Still Baking!

[yellowdogintexas]

just 1 more to go.


Since Thanksgiving I have baked two cranberry orange coffee cakes, 1 apple coffeecake, 1 batch of chocolate shadow cookies, 1 batch of spicy Mexican Chocolate cookies, 2 chocolate pound cakes, 1 bourbon cake, 1 lemoncello cake, 1 rum cake, 2 Italian Cream cakes and have one more chocolate pound cake to go.

It's always fun, even when I have to make a sudden run to Braum's to grab extra milk!

1. Mmmmm

I'd kill for a good lemoncello cake. I had a nurse in RI that made one on my birthday every year!!

7. this one was a pound cake. I want to try a layer cake with frosting sometime

My friend makes the lemoncello, and she wants a cake for the League of Women Voters fundraiser. This was a Frankencake: basic cake from one recipe, but it didn't have a soaking liquid so I stole that from a different recipe, and the glaze from a third recipe.

I LOVE Pinterest which is where I found all three of the recipes. I have not heard from the person who bought at the auction to see if I want to keep it on my choices list.

4. I absolutely cannot compete with you,

and the diversity of your baked goods, But I did bake four pecan pies today, and my pecan pies are scrumptious!!!

8. I love pie!!! I'm not very good with the crust though

My mom however made fabulous pie crust. her peach cobblers were divine.
I can almost smell your pecan pies all the way from Fort WOrth

10. Pillsbury crusts are pretty good

Roll them a little thinner and slather on soft butter.

once my mother in law asked for my piecrust recipe and I told her the red box in the refrigerator case with the doughboy on it.

5. Going to bake cookies tomorrow

Behind on my baking because my old boy has been very ill. Went to the store on Saturday and purchased all I needed for baking. I was going to bake today, but I had a "Piddle Day" where I just piddled around and didn't do much of anything. Everyone needs a "Piddle Day" every so often.

Tomorrow is going to be a serious cookie baking day. Cookies will be for Christmas gifts.

Gum Drop Cookies. Orange Chocolate Chippers, Aunt Gail's Lemon Bars. oatmeal chocolate chip, Peanut butter-butter scotch brownies.

Aunt Gail (my sister) is in the hospital and is looking forward to my cookies.

6. Ooh sounds good!

Made these yesterday. Like a delicate crispy caramel.

Also made regular chocolate chip, chocolate chip with caramel M & Ms, snickerdoodles, molasses spice and tassies (the cute baby pecan pies). Labor-intensive but worth it.

12. I think I had one of those thin things at a funeral reception

last week. I took my Spicy Chocolate cookies to that one. The thin caramel was good. I don't know if it had oatmeal in it or not but I don't care because it was good
