's no better time to start. The author is the authority on cupcakes! (And she's super sweet too.) It turns out she has a thing not only for cupcakes, but ice cream too!

Brooklyn Farmacy Scoops Up Spoons!

I have the coolest customers! I would like to go to the Brooklyn Farmacy all the time. Egg creams and counter seats, live music, local vendors and a grocery store all fit inside. And guess what they'll be carrying in their grocery store this holiday season? Wooden Ice Cream spoons! How fitting!

Shop Sweet Lulu Will Carry Sucre Shop Utensils

I am doing the happy dance over here ... I am over the moon that Shop Sweet Lulu will be carrying Sucre Shop wooden utensils! This is a beautiful shop with such fun party supplies; they are full of 36" balloons and straws striped and dotted in every color, and milk jugs... just because! Hope you'll visit them soon and often.
