Hello, 2013!

Happy 2013, world!

I'm a little late, but I'm giving myself the excuse that we're still in the single-digit calendar dates part of January, so it still counts.

A lovely way to start the new year...

... creating 2013 cake pops to add some zing to someone's new year party!

In all honesty, I was catching a breath after all the Christmas baking (wrinkled fingers and varicose veins, happy times!), and trying to clear a path around the place to make getting around less of a hope-skip-jump exercise. 

A lot faster too, when you need to get to the loo in a hurry.

Like I was saying in my Lunar New Year post, the new year aian't done with us yet. We're welcoming the Year of the Snake in just a month.

Start stocking up the Lunar cheer:
> Dong Dong Chiang
> How to share a good pineapple tart

So while you're saving up those crisp any pow dollars, and frantically penning those new year resolutions (like I am), I'd like to take the opportunity to holler all my love, blessings and peace to everyone as we get ready to take on another brand new year.

And in the good cheer of the Lunar New Year, I'll be putting up a couple of blog entries on all things red, look out for those soon! 

In the meantime, some scarlet to start off:
> There's never too much red around with Elmo
> Poppin' red cherries, even the jackpot ones
> Baked with love

Smile everyone, let's make it a good year.

Year of the Snake, don't let it be a party without cake!

Wakey... hope you've gotten the last of the new year hangover outta your system, and can now change resolution from 'aspirin' to 'i can walk straight'.

Breathe... cuz new year's aian't done with us yet - it's the lunar new year in just a month!

We've cooked up some CNY pops that give a fun twist to the traditions of orange-giving and auspicious cheer - check out the mailer above (click on mailer image for clearer reading in pop up).

For something red and less traditional for the new year, perhaps Elmo's the answer...

And if you're wondering what in the world cake pops are, here's my attempt at explaining these little things that bring the happy snappy when you look at them (and even when you eat them!).

Pops can be collected between Jan 9 - 24, do pass the mailer on to friends and family looking for a little something special this new year.

To a brilliant start to the year of the Snake, don't let it be a party without cake!

Sleigh bells are ringin, your Christmas desserts a-callin'!

Hi Petite Popp-ers & friends,

We're almost on to Christmas, it's just barely 3 weeks away - where did all that time go?!

Everyone is already feeling the festive-in-our-bones, and we do wanna help get your Christmas shopping on the way. We have something new, something homey, something decadent, something classic... something for every sorta taste. Almost anyways ;)

Have a look at the Petite Pops Christmas Bake List above, share it with friends and family who are looking for a little something special for Christmas this year.
