Cookies for Santa


These are the cookies we made to give to Santa tonight. I made these using a technique that I had never tried before. I colored the dough green (for the trees), then thinned down some dough and colored it yellow and red. I decorated the cookies with decorator tips using the thinned dough and then baked them. The decorations are baked right into the cookies. I thought it was a great way to make cute cookies without having to make frosting!

Fruit Cake


This recipe can make even the fruit-cake-haters come back for more! It's made with a buttermilk cake base with candy oranges, coconut, dates and walnuts. To top it all off it has an orange juice glaze that soaks into the warm fruit cake so it's nice and moist.

Oh, fudge!


Christmas time reminds me of fudge. My grandma would make us fudge every year for Christmas. I made 25 lbs of fudge this year from her recipe. The fudge that is pictured is milk chocolate fudge and peanut butter fudge. I also made semi-sweet fudge with almonds. It's SO yummy!

Patriotic Anniversary


Our neighbor has been serving in Afghanistan and has come home for his leave. He got here just in time to celebrate his and his wife's 19th wedding anniversary. I made them a special cake that was to welcome him home, and also to wish them both a happy anniversary. Thanks for serving our country...and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!


This cake is a mini-tier cake made from just one cake mix. It's decorated with red, white and blue buttercream frosting roses.
