Mikes Miscellaneous Mondays 1st Edition.. Holy Canolli

I have come to the realization that I tend to take lots of photos of stuff that can not easily stand alone as a blog post. So I thought I would start a somewhat regular feature where I would share some stuff I just gather on my wanderings.
This is actually the photo that triggered me wanting to start this as I really wanted to share it but did not know how to frame the idea.

I cannot take credit for this but we use a great Italian bakery at work and my boss requested they make the giant cannoli's as a great way to present the minis. This looked so good on the buffet.

I wonder what they used as a cannoli tube for the large ones.

Feel free to post a link to your favorite Canolli recipe in the comments section.
