New Swiss Colony Products for Christmas

Today is “Christmas Eve in July” and we continue our look at holiday-related items. The Swiss Colony has been selling fanciful and tasty food gifts since 1926. I remember looking through their catalog as a child and have been ordering items from them since I was in college (more years ago than I like to admit to). The company has been kind enough to allow us to preview some of their new holiday products for 2008 right here on “All Holiday Cafe.” Take a look:

Snowman Yule Log. Rolled up and ready to please, this cake alternates layers of moist white cake with chocolate butter crème. Its snowy coat is sweet Swiss crème with hand-iced touches. This scrumptious creation is truly magical—it requires a team of more than 30 people to make—but how many people it takes to eat is up to you! (1.25 lbs., $19.95)

Santa’s Deer Trio. Seems three of Santa’s nighttime helpers have stayed behind with a load of tasty friends: chocolate Santas and reindeer, Swiss crème snowman, candy canes and foiled chocolates. It’s ready to be gifted in a felt bag that stands 3” high. (5.5 oz., $23.95)

Snowman Cake.Handcrafted in the Swiss Colony bakery, this crowd-pleasing 7.5-pound cake is The Swiss Colony’s largest cake, reaching a lofty 9.5 inches tall! It starts with moist white cake at all levels. The fluffiest chocolate butter crème filling is then layered in the first three levels and rolled in with a top hat cake. Its snowy outer coat is luscious Swiss crème, the top hat covered in Swiss-blend darker chocolate. Hand-applied icing adds the festive touches! (7.5 lbs., $74.95)
