Baking and recipes

Miss_Bump · Dec 10th, 2009, 07:49 AM

As it the festive season i was wondering who was going to be baking cakes, cookies or mince pies etc?

Im going to make chocolate cornflake cakes and a tripple chocolate cake tonight! Also at the weekend i will make some mince pies!

Thought it might be nice to share what other are baking and also recipes too if you want to

I bake occasionally but more so during the Christmas season, mainly as I would get fat if I did it regularly, lol! But my son loves to help me cook dinners so we still get that special time together doing kitchen stuff.

As for now, I just got done making an AWESOME pumpkin roll with a cream cheese filling.

Today I'm making a pan of super fudge brownies for my son to bring to school for the cake sale tomorrow.

The week of Christmas a friend of mine and I will be making chocolate truffles, nutsmack, domino cupcakes, and something else (haven't decided) to create a few little baked goods trays for others. We're not going overboard, just literally doing some for ourselves and to give out to maybe 2 or 3 other people each. It will be an enjoyable experience.

I'm also doing a spiced cranberry nut bread which is divine, and I say that as a person who doesn't normally go for things that don't have chocolate in them, LOL..

i enjoy baking but i usually end up eating most of it myself as DH doesnt have much of a sweet tooth!

i think i will be making a few carrot cakes and some choc chip cookies (when i find my recipe book)...

ive just made some mince pies, they are a tad thick! i guess i could have rolled them thinner, im out of practice its been a year since i last made them lol later on im making some jam tarts for my daughter as she doesnt like mince pies, then tomorrow its the wheat and dairy free mince pies for the OH.

next week i promised daughter i will do the shortbread thats in my cook book thats a shape of snowmen...tho i dont have that cutter so it will have to be some other festive shape lol

I made the family Christmas cakes this year for the first time (still not quite sure how I volunteered myself for that!) and they actually went quite well. I'm not normally so good at cakes, better at biscuits!

Do love baking though, would like to start making bread but my first couple of attempts didn't work out so well.

I love mince pies, 12 for £1 at asda this week, had to buy 2 boxes! At least I've a good excuse this year!
