Visions of Sugarplums Tree For My Kitchen

Visions of sugarplums are dancing all

over my kitchen!

I usually like to make my kitchen a place

for the little ones to enjoy during the

Christmas season.  They want to touch

everything so on this table I usually have

a display for them to touch.

This year I created a whole new tree.  I have

wanted a tree in the kitchen for some time with

gingerbread boys and girls,

cupcake and candy

ornaments.

Last year I had wanted a

 pink tree

 but by the time I got around

to it they were all sold.

This year I grabbed one as soon as I

saw it and began 

gathering sugarplums

to fill it with.

A pink confection of a tree

 turned out to be the perfect

pick for my Sugarplum Tree.

Two cute nutcrackers, one a baker holding 

a gingerbread house with little wooden tools

in his apron and the other with curly toed polka

dot boots and a cupcake for a hat have been

busy baking up all of our confections for the

Sugarplum Tree.

Nutcrackers hold a special magic 

for little children and these two

fill little ones with wonder.

His cupcake hat is almost edible with the

cherries on top.

Fluffy ice cream cones and green and

pink polka dot ribbon,

Gingerbread cookies with cutters,

Giant lollipops

Enormous sparkly cupcakes

and wrapped candies all create

a mouthwatering treat for the eyes.

One of Santa's elves is still decorating 

this wonderful 

Hershey Gingerbread house.

(No this one isn't edible either but it

sure looks like you could take a bite out of it.)

One more Hershey's Kiss to unwrap

and place on the roof.

See the Hershey Bar for the door.  

This little imitation sugar cone tree is

the perfect addition.

One more tree, a hard candy ribbon tree

sits on the other side of the house.

Cupcakes of all kinds fill the tree.

Here's one more of Santa's elves, holding a

freshly baked gingerbread girl

complete with baking pan.

And of course they use a sparkling red

Kitchenaid to do all of their holiday baking.

(I am sure they would have used a purple one 

like mine if they could have found one!)

Truly a delight for the

  child in all of us.
