Just in time for Halloween, Chef Lovely Jiao of Sugarplum Pastries returns with No tricks, just treats!, a spooky series from the dessert innovatorâs amusing offers that gather people together.
âOur Halloween collection started during the pandemic when most kids were indoors,â says Chef Lovely. âNow that everyone is outdoors, we decided to have a selection for kids to share as tokens and giveaways. Let us commemorate the face-to-face interactions, which we lost for a few years.â
The crowd-favorite season-inspired Cookie-Dos are back. The DIY pack includes naked sugar biscuits, which could take the shape of skulls, ghosts, and monsters. It comes with three piping bags in the colors of purple, orange, and green, as well as a variety of sprinkles and chocolate balls.
