Above are some pictures of Sugar cookies, which I made for christmas to give away to friends and family. Along with a mini Three layer Pecan and cherry, coconut buttercrem cake.
We have all experienced the Christmas rush and/or the Thanksgiving rush, where we spend hours in the kitchen cooking and baking, along with hours in the grocery stores.. battling over the last package or bottle of gravy, or the last bag of flour.
For 2007, I spent my time baking for three days straight. I began with the cookies, the first cookies I made was half chocolate and half vanilla with orange peel. They were the best things to hit the market. Those were the first items gone, to where I did not even remeber.. muchless have time to take a picture.. so next time! What followed after that was my sugar cookies, throughout this whole process, friends and family could not get one word out of me, I was in the zone.. The kitchen was like a jungle, and only the brave could enter. And as anyone who cooks or bakes knows that, your on a roll.. all your batches are coming out good and evenly brown, but from the time you attempt to get started on another project, there goes that bad batch.. where the cookies are over cooked.. but the show must go on. So, I had a few stumbbles, but who doesn't? As, my cookie escapade came to an end, then I got started, with my mini cakes, that was easy and only took one day to assemble and ice. I really enjoy baking, I never once felt tired or stressed, its more like baking is something that relaxes me and allows me to get creative.
