I am making holiday gifts for my baking friends, and it is so easy and inexpensive to make a one-of-a-kind gift. If you are a thrift store shopper, find a glass candlestick holder, a pretty plate, and buy a tube of epoxy. The results are stunning. Usually, it does not cost more than $3 if you buy your plate and candlestick holder at a thrift store. Complete instructions and more photos on my blog Cooking in Mexico
