The Seattle Times - CANNOLI FOR Christmas? Who needs fruitcake!
And why not try something new? Part of the excitement of the holidays for me is mixing flavors and customs. Sweets from another culture, such as Italian cannoli, can add whimsy and novelty to traditional menus. And lucky for us, local bakeries are turning out a tempting array of artful desserts.
Adrienne Bandlow, owner of Holy Cannoli in Belltown, has whipped up enticing pastries including Buttered Rum, Coconut Snowball, Egg Nog and Gingerbread. These cream-filled sensations are sure to thrill hosts and guests alike ($28 for a dozen small cannoli).
