Holiday Baking

Wow!

It has been a busy 48 hours.

Every year I bake sweets for people for holiday gifts. I love to do it and it makes my whole house smell like sugar.

This year I decided to make cakes for my professors and my sons teachers. I made 8 of these little candy box cakes for them.

They were so much fun to make! Not going to lie though, after the fourth one it started to feel like a little much. But I think they all turned out really well!!

Each cake was one 6 inch cake. Since they were so thick I cut it in half, filled it, and frosted over it. Some of them were surrounded by Kit Kat bars, others were covered in sprinkles. The tops were covered in different kinds of candy and chocolate frosting and the wafer cookies. I wanted to eat it all!



I wrapped the cakes up in red bags and wrapped them with a ribbon. I was worried about the frosting coming off, a small amount did, but they still looked pretty good.

For everyone else I made mnm cookies, Christmas crack (sounds weird but is so addicting), White chocolate covered brownie bites and sugar cookie truffles. Got all those packaged and shipped out.

Now I get to take a break, work on finals, and then pick up again on Tuesday with the Gluten Free baking and then not one, but two birthday cakes.

This is going to be a crazy month! So worth it though!!
