150 White Chocolate Eiffel towers

Why do I have 150 white chocolate Eiffel towers on my kitchen cabinet? Because my sister is the Senior Prom advisor for Bland High school where she teaches! She and her committee have been planning their theme “An Evening in Paris” for months. This is her 2nd year as Prom coordinator and she does a wonderful job. She had originally wanted me to do iced cookies in the shape of the Eiffel tower but the cookie cutter was just not cooperative. I came up with the idea of the chocolate mold and voile! We have Eiffel towers. The mold only made two “towers” at a time, the chocolate had to set up for 30 minutes in the refrigerator, and then I would have to trim off excess chocolate. Sometimes in the trimming process a tower would snap and I would have to start over. The towers are approximately 4″ tall. I would estimate I have 70 man hours in these towers! The things we do for our sisters! It is amazing how she gives and gives to her students and school. She is called upon many times a week to help interpret for Spanish-speaking parents who’s child is having problems. Some of those sessions are very emotional for her. She truly is “the salt and light” in her classroom. I know her Prom night will be a memorable one for her students. And for all my fussing, I am honored to have been a part of it.
