There's been a lot of loneliness and depression lately, so needless to say that quite a few pies, cakes, and cookies have come out of my kitchen over the last couple of months.
This cake takes a long time to make because of all of the individual layers, but tastes very moist and has the capability of fulfilling any sized sweet spot.
I also ventured into baking peanut butter blossoms for the first time, and if I do say so myself, they turned out quite nicely:
And then there were the apple pies with crumb topping. They were such a big hit that they didn't last long enough to take nice photos of them. It took longer to prepare and bake than it took for them to disappear into people's stomachs.
I've always made time during the holiday season to bake and I try to make at least one new thing every year. The most time consuming one year was chocolate covered gummy bears. I also learned to make a low fat and low cholesterol pumpkin bread and a banana bread.
And one thing to remember about me and my baking habits... I add cinnamon to absolutely positively everything... pies, cakes, cookies, breads... And of course, everything smells better with cinnamon.
