Holiday Gifts for CoWorkers
Friday, December 18th, 2009Nothing cheers up an office environment around the holidays like some delicious, fresh-baked treats.
I was called upon to make some desserts for an office prior to holiday break.
Sweet and chewy coconut macaroons, gift-boxes and tucked into red tissue paper.
And red velvet cupcake, topped with swirls of heavenly cream cheese frosting.
There’s no better way to head into the winter break than with treats like these! Enjoy!
Classic Gingerbread Cookies
Saturday, December 12th, 2009Nothing signals the arrival of winter quite like the aroma of warm gingerbread. And there is no better vehicle for gingerbread than the classic little gingerbread man.
Aren’t they sweet?
Soft and chewy with just a hint of spice and touch of sweet vanilla frosting … These little guys (and gals) are sure to please!
A Shower for Baby F
Saturday, December 12th, 2009I was so delighted to be invited to our dear friend K’s baby shower. She and her husband D will be expecting Baby F in just a few short months, and we are over the moon for them.
I was also thrilled to be called upon to make her shower cake. Two tiers, one chocolate, one vanilla, studded with butterdream polka dots and a replica of the fishies from Baby F’s super adorable bedding.
Congratulations, again, to two wonderful friends!
Fall Treats
Saturday, December 12th, 2009Holidays are busy busy times.
Busy making lots of delicious and delectable treats!
My apologies for not posting these sooner, but check out this platter of delicious butter spritz cookies and Russian teacakes. They are absolutely melt-in-your-mouth good. Dusted with powdered sugar or tipped with chocolate frosting and sprinkles or crushed walnuts, they are the perfect addition to your dessert display.
I also did some experimenting and made this cranberry sugar pie. A combination of cranberries, pears, lemon, cinnamon and sugar in a buttery, flaky crust… Topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, it was one of the best pies ever.
