Just because it’s the holidays doesn’t mean you have to be a bakery genius (or religiously watch Paula Dean) to enjoy a Christmas treat. Who has the time? Between all the shopping, wrapping, drinking and more shopping, how can someone even think of sprinkling sprinkles with those jittery hands or trying to wrack their brains on just exactly how much is a teaspoon?
