HFG tip

The trick to good presents is good presentation.

Pack your edible present in a gift box lined with wax paper. If packing more than one layer, separate the layers with a sheet of wax paper.
Wrap the box in tin foil, scraps of fabric, or white paper with your own drawings.
Be creative with your decorating. Try ribbon bows, beads, seashells, real pine needles or tinsel.
