Just a quick post to show you all the goodies I brought in to share with my colleagues....the high school is so very drab, it seems, that even the Valentine's Day tablecloth does not do too much to brighten things up. I made 120 cupcakes, a lemon cake with raspberry filling, white chocolate popcorn, lime bars, mini carrot cakes with cream cheese frosting, and brought in candies and GIANT marshmallows which were a huge hit. I also made old-fashioned 7 layer cookies with graham crackers, white chocolate, butterscotch, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, walnuts, coconut and drizzled with sweetened condensed milk....very ooey-gooey and popular with all! They were all very appreciative...and I felt the love!!
They were a wonderful bunch of people to work with and it was very difficult leaving them....but I have a passion that is outside of the classroom and I need to focus on making that come to fruition.

ReplyDeleteHow hard you worked! I remember very well how we teachers appreciated unexpected homemade treats. These are amazing!
ReplyDeleteKeep us up-to-date on the treatment/progress of the friend for whom you are subbing for at school.
What a beautiful dessert table you created, Joann! What a lucky staff!!! You should think about doing a recipe book! I remember seeing floral vans pulling up at a local girls' high school on Valentine's Day...quite the parade of arrangements : ) I don't think much was accomplished in the classes that day! Ha! Thank you for sharing all the things you do!! Hugs, Sherry xx (Pic of mtns...stunning!!!)
