(sing along if you know the words)
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With the cupcakes baking
The peppermint tasting
And all of the Kupcakerie cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
With those Jazzy Jane sprinkles
And Christmas light twinkles
When customers come to call
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
There’ll be coffee for drinking
Jubilee books for thinking
Surrounded by loved ones you know
There’ll be happy short stories
And tales of the glories of
Cupcake flavors long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be Kascha and Henry
The owners of plenty
Here to spread joy far and near
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
The faces of a bakery so magical and great
With sweets so good you won’t want to wait
Both are excited for their holiday take
And here is how they celebrate:
With a few questions, Henry and Kascha gave the ‘scoop’ on how they celebrate the holiday season.
1.What are you favorite festive activities, holiday food/dessert, and movies to watch?
Henry: I enjoy decorating our tree and exterior of the house. I also like making chocolate chip cookies on Christmas Eve. My favorite holiday movies are Charlie Brown’s Christmas and Home Alone.
Kascha: One of my favorite things to do on Christmas Eve is to bake cookies with our daughter, Savannah. Henry has a mean chocolate chip cookie recipe, but we also enjoy pumpkin chocolate chip. I think this year, we’re going to try to make the best sugar cookie ever. We also wear matching pajamas and watch Christmas movies. My very favorite is It’s a Wonderful Life. Savannah would pick The Grinch.
2. What is something you plan on doing for the holidays that you couldn’t do last year during the pandemic?
Henry: We’re going down to Kascha’s sister’s house in Orlando and hopefully we can get out and do some things in the city.
Kascha: We are going down with our family to Orlando to visit my sister and her family. We’ll get to visit Universal Studios and hopefully ride the train to Hogwarts at Christmastime.
3. Do either of you have any New Year’s Resolutions going into 2022?
Henry: To get our new store open and not burn myself out as much. To keep moving forward in all aspects of life.
Kascha: I am going to focus on wellness in 2022, both physical and mental. I want to take some time each day to meditate and move.
