Let's Bake-Holiday Edition

In my family we have a baking marathon. There are usually more sweet treats than side dishes. For me it's a dream, for my waist, not so much. I can't imaging that holiday baking isn't the same for you lovelies. Whether your just an expert taste-tester or master chef of the spritz cookie, here are some pretty baking goods too lovely to not desire.

If you're using your secret sugar cookie recipe to make sweet gifts for friends and neighbors, use this Message in a Cookie cutters to share your holiday wishes or leave a note for Santa.



If you don't have a secret sugar cookie recipe try this one.

Test out your favorite muffin and bread recipes with these Holiday inspired molds.
