Tis the season for cookie baking! And that's mainly what I've been doing. Last weekend I did do a couple of cakes. The snowflake cake is a White Almond Sour Cream cake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream. I made royal icing snowflakes to decorate the top. Amazingly, by sheer luck, only one broke in the process of removing them from the wax paper and placing them on the cake.
I was looking for a simple way to dress up a rum cake and needed something I could do in advance. So I made a few poinsettias. I had forgotten how fun (and easy!) it is to do flowers.
Taking away from my cake time, also, was sewing for a craft fair. CLO put on the fair and I made baby blankets and angel dolls.Merry Christmas and Happy Baking!
