Let's Bake-Holiday Edition

>> Wednesday, December 2, 2009

In my family we have a baking marathon. There are usually more sweet treats than side dishes. For me it's a dream, for my waist, not so much. I can't imaging that holiday baking isn't the same for you lovelies. Whether your just an expert taste-tester or master chef of the spritz cookie, here are some pretty baking goods too lovely to not desire.

If you're using your secret sugar cookie recipe to make sweet gifts for friends and neighbors, use this Message in a Cookie cutters to share your holiday wishes or leave a note for Santa.



If you don't have a secret sugar cookie recipe try this one.

Test out your favorite muffin and bread recipes with these Holiday inspired molds.

Star Making Mold



or this silicone muffin tray



Who hasn't dealt with a batch of Gingerbread men that are a bit fussy to free from your cookie sheet. This gingerbread man cakelets pan will change that issue.



Not interested in searching for a gingerbread recipe, try this.

Of course you can find an array of cookie cutters to suit your baking needs.



Sure this is just a light representation of all the baking products out there but I hope you're inspired to start planning your holiday baking whether you're a pro or novice.

Ok, let's be real--who isn't on a budget and if you're still searching for budget friendly ways to share your love, well there's a few smashing ideas that may peek your interest.

Nothing says love like baking. I saw these oh so cute packaging ideas and thought this is such a creative Valentine to deliver to friends or family. Whether you have the talent to bake from scratch or by the box doesn't matter but think of these cute ideas when it comes to the presentation. Both come from twig and thistle, and they both look delicious!

Sweet Gift Giving

I know, I know you haven't even sat down for Thanksgiving yet and I'm talking about gifts. If you're looking for something nice and sweet to give to friends who have an incurable sweet tooth check out Whimsy and Spice. I've talked about them before but how can you resist Hazelnut Chocolate Whisky Sandwich Cookies or and Espresso Brownie with Dulce de Leche? I can't either.

Chocolate + Valentines Day = Sweet Love. If you think the classic chocolate filled heart-shaped box wrapped in red is cliche, and you have time and plenty of baking skill...think about this oh so sweet alternatives {and you won't have to play that half-eaten guessing game to discover your favorites}

PS.This delightful dessert requires, time, patience and the ability to not eat everything before it's baked ;)
