Tonight I'm going to a girls night of gingerbread cookie decorating! It's going to be SO fun! I've been making little hors d'oeuvres for us to snack on, and I'm bringing all of my fun decorating books, my piping tip set, cookie cutters and other decorating paraphernalia.
Because of all that awesomeness I'll not be posting a recipe for you guys tonight. I'll just leave you with some of the things I've been baking for the holidays. Hopefully you'll see some decorating ideas, or party treats that you can use this season!
Gingies!
Mongo gingie! He's grumpy, lost an arm!
Gingerbread christmas trees! Love how these turned out!
Some of our bakery display.
Gingerbread cupcakes with chocolate or vanilla buttercream and little gingerbread snowflakes.
Stained glass sugar cookie Christmas trees.
Linzer snowflakes. The dough has almonds, cinnamon and lemon zest. They're filled with raspberry jam, and dusted with powdered sugar! YUM!
Peppermint spritz candy canes.
Tender Eggnog sandwich cookies.
Double decker Christmas rice krispie treats.
Decadent fudgy mint brownies with a ganache topping and cocoa shortbread crust.
Mini yule log cakes. Chocolate roulade with ganache mousse!
Well, that's some of the fun stuff I've been up to! I'll be posting recipes for lots of these later on. Now, I'm off for a fun evening with the girls, plus tomorrow is the craft fair!
