Merry Christmas!!! :-)
It has been a wonderful Christmas, and I'm not just talking about today. This whole month has been wonderful. We took the last two weeks off from school, and I have been baking, and cooking everyday. :-) You may think that is a lot, but it wasn't all just for today or just for Christmas. We made MANY cookies to give away as gifts, as well as 2 batches of cinnamon rolls and an innumerable amount of Oreo Truffles.
I've baked 2 cakes for both a baby shower and a birthday. Actually, 2 for birthdays. I've spent the holidays trying to relax, and improve my cake baking/decorating skills. :-) The following photos show my progress.
Yes, I made that little "sweet" baby out of fondant. My first time to try to sculpt something from fondant. Also, the cake shows I watch are teaching me about sculpting cakes, but you can't do that with Duncan Hines. :-) So, I've been looking for sponge cake recipes from scratch. Found a couple and made one. It tasted really good, but I did not venture into the sculpting part yet. That is coming. :-)
To help me with my new cake adventures my family gave me a Wilton Ribbon Cutter and Embosser set. :-) I can't wait to try it.
And, my FAVORITE gift was.................................................
That's right, I got the cook book. :-) I plan to make the cinnamon rolls sometime this week. :-)
Of course, none of these things compare to THE ULTIMATE GIFT given to us by our LORD, His Son, Jesus Christ; and the gift He gave to us, Himself. :-)
Blessings to all you and your family.
Love,
Wendy Darling

And Merry Christmas to you, too!
It was a wonderful and long day. I am about to settle in for a long winter's nap. It may last the weekend.
I made those PW cinnamon rolls for Christmas presents this year. They were a big hit. Could not be more rich.
Your cakes looks good, very good work on the decorations, I like them.
