Paper Christmas Tree Tower for Treats | SVGCuts

Happy Holidays to all my Crafty Friends! Today I'm excited to share with you the cutest Christmas Tree Treat Stand!

The perfect centerpiece to display all your Christmas goodies. For specific instructions on how to put this together, you'll want to check out my latest SVG Cuts Guest Post... "Christmas Tree of Treats"

This project comes together fairly quickly. Simple, elegant, and my favorite USEFUL! Need to store some extra treats? No problem, the base of the tree is the perfect place to hide all those extra treats!

Functional and Fun! 

The top of the tree is adorned with a bright star that lights up with a flick of a switch. The tea light just pokes through the center of the star to add a little twinkle!

Use some fun papers and colors to coordinate your treat stand with the rest of your table and party decor.

Heart Shaped Macaroons and Recipe for Valentines Day

Are you all in a Valentine's mood yet? I sure am... I got hearts in my mind! 

The last time I made macaroons I was so excited that they actually turned out, that I just had to try making them again... this time since Valentine's Day is around the corner I thought I would make them in the shape of a heart. 

Aren't they adorable? To make the heart, I just piped them out in a "V" shape.

Seriously could they be any cuter? This time I used a chocolate ganache filling.... sooooo yummy! 

Here is the recipe I used:

4 large egg whites (or 5 small – 140g (4.94 ounces))

1/3 cup caster sugar (70g (2.47 ounces))

1 1/2 cups icing sugar (230g (8.11 ounces))

1 cup almond meal (120g (4.23 ounces))

2g (0.07 ounces) salt (tiny pinch)

gel food coloring (optional)
