Steve’s Flowers and Gifts Inc.
Family Owned and Operated
Steve’s Flowers and Gifts Inc. was founded in 1973 by Steve and Linda Huth. As Steve was attending college, he worked for a local flower shop, delivering, doing odd jobs, and eventually designing. Steve had dreams of opening his own floral facility on the south side of Indianapolis, and when opportunity came, he went to work to make it happen. His philosophy from the start was making sure his customers were happily satisfied. The dedication and commitment towards his goal allowed Steve to move into a larger facility in 1976, and opened a second location in the fast growing town of Greenwood in 1982. In October of 1988, Steve designed and had built his own building which consists of 7,000 square feet.

Holiday Treat Favorites
Christmas season offers so many delicious foods. You might remember your mom or grandma as I do whipping up a batch of fudge, divinity or those yummy little wedding cookies with pecan pieces and coated with powdered sugar. It is so rewarding to give a gift of holiday treats to someone and see the delight on their face. I started to wonder what are some of the favorite holiday treats in other parts of the world. Doing a little research yielded some interesting results.
- Eggnog – If you live in the USA, chances are that someone will hand you a tasty cup or glass of Eggnog during this season. It has been referred to as the nectar of the Gods! Often it is accompanied with a touch of brandy, rum or bourbon. The main ingredients are milk, cream, whipped eggs, sugar and spices. Not a low calorie beverage but it is enjoyed by many and sold in estimated quantities of 130 million pounds each year.
- Buche de Noel – The French translation is ‘Yule Log’. A yummy dessert of sponge cake filled butter cream icing and covered with decadent chocolate icing. Sometimes it is even dusted with powdered sugar.
- Stollen – This sweet bread, a favorite holiday treat in Germany, is eaten during the entire Christmas season. It is full of sweet raisins, dried fruit, chopped candied, nuts, cinnamon and cardamom.
- Panettone – This Italian sweet bread originated in the city of Milan. It comes in cylindrical shape and has candied orange or lemon plus raisins. Sometimes people add chocolate to the recipe.
- Mince Pies – These desserts are made from dried mixed fruit, brandy and spices. Kind of like the American Fruit Cake, these small Mince Pies are not a favorite in their home land of Australia.
- Pavlova – This New Zealand holiday treat is actually enjoyed at other times in the year as well as Christmas. It consists of a meringue-based cake that has a delicate, flaky and crunchy crust but inside is a delicious cream filling. Many times it is topped with strawberries and kiwi fruit.
- Apple Cider – Not a much better holiday treat to get you in the Christmas spirit than a warm cup of Apple Cider. In Canada folks are serious about their Apple Cider. They also have versions served with the addition of cinnamon, orange peel, nutmeg, cloves and other spices. These are referred to as Mulled.
- Christmas Pudding – Sometimes topped off with a sprig of holly, this boiled cake with dried fruit and spice is a favorite in Britain. Ingredients in the recipe date back for generations and include treacle, molasses, citrus juice or brandy.
- Turron – When in Spain for Christmas you will find a traditional treat called Turron. The Spanish translation is nougat. This confectionary treat is made up of honey, sugar and egg whites, mixed with toasted almonds, pine nuts or hazelnuts. You can get it hard and crunchy or soft and chewy. It is a favorite Christmas confectionary treat in Spain and actually other parts of Europe. The bite size pieces make it a favorite for popping in your mouth while you celebrate.
- Natilla – Similar to flan, which most of us are familiar with, Natilla is sweet and little bit spicy. Popular in Colombian, this Christmas pudding gets native Columbians in the spirit of Christmas. The custard is eaten fried dough balls and pastry filling or in Columbia they are called bunuelos and manjar blanco.
- Allahabadi Cake – Named after the city of Allahabad, this Indian cake is similar to the American fruitcake. Although similar to fruitcake, it differs in that it has the addition of marmalade, nuts, ginger and fennel. The Christian population cooks and serves Allahabadi Cake during Christmastide.
- Makowiec – Some people compare this traditional Polish treat to a poppy seed Swiss Role. It is a Sweet yeast bread that is wrapped around a dense, bittersweet poppy seed or walnut filling
- Gingerbread – Such a wonderful and well know tradition, Gingerbread is so awesome. In Sweden it is a favorite Christmas treat. The Gingerbread there comes in the form of biscuits that are thin and crispy. They are spiced with ginger, cinnamon and cloves and often cut into basic shapes such as love hearts or stars.
