These are a busy few weeks for the team as we scramble to get all of our products ready for sale starting this Saturday at the St Luke's Christmas Market.  We have constructed and decorated and wrapped many gingerbread churches hoping to reach last year's total of about 150.  Each one is unique and attractive with some of the decorators getting a little competitive!  Actually, I think they get better every year.  Cost is $25.

We have stored them in every possible corner of the church hall and have the word of the clergy that they will watch closely over the ones that are stored in their offices!  

Last year we tried out making bark (Bark for El Hogar!) and it was quite successful.  We have made double the amount this year.  They make perfect gifts for the hostess, the mailman, the neighbour and the babysitter.  Only $6 and there are about 6 varieties.  Once again, we are thankful to our friend Kerry, who has her own chocolate business. Her knowledge of how to melt and temper the chocolate at the right temperature and to perfect the bark was invaluable for our product.  Thank you Kerry.  http://www.thechocolatedoctor.ca/
