Christmas in a bite.

I have intentions to strictly post cute recipes... if you know what I mean! However this recipe is not very attractive, though it certainly is a MUST HAVE to your Christmas celebration. I would NOT be able to sleep at night not knowing that I did not share this with my fellow readers! Do the math!

egg nog + gingerbread + nut meg = Christmas
Santa’s Eggnog Cups= Christmas

For realz... I scouts honor that for sure! Santa's Eggnog Cups are absolutely amazing! It is quite simple and it honestly does scream Christmas! I loved it so much that I have decided to make this recipe my very own yearly tradition. This is a must have recipe for the holiday season. No serving plates/napkins/forks necessary! Finger food rocks!

Making Gingerbread men cookies with my man!

Holly molly rolly polly, I got Andy to get busy in the kitchen with me! I always forget how much easier bakery-life is when there is an extra pair of hands on board! By the way, the cute little apron I am wearing was hand-made by Andy’s great grandmother! I am so honored to have this!












I had a last minute cake... 4 layers tall! I surrounded the cake with the cookies that Andy and I deecorated together. Happy bday Jesus!

The tablecloth made my cupcakes!

Christmas 2008! Every year, my mom & dad have a yearly office party! This year, they requested that I make red velvet cupcakes! Unfortunately they asked me last minute and I had a million things on my plate. I ran short on time so I threw some sprinkles on top and called it a day! Luckily, they had a bright red table cloth which made these ordinarily cupcakes a success!
Lesson of the day: Tableclothes can dress up cupcakes or any desserts! Sweeeeeet!

Christmas Cookies on a stick!

The holidays have arrived so quickly this year! My fiance's, Andy, mom is an elementary school teacher. Each year, she gives her parent helpers a very special treat for Christmas. This year she asked me to make cookie bouquets for the parents! I had a blast making these!
