Baking Bonanza

I spent the weekend searching antique stores and baking! Two of my most favorite things to do. I decided I had better start getting all of my holiday recipes under control and start testing out any new recipes that I want to add to my repertoire. Yesterday I made a pumpkin roulade with marscarpone butter cream filling, which is delicious. Its a great alternative to a pumpkin pie.


You can find the recipe here

I also made these amazing Chewy Molasses Cookies from Martha Stewart. They turned out crunchy and chewy at the same time and are not too molasses-y but just right! I think I am going to make these along with my traditional Snowballs (aka Russian Tea Cakes) and either a Chocolate Crinkle Cookie or Snicker doodle. So while I was baking I got to thinking about how to package all of these delectable treats. There are so many great, inexpensive ways to present your holiday gifts I had to share a few with you.

These are my Chewy Molasses Cookies packaged in a mason jar!

    Hi Whitney, I love your site and love your fresh decorating style. I am a good friend of your Aunt Judy. Judy shared your blog with me because I too have a blog and love to decorate. I am not a designer, but have taken a decorating course. I have new ideas for my website and blog for 2010. First, I need to sharpen my computer skills to update my blog information. You are a great inspiration and I will make sure I check back often.

    P.S. We must bring back the "Cocktail Party" ;-)
