Christmas Baking



Lots of help this year with the baking - not being sarcastic - there really was. Sarah did the whole pumpkin cake more or less by herself, and both girls did large parts of other recipes virtually unaided. Makes it a lot less stressful, really. Made a couple of new things this year - Florentines and some fudge. Both worked out well. Also made jam thumbprints, ginger cookies, butterscotch shortbread, fudge meltaways, peanut butter chocolate no-bakes, rice krispie treats and butter horn cookies - my Dad's favourite cookie. Those of you who know me will know I am not a highly sentimental person, but it wouldn't really be Christmas without those. We all like them, too, which helps!
