I need to stop going to the craft store. Not because I'm especially crafty, but because there are so many cool baking things too! My daughter and I were at a local craft shop a month ago and discovered the Easter baking section of the store. Wow. We almost walked out with about $60 worth of baking goodies, but in a moment of clarity,  I figured that I could find some better deals online, and really, would I use 50 Easter chic toothpicks that tweeted when they were pushed? Probably not. Low and behold, I did find a super sweet candy or cake mold that I used to make gluten free Peep cakes. So adorable.
