The Village Bake Shop

It had always been Leona's dream to have her own Bakery....
Picture
...and the weeks leading up to Christmas were always her busiest time of year....
Picture
As much as she loved baking, it was a lot of work keeping up with customer demand.....
Picture
Picture

Dreaming of Sugarplums

It was a very snowy afternoon when Aaron, Byuri and her friends went to visit the Bake Shop....
Picture
"Look at all those yummy things"
Picture
"I love all those cookies in the front. I want to go in and buy one."
Picture
"Me too! Wouldn't it be great if we could make cookies like that?"
Picture
"Maybe she sells the recipe book..."
Picture

Buying Some Cookies

So Aaron and Byuri went in....
Picture
Cookie and Olivia wanted to buy a cookie, so went into the shop too...
Picture
"I'd like one of those gingerbread men in the front, please."
Picture
"Me too, please."
Picture
"And what about the rest of you?"
Picture

Cookie Recipes

"We were also wondering if you sold any recipe books, so we could try making some ourselves?"
Picture
"Yes, just like those ones in front."
Picture
"Yes, I do..."
Picture
"This is my recipe book. It has my recipes for many of the cookies I sell in my shop."
Picture
Aaron took a look...
Picture
"Is the gingerbread men recipe in there too?"
Picture
Picture
"Yes, it is..."
Picture
"..and lots of other great cookies too..."
Picture
"So, you'd like a copy then?"
Picture
"I'll just go ring it up, along with your four cookies..."
Picture

Time to Leave

After Aaron paid, Leona bagged everything up for him....
Picture
"Here you go...."  and she handed each of them a candy cane.....
Picture
"Thank you so much!"
Picture
"Thank you for coming in..."
Picture
"And have a Merry Christmas!'
Picture
"Wow, that was so nice of her to give us each a candy cane!"
Picture
"Yes, and I'm so glad she had a cookie recipe book for sale. I can't wait to try some of them."
Picture
"We just need to decide on which ones, and see if we have all the ingredients at home, or we'll need to go to the grocery store first."
Picture

Baking Cookies

A few days later, school was out for the Holidays, and Aaron decided it was the perfect time to make some cookies with his sister and her friends.  He'd already made a batch of gingerbread dough in advance...
Picture
Picture
Picture
'That's a weird looking rolling pin! It doesn't have any handles..."
Picture
"Well, it works just the same...."
Picture
Byuri could barely wait to start cutting out the cookies....
Picture
As soon as he was finished rolling out the dough, Aaron let them at it....
Picture
He baked the cookies...
Picture
Picture
...and rolled out more dough as needed....
Picture
Picture
When they were baked, it became Byuri's job to decorate them....
Picture
Cookie decided she needed to test one.....
Picture
Picture
Picture
'They are delicious!!"
Picture

Cookies by the Tree

After all the cookies were baked and decorated, and the kitchen cleaned up, Byuri piled some of them on a tray...
Picture
"Want to try one? I mean, another one?"
Picture
"I think I'd like to try a heart one this time..."
Picture
'They all look so yummy!"
Picture
Picture
Byuri put the tray down and took a cookie too....
Picture
Aaron took one too...."I think we all did a really good job..."
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"Your tree is really beautiful.."
