Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year, besides fall. Every year, I make a hot cocoa bar for my family and get a lot of compliments on it.

It comes with hot cocoa packets, candy cane sticks, sprinkles, marshmallows, chocolate sauce, M&Ms, assorted cookies, chocolates, and a large custom cookie!

I have made some amazing cakes with toppers/cake decorations from Amazon! Here is a cake I made for my brother's 40th birthday.
