New cupcake book and sticky minis
I got this fantastic new cupcake book for Christmas from a co-worker pal
It’s got a lot of different cupcake recipes than the one I usually use (that I bought at Christmas Tree Shops for 5 dollars) and a lot of great tips and clear directions. It does a lot of different takes based off a simple recipe. I made what the book titled “caramel-covered tea cakes” (I’m...

But she has some decisions to make because he bought her things in which she had to choose which one she wanted. One of them being which cookie pans to keep? Advice from my baker buddies would be much appreciated.

A series of unfortunate events with cupcakes...
What happened with my most recent baking blunder:
1. Midway through measuring the molasses I run out. I go to Stop & Shop, Stop & Shop is out of molasses. I go to the local co-op, they are out of regular molasses, I have to buy expensive organic molasses.

Let the holiday baking commence!
This year, I am heavily responsible for the treats portion of my family’s Christmas Eve. With my immediate family alone, we make 6 (mom, dad, 3 brothers and me) and we have quite a few additions this year as far as significant others and cousins and aunts and uncles. I’m also baking for my co-worker buddies at school.
I’m excited to have so much reason to bake!
