When I first saw these little treats I thought they were kind of boring looking! But after making them once they became a family favorite. This treat comes with lots of large portions great for a large family like ours! They’re a sweet tooth satisfier in my book!
Meet Collette
For the past few years Collette has been studying and working hard to learn all that she can about exterior and interior design along with the ins in outs of gardening and breeding different varieties of flowers and producing a good crop of flowers and vegetables. Her desire is make her profession in the floral department. With her little Bashan poodle Rocky and cat Auggie (who have made it into many of her photos somehow) by her side Collette continues to do what she loves most. Make things beautiful.

With my new expanded garden I have so much more flowers and I was struggling to find ways to use them. I researched different ways to use them and one of them was pressing and drying the flowers. So I started learning how to do this. I found that there were so many methods. Silica gel, hang drying, machine pressers, book pressing, so which one works best?
