Taking orders now for Christmas 2010

The Sugarplum Fairy is at it again this Christmas. Don't like to bake or just don't have the time? Then let me do it for you!

All orders will be delivered to you frozen by mid-December so you can just pop it in your freezer and pull your goodies out when needed. In order to decrease my environmental impact I will transfer your order to your own containers or deliver them to you in Christmas tins or resuasable Ziploc bags (for a small fee). Please contact me as soon as possible to place your order (613-883-4145 or k.a.reyburn at gmail dot com). The 2010 Price List is below as well as descriptions of each recipe.

Recipe List

Caramel Toffee Squares Will put you in mind of a Twix Bar. A shortbread crust covered in thick caramel and topped with chocolate.

Choco Toffee Snowballs After one taste, it quickly became one of The Sugarplum Fairy’s favourite cookies. This is a classic Christmas cookie that will leave you wishing Christmas came more than once a year.

Chocolate or Butterscotch Confetti Will take you back… straight to the ‘80s! Mini marshmallows covered in melted chocolate or butterscotch chips and peanut butter. A childhood favourite!

Double Brownies If you like traditional chocolate brownies, imagine them swirled with butterscotch and topped with a brown sugar icing.

Gingersnaps Mum’s famous ginger cookies. Wonderful for dunking.

Hello Dollies The Sugarplum Fairy’s most asked for recipe. A buttery graham cracker crust layered with sweetened condensed milk (you already know it will be good!), pecans, chocolate chips and coconut.

Marble Swirls Chocolate and vanilla, the perfect combination. This crisp cookie is a marble cookie perfect to accompany coffee, hot chocolate or nothing at all!

Nanaimo Bars No Canadian dessert tray would be complete without them.

Orange Kisses A shortbread-type cookie, delicately formed into a bite-size round and topped with a dollop of orange-flavoured icing and garnished with orange zest. Sure to be a new Christmas favourite.

Shortbread A traditional family recipe. Our Scottish roots serve us well in this recipe. One (very large) pan contains a full pound of butter. If you’ve been wanting a proper shortbread, you’ve come to the right place.

Back open for business!

Hi everyone! After an almost two-year hiatus, The Sugarplum Fairy is set to bake again.

There will be some changes this year and some new recipes. I plan to have all this information up in the next day or so... so stay tuned!

See you in 2010?

Hi everyone. Thanks for your good wishes regarding my health. It seems fate has dealt me an ironic blow. Things are pointing to me having Celiac Disease which means that, if true, I'll never be able to eat gluten again. Know what that means? Nothing with flour, rye or barley! Not great for a Sugarplum Fairy such as myself.

I'll be getting a diagnosis (I hope) in the next few weeks.

However, our family is moving for 14 months to Waterloo, Ontario and so the business will not be in operation again until Fall 2010.

I do hope that some of you come back and think of ordering from me then. And, in line with my new sympathies for those of the Celiac persuasion, I will be offering a complete line of gluten-free baking. I plan to spend the next year doing research. Lots and lots of research (and taste-testing!).

See you back here in 2010!

Business suspended for the moment

Hi everyone. Due to my own health issues recently, I'm having to suspend the business until further notice. I'll be having tests done shortly I hope that will indicate what is going on with me and lead to me feeling better soon.

Newest photos are up in the sidebar

Andrea did a beautiful job with the photos.... again! The woman has supreme talent with a camera and a great eye for food photography. Some of what she has done is on the sidebar to the left. These are the spring recipes that I'll be offering. A list of prices and combinations will (hopefully!) be up by the end of day tomorrow.
