Sunburst and Snowblind by FIRE and ICING Cakes, Cookies, Confections

The ground was covered in white, fluffy snow after a cataclysm of electrical activity raced across the night sky. Post storm, I ran outside and looked up to see a calm, pitch black sky and the beginning of twinkling lights that began to multiply by the thousands across the vast, black platform above me.

 

I saw them shoot straight down to the earth below and land in a pile of snow not twenty feet from where I stood. I stared with mesmerized delight as that snowy pile began to illuminate brilliantly before my eyes with multiple, glowing colors. I sifted through that soft, billowy pile and picked up what looked like radiant stars. They weren't stars at all; they were Electric Snow, each flake filled with luminescent colors of the sun and blinding colors of the rainbow.

 

They said it came only once in a lifetime, and that very few ever witnessed it. They said if you tasted it, you would understand what sunbursts and winter rainbows tasted like. They were right.

 

May your holidays be filled with magic, and may your winters be Sunburst and Snowblind.

 

Happy Holidays from the gingerbread-filled kitchens of FIRE and ICING.
