Winter Baking

Any Excuse to Bake...

Here are some things I baked this winter:

Mini Christmas Tree cupcakes 

for the McCann's bowling league party.  

I can't believe I actually found that teeny tiny star cookie cutter, but it was essential!  Initially I made the stars out of sugar cookies, but when I didn't have enough I resorted to punching them out of Andes mints.

Bacon Cupcakes 

for the Giants Superbowl  

Bacon inside...

And out.

Mmmmm... bacon.

Mean Sweethearts Cookies

for Valentine's Day

I made these for my dates... like a boss.  

Here's a tip: if you're planning to buy a heart-shaped cookie cutter, don't wait until Feb. 14th.  You will be stuck with whatever size is left... Hence dinner-plate-sized cookies.
