Baking and caking and making

In the last week I’ve baked cupcakes with cinnamon frosting and gingerbread, currently in the middle of making truffles (they have to chill for half hour), and in a couple days will be preparing my Christmas-themed chocolate and vanilla cake (I’m on desserts this year). It’s the most wonderful time of the year… my house smells of salted caramel at the moment.

If only I was talented enough to make some of these… everyone would be getting an edible sloth present for their birthdays/Christmas.

An evening baking gingerbread

Baked gingerbread cupcakes, topped with cinnamon frosting and a gingerbread tree cookie, for the work Christmas party tomorrow afternoon. They, smell, AMAZING. I didn’t have any spare cupcakes (it only made a dozen) so I have to trust myself they’re as good as the previous times I’ve baked them (which, is, very good). But I did have a few spare cookies… well, not so much anymore. They were there to mop up the excess frosting. Oh, dear.

I have to say though, it left a better taste in my mouth than I think this lil sloth has:
