We have already done lots of baking in Roatan. My mom has really enjoyed baking in the sun, but me and my sister have mostly done baking goodies to share. Amelia VanZee (an avid baker) has assisted us in making these treats. In a christmas gift exchange I had gotten a gingerbread doghouse which we attempted to put together soon after we got here. I say attempted because the icing wouldn’t stick because it was so hot here, but we still had lots of fun decorating (and eating) the pieces. The VanZees’ had extra candy that we added to give it a more ” beauty”. A few days later we made sugar cookies, and frosted them beautifully. Those were eaten and enjoyed by those who frosted them and by those who didn’t. Our last dish (for now) were cookie pops that we took to Amelia’s girls club. We made sugar cookie dough and mixed sprinkles into it. We then flattened them, put them on popsicle sticks and baked them, but not before adding extra sprinkles to the top. All of the dishes were a smash hit.
