Cakes

Y’all need to know something about me.

I’m a compulsive baker. Baking makes me happy when I’m sad. It calms me when I’m anxious. It distracts me when I’m worried.

Basically, baking releases endorphins. Much like checking off items on a to-do list does for some people. Ya know, those Type A people.

This is why I bake even when I can’t eat any of it. I just plain love it. I love watching my family ~~inhale~~ savor it. It’s almost like experiencing it myself.

That last line was such a lie.

I saw these Chocolate Dipped Cupcakes over at Kristan’s site. Y’all need to pay her site a lil’ visit. Lots of yummy eye candy goin’ on over there.

I’m curious.

What’s your thing?

Your thing you go to when you’re stressed. Your thing you do when you want to scream at the world. Your thing you turn to when you’re so happy you can’t wipe the smile off your face.

Christmas Treats {and some more Christmas treats}

These are Southern Gal’s Pound Cake Cookies. My husband gave a big thumbs up on these. Even Junior ate one and he’s not a nutty kinda guy.

These are Megan’s Cookie Dough Truffles. There are no eggs in the cookie dough, so it’s safe to eat.

Although, we eat raw cookie dough.

And we seem fine.

Er . . . .

The entire crew raved about these. What’s not to love? Cookie dough smothered in chocolate. Um . . . yes, please.

This is just a standard chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Now, I did attempt to imitate Amanda’s ruffled cake. Her cake is so gorgeous.

Looks at her cake.

Looks at my cake.

Ok. Soooo, my ruffles need a tad more work. *snort*

I also whipped up a pecan pie and some Rice Krispies Treats Ornaments. I think I’m officially done with all the treats. I may or may not have gone overboard.
