They went for over 10 years to the U.P. Dan won him & his wife a one week all-expense paid trip to Paris, France in 2009. He had submitted his Candy Bar Puffs (a puff pastry recipe) on line on a whim for a chance to win the trip. During the trip Dan and his wife were able to go to a Cook’n with Class for free and made 5 different kinds of patisseries taught by a certified Cordon Blue Patisserie Chef.
