Our whipped honey L&L was a hit, the ladies enjoyed it! Class goals were to:

* Understand what creamed honey is
* Learn the nutritional benefits of honey
* Compare creamed honey to regular honey and other sweeteners
* Learn safe food handling and storage
* Taste and prepare simple healthy serving ideas

Also did cost comparison, the cost for whipped or cream honey is higher. You can make the same tasting creamy goodness right at home!
