I'm through with Festival for another year. I really enjoy helping out with the Festival of Trees since it's such a noble and good cause....all profits go to the Primary Children's Medical Center. It really is a huge event where so many help and contribute. I like working with my cute friend Heather. When she asked me to be on her committee I just couldn't tell her no. I'm glad I have this opportunity and I love seeing Heather!
This year for my treats that I donate for the Sweet Shoppe I made Pumpkin Brownies. They were so easy and I liked the way I wrapped and presented them. I think I might do them again next year. To make them you use a brownie mix and add a 10 oz can of pumpkin. Mix together and cook at 350 for 30 minutes in a cake pan. Ta Da that's it! I made cream cheese frosting and put a little dab on top of each piece using my cake decorator. To make it I used 4 oz of butter and 4 oz of cream cheese (both softened) and 1 tsp vanilla and about 2 cups powdered sugar. Simple Simon....I like simple. I took a plate down to share with the other volunteers I was working with and they were a hit. (the frosting adds a lot)
I guess I will continue helping with Festival of Trees as long as Heather is over a Committee ... if things change for her they just might change for me too. However, I believe after helping the last few years that I would still volunteer for a day. I Feel Good!
