Sweet Treats Exchange - 2012
Hi all! I would like to coordinate a sweet treat exchange. I did search for threads of this nature already, and I saw that there was a holiday cookie exchange last year. I don't want to encroach on that one, and this one is a little different, so I'm prepared that we may not get a lot of responses if people would rather continue with the other one. In any case, I'll put it out there and see what we get! :)
Here's how it works: 1. Each participant agrees to send 1/2 dozen (6) cookies or other sweet treats to 3 other people, for a total of 1 1/2 dozen (18). 2. Each participant will send me their mailing address which will go on a master list. Once the list is closed, I will split the list into groups of 4 and email each person their group list. Each person will mail their cookies/sweet treats to each of the other 3 people on their list, between December 1st - 31st, so everyone will receive 1 1/2 dozen cookies/sweet treats. It's that simple :) So... if you're interested, please email me at queenofsmirks@msn.com: 1. Your name and mailing address. 2. The cookie or sweet treat you intend on making. This doesn't need to be set in concrete - if you change your mind later, it's not a big deal :) 3. If you live in the U.S., please state whether or not you are willing to ship outside of the U.S. I will be compiling the master list through November 20th, and will distribute it by November 30th. Let me know if you have any questions :) |
Shipping costs from Canada are too much for me :(
I want cookies !!! |

Can't you make something with Marshmallows? Then it won't cost much at all *grin* I'm kidding. But, really, no worries... I'm going to hook you up! :) |

I'm interested also. I do love to bake this time of year. I'd like to know what all people are making for goodies so I can balance it out with something not SO similar. Teddy has made a planner out of me!! :tea: <<<< for the goodies!
|
In case my original post was too confusing about this... I wanted to clarify...
Each participant will send 6 cookies/treats to Person A, Person B, and Person C on their list. So, in total, each person will send 18 cookies, split between 3 recipients. Of course, if you want to send more, you can! I'm not going to penalize anyone LOL |

Im in! I will be sending either carrot cake or red velvet cupcakes, possibly muffins! Don't worry, I have the little tins to mail them in. They have cream cheese icing and are really yummy!!!
Question: Lets say I get my 3 people, do I send an email asking if they like cupcakes or my muffins? How does this work? I am also willing to send to more than 3! |
Quote:
We are officially a "go!". Hopefully we'll get more participants to join. Please everyone, remember to email me at queenofsmirks@msn.com with your name and shipping address. Thanks! |
I want to do this, but right now my brain won't untwist the directions....lol
So....we sign up and then QueenofSmirks assigns each of us, 3 people to send sweets too?? I'm having trouble figuring out how we know who we're sending to and how we're gonna make sure everyone gets sent to. But then again, I've only had one cup of coffee and I took tylenol pm cause my head's hurting. That could explain my confusion. :seeingstars: julie<-----who really wants in on this. |
I'll bake some cookies so add me on to the list.
|
-peeks-
Gonna add my name and stuff... Gotta think of what I'll send.... I know merengue cookies are in there somewhere.. maybe coconut based cookies too..hmmm I have to get the exact zip code, though.. So I'll be sendin' my address after I get outta the hospital... promise. |

1. Please email me at queenofsmirks@msn.com by November 20: -include your name and mailing address. -include the type of cookie/sweet treat you'll be making -state whether or not you are willing to ship outside the U.S. Nobody will have more than 1 non-US address on their list, if any. 2. You will receive a list from me by November 30th which will include your name and 3 other names with mailing addresses. This is your "group". 3. Send 6 cookies/treats to each person in your group between Dec. 1 and Dec. 30. Let me know if you have any questions :) |

I so wish I had a real working kitchen to bake in...if this works out, I'm hoping next year you'll do it, too. I should be in a new place by then.
Happy upcoming holidays to all of you happy bakers. |
Quote:
Ok!! I'm in!!! I'll e-mail you my stuffs. But I don't know what I'm baking yet so that will come later. YIPPEEE!!!! |
Quote:
You can always make something "no bake". I know of several "no bake" cookie recipes :) |
I am in!!! I will email you this evening/tomorrow. I am not sure yet what I will bake though. Probably M & M cookies.
Question: If anyone has an allergy is it ok to indicate as such? My son is allergic to nuts and while I do not mind receiving cookies with nuts in them, I WILL need to know so that I know to not let him have them. Thanks so much!!! EDIT to add: I am willing to exchange with more than 3 other people. I always bake a ton of cookies so I do not mind baking on up to THREE lists. :sparklyheart: |
Quote:
Thanks LaneyDoll :). All good info and yes, I will make special notes like allergies and such and make that info available. Thanks! :) |

Edited to add: I plan to coordinate this again next year in case this one doesn't work out for you :) |
I can't wait to start looking at recipes!

Thanks Stephanie, but I'm thinking next year will work better. The kitchen in my place really sucks and has little counter space to do anything at all. |
Quote:
I went and got the things to send stuff out in today and it made me excited. QueenofSmirks, I'm willing to send to more than 3 if needed. Or even if not needed. I'm a baking fool. |

I will be over looking quality, taste, and presentation... |
I'm having the HARDEST time deciding what to bake.
So far I've narrowed it down to.....fudge, in some form. Everything else that's exciting me has cream cheese in it and I don't think that travels well. (Actually, QueenofSmirks, kindly let me know it doesn't travel well so thank her that I didn't poison you all) Anyone care to share what thier favorite yummies are? Help a girl out?? |
