The Art Of Baking

Someone with the skills and knowledge in making a online website should really consider launching a baking community website for bloggers to add there baking sites. Also a place where fellow baking lovers can reach to one site to see great baking done by people and reviewed by people. Im sadden there isnt a site like this because there are so many blogging community sites for specific topics but not for the world of baking, which surprised me when I couldnt find anything!?. Well I really wished someone would make a site for us baking lovers! or addicts lol

Finally back and well rested to start releasing some more posts! So how was every one's Christmas/Holidays? :D Mine was really great and I have lots of baking stuff to try out for upcoming recipes :P. I don't even know where to start lol? I promise though from the last post I would release the baking I did for gifts :D right?. For one, I gave away those delicious spectalass cookies I posted about just before Christmas,which were very well received. The other two items I gave away were simple snowflakes and mini butter tarts  I had a lot of fun making the snowflakes because it was something I had  never done before. I thought they were really simple to make and very creative. The feature of using the straw to make the holes I thought was very smart and made them look very fancy. I also took my own idea of using toothpicks for different sizes. It really helped experiment with different patterns so the cookies did not look all the same. Then the last feature of the sifted ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hope everyone's Holidays are filled with joy and happiness :D.   Stay tune for more Holiday recipes after Christmas!  I hope I successfully did seasonal recipes this month, its almost over! Well I must run, Its Christmas!

Its already Christmas eve! :) and I'm still tired from all the baking last night. I really wanted to get everything done baking wise on the 23rd so I would have today as a nice relaxing day.  My cold is a lot better, but strangely still kicking around, but no near how bad it was, yay :D. Just took a refreshing nap today because this weather just makes you want to sleep. Weather everywhere in Canada is horrible right now :(, but were at least lucky in B.C that its not as damaging as some being hit hard in the east coast of Canada and eastern states. Been seeing some really nightmarish videos on the news and I'm so glad there has not been any deaths. It makes me sad how many people have lost there homes from being damaged from the weather and all the stuff they lost just before Christmas. Hopefully they can get through it and still have a good Christmas with family. From that event ,I su...

Just finished up last night my version of the candy cottage from " No bake gingerbread houses for kids book".Here's me explaining how it all came together. I started out with the simplest house to see how I would do. At first it was kind of difficult since I didn't seem to have the right crackers, but graham wafers still worked well and just needed to have a longer drying point to keep everything together :).  A couple days later with lots of time for  the house to become solid I bought a few small packages of candy from our nearest convenient store. I used whoppers, nibs and Swedish juice berries which definitely  bought the house more color and became my very own candy cottage. I even had candy on the house from previous of chocolate chips, marshmallows and caramels :).

I have been battling a cold for a few days now and it has just hit its worst point yesterday :(. I did however get some baking done a little before I got the full effect of being sick. So I was able to get some posts done for everyone :). I am going to try to get plenty of rest and hoping this cold is gone by at least Monday so I can have a week left to do some more Christmas baking :D. While I am still recovering, in the meantime I thought I share some treats with all of you, pictures that is :D Here are some of my pictures of Christmas Holiday Treats I have made in the past before this blog was ever created :D.Hope you enjoy!   Chocolate Pecan Bites

Only 8 more days till Christmas! :D, Holy Smokes I didn't even think it was that close. I feel as though its like a month or two away lol and still thinking I have a lot of time to spare in making more holiday treats. Hahaha look at me talking like I'm force to do this or something. I really love blogging about food and recipes I really do, but sometimes I feel I'm missing out on trying out really great recipes meaning so much to do but so little time kind of thing.However I always plug into reality and understand I have lots of time to try out more and more holiday treats in the future lol. I have noticed though since I have started this blog it has pushed me to bake a lot more since I feel I need to post more and talk about what I love to do even if its just me reading it. So I'm going to stop beating myself up about recipes I cant squeeze in and just have fun with it. I am going to start now with this post which is about a great treat for the Christmas holidays. It...
