A Mini-Gift with a Ribbon

Some of the best gifts come in small packages wrapped with a ribbon. Don't you agree? :)
Bought 4 little mini loaf pans at BBB and made mini gifts for my beloveds. :)
Ahhh the perfect loaf, cracked in the middle, crusted with walnuts. mMmmM. :)
Korean Sweet Potato Bread with a Walnut Crumble :)
Something about making food + wrapping look pretty makes it so much more special.
Found everything I needed at a local arts supply store.
I'm going to try to explore this artsy route of food wrapping, hopefully!


For my recipe, click here. :) 
For these mini-loaves, the baking time was 40 minutes.

What is your favorite baked good to give to your beloveds? :)

  13. These look great! I want to try one out now with the canned sweet potato I have leftover.

    I make granola for my friends and family over the holidays. It's my favorite thing to make and gift in a mason jar.
