These are great. We normally do baked sweet potatoes with butter and brown sugar, and this was a nice touch. My mother in law, who said she hates sweet potatoes tried these, and now she makes them for every holiday, and brags to every one about how they have to try them.

I had a small ladies catering at the Library. I did have to practice some making the rosettes but I aced it and they were a hit. They turned out beautiful!
