Tips
Provide Details.
Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it. For example:
Don't say: Eat more fats.
Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

EditTips

  • If you enjoy baked apples, you can bake the apples before decorating.
  • Don't pull too hard on the cotton ball or it will separate.

EditWarnings

  • Bottle of whole cloves (6 cloves per Santa)
