As I was making my Christmas image for my newsletter, I decided to make it from all edible items made at the bakery (except background, text and bubbles). I added some of my favorite giftbox cakes, 3D cakes and gingerbread cookies. I even framed it with scrollwork from a Christmas cake.
Please remember we’re bakers and not electronic artists. Anyway, one of my favorite “people” in the photo is Santa’s newest elf, Percy the Penguin.
Meet Percy the Penguin – Santa’s newest Elf!
He came to life about 4 years ago, when someone ordered him and then did not pick him up. We were saying we’ll never be able to sell him, so we put him on sale. This wonderful woman came in and was ecstatic, for she LOVED penguins. She ran to the car and brought back a life size stuffed penguin. So I introduce you to Percy the Penguin, Santa’s newest elf.

The nice lady even sent me a picture of Percy sitting at the dinner table with Papa, Percy Penguin, Sr.
Just a bit of fun for the holiday, and maybe some of you will adopt Percy as one of your new holiday traditions.
Enjoy and all the best for a sweet holiday and sweet 2011,
Janice
PS: When he is not working for Santa at the North Pole you can find him at Three Brothers Bakery!
