Given you have no time and this is a student audience, how about
biscotti see http://www.geocities.com/helewyse/biscotti.html
more biscotti see http://www.geocities.com/helewyse/appendix2.html
bagels http://www.geocities.com/helewyse/bagels.html
or see
Stefan's files and look under Sweet Foods where you will find: 
_Bakng-w-Sugar-art – 10/21/06_

or perhaps
