Valentine’s is just around the corner. Isn’t it the time to remember someone you love with these sweet and delicious cookies or brownies?

If you wish to order something as a Valentine’s gift, please leave a note in the Additional Message in the Order Form. I will pack them in this specially designed Valentine’s gift box for you.

I’ve also “graduated” the Green Tea flavor. It is no longer available. Just to keep it simple. For me, mostly.

So from now on you can buy the cookies in your favorite flavor or the mix of the above three. For the details, see the butter cookies pages here and here.

The boxes are specially designed for Chinese New Year. There is a large Chinese character “春” (spring) cut out of colored paper on the box. It’s a custom to write the character “spring” on places when the new year comes. In Chinese, New Year is also called Spring Festival for the new season often coincides with the new year.

I hope this gift box in bright colors will bring all of you a happy New Year. We can all use some spring weather just about now.

Many friends asked me more than once when I am going to sell Almond Tuiles. It is hard for me to say no, but it takes a lot to make them into products. The process is kind of tiring. This crunchy, nutty cookie is not difficult to make, but it takes a lot of time to bake and requires careful handling.

I finally decided to do this cookie, thinking that maybe I should share this really unforgettable cookie with others. Chinese New Year is coming, this cookie gift box should be a good choice as your gift to your friends.

Luckily I manage to create two products, one is Chinese New Year Special and the other is Valentines Heart-Shape Brownies. Will have more details coming up later.

After the holiday, time to work (bake) again.

I am so happy that I had much better feedback than I was expecting. I feel that even though I was exhausted baking cookies, I have to keep my spirit up and provide better and better baked goods to my customers.

Of course, it is a good time to try new recipes during the holiday. Hopefully we may have some new products coming up on JuJu Bakery.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

People love my brownies when I bring them to gatherings.

I love the blend of sweet pecans and the richness of the chocolate in my Pecan Brownies. They are realy satisfying, especially when you have a cup of coffee with them. The Dark Chocolate Brownies are not that sweet, so you can really taste the deepness of the dark chocolate.

After countless trials, taste tests, looking for packaging, taking catalogue shots, figuring out prices, setting up the web site, my little store is finally here. And it looks like the real thing, doesn’t it?

I have to thank the family for their support. Both hubby’s work on the web site and the kids as taste testers. Lots of advice from all the friends, some of them even taking it upon themselves to be the promoters of my cookies. Thank you all!

This holiday season will definitely be a different one. I am hopeful that it will be a happy and satisfying one.
