baking

Earlier in the month when I was up to my eyeballs in butter, flour and sugar the fabulous Lynn had asked me if I would take a few pictures of my baking exploits. By the way, the final tally was in the neighbourhood of 100 dozen cookies. I kinda never wanted to bake again, but I have almost every day since my last order went out. I am a special brand of crazy apparently.

So I actually didn't take many pictures at all. Grabbing a camera was about the last thing on my mind, but I did snap one or two.

Lemon sugar cookies. I made a lot of these.

Cute little boxes of treats I did for the kids' teachers.

And these are the treats I took to dinner at my Mom's. Mini butter tarts with some very awesome pastry if I do say so myself, salted caramel cupcakes and cinnamon chip cookies.

Betsy - I'm pretty much over anything sweetish these day.

Pam - thanks, I hope yours was as well.

Julie - oh they are super duper good my friend.

Lynn - The tarts were to die for and the pastry was awesome. I haven't had much luck with pastry, but I think I finally found a recipe and method that works best for me.
