Who's up?

And I hope you're not working tonight!

Actually, I had to prep a three tier cake that's to be delivered Sunday. And I made cinnamon rolls and caramel rolls (both vegan) for tomorrow morning. Still have three presents to wrap! And the kitchen to clean up at least somewhat.

And Happy Holidays - whichever one you celebrate.

Hey lurkers. You could at least pop in to say Merry Christmas. hint, hint.

Hi Leah. Long time FNCC lurker. I'm just a hobby baker but I baked cookies all morning and afternoon to give away tomorrow. I also made loaves of gingerbread, chocolate covered pretzel rods and cake pops. Happy Holidays All!

Hey Leah, Merry Christmas! Believe it or not I did have a cake for pick up today that was ordered yesterday afternoon! Since I didn't have anything planned I did it but it was a simple 8" coconut cake so it was all good.
Are you having family tomorrow?

Merry Christmas, Leah! Just taking it easy and thought I'd check to see what's going on tonight. Looks like it's going to be a quiet night. See you in the forums next week! HO! HO! HO!

I was just checking my emails when I saw this. This weekend we're going to relax!! Have a great holiday everyone!

By the way, is there a cake club next Friday (it's New Year's Eve!)

Merry Christmas! Me and the DH have been relaxing all day. Now we're watching A Christmas Story for the second time (of many over the next 24 hours). No more cakes due until New Year's Eve; I have 2 weddings that night. I hope to do some personal baling and some dummy cakes during the downtime.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! No cakes at all for me. I've been baking a cookie storm the last couple of weeks. 15 varieties of cookies. Packaged them all up today to be handed out to friends, family and neighbors over the next couple of days. I hope everyone has a lovely holiday weekend!

Did one single cake pop today - made some marshmallow pops and cake pops with the kids, but only decorated one of them myself. Frosty the snowman, too much fun! A bunch of "giant" chocolate chip cookies, too. I'll have a cake next week (sadly, a birthday one, no holiday stuff anymore ), but that's it for now.

Happy holidays to everybody!!! Thanks for another great year of learning, learning, and more learning!!!

I delivered a Martial Arts uniform cake yesterday. Tonight I made 2 pumpkin, 2 pecan, and one banana cream pie. Just made some eggnog and am enjoying that while waiting for the kiddos to climb into bed. The youngest will be 21 next month and Santa still has to come. LOL

Next week I'll be making a cake for my family Christmas gathering. I'm sifting through ideas now.

Ooh! I just remembered something. I have a packet of Betty Crocker gingerbread cookie dought mix. Does anyone know how (or if) to use it to make just gingerbread instead of cookies?

I personally want to take this time to thank you for running these threads every week. Your efforts to keep this club running is not only appreciated at this time of year, but all year long.

Thanks for everything -

Theresa

Just popping in to say "hi" and Merry Christmas!

Finally back from the in-laws and making some gift deliveries. Time to get the little peeps to bed so the DH & I can finish all the Santa prep. We have both Christmas brunch w/my fam and Christmas dinner with his here tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a blessed and restful holiday.

I too want to thank you for moderating and keeping the Fri nit cake club going. I just finished more christmas ball cupcakes and a gift cake and I am exhausted. I finally have a chance for some quiet time and CC.

Luv Ya! Merry Christmas... or Happy what ever Holiday you celebrate.

Merry Christmas all....no cakes this weekend...made mint stixs and making homemade rustic breads to go with soup tomorrow.
It is time to turn in all, or Santa won't come. good night

Merry Christmas everyone!

Yawn! I was working on a 2 tier topsy turvy for Sunday, "playing Santa" and trying to catch up on the mess I made between the cake that was delivered today, the cake I'm working on, all of the wrapping, and just the plain old havoc two littles can cause! I think that i had too much caffeine today b/c I should be down and out but I just can't get there...

Merry Christmas all!!!

daughter and I did our cookie baking (about 700-800 of them) on Tuesday so no baking today for me. I'm working (so to speak) at the hotel Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon, the 11pm to 7am shift, so my challenge will be getting off at 7am, doing my food prep for our christmas lunch, then heading over to see the grandkids at about 10a.m., doing the whole Christmas Day thing, then figuring out how to squeeze in some sleep before reporting back to work christmas night at 11pm. But ... it's an easy shift and I get paid to cruise CC!

I made some Rollo Pretzel candies (see photo on my flickr link below), brought some in to the hotel, and set them on the front desk for the guests to enjoy. I figure if people have to travel on christmas, they deserve a special treat!!!!

Just finished filling the stockings and putting presents under the tree.....

My almost twelve year old daughter and I decorated a two layer poppy seed cake last night. I knew I wanted a tree on the cake but green didn't seem to be the right color. Since my daughter and volunteer at our local aqaurium together I asked her if blue was okay. She loved the idea. I wasn't getting the tree right so she took over. So cute.

I try to make this flavor of cake every year. My grandmother would make it when I was growing up. She told my mom that the poppy seeds absoultly had to be ground. She was right--it makes for amazing flavor.

Leah thanks for hosting this forum and Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

Happy Christmas to all. I obviously skidded out of the thread last night for some down time. Glad to see a couple of newcomers to the FNCC pop in and visit with some regulars as well.

As for next week, NYE, not sure. we generally like to go out for a while but we also like to be home before the drunks get out on the roads.

Our family has gown very small over the years. I have one daughter and she lives close by, so we see her all the time. She's coming over in a few.

Eat cake! Drink eggnog! Let the wrapping paper fly!

merry christmas all!! just got back in from my moms and glad to be home but had a wonderful holiday!!
