Christmas Candies

Ok, I know it's a little preemptive, but there weren't any Thanksgiving molds.  I started thinking that I wanted to try making some candies on Friday.  Brett's mom makes candies and he loves them, so I thought I would try my hand at it.  Considering that this was my first time doing it, I'm pretty proud of how they turned out.
They were a little bit time consuming, but I had a great time with them!  That detail work is what I'm good at.  I really needed a more precise brush because the one that came with the pack was a cheap plastic one and the bristles wouldn't stay together.  Some more colors would have been nice, but I made do with what I had.
I got all of the equipment from Michael's, and on recommendation from Maria Manitoken I am going to take the cake decorating class there in December or January.  I'm really excited for that because then I'll be able to make Kennedy an awesome cake for her birthday!

PS - Go vote tomorrow!  I am going early tomorrow morning.  If you are in California or are registered there, vote YES on Proposition 8!

Those turned out AWESOME! You did a great job with the details. That is one of my biggest pet peeves, nasty cheap-o brushes.
