Hi everyone! Other than Jack's cake, which I already posted this week, I have only made other goodies for Christmas. I made a bread Santa, Brownies and learned how to make Chocolate Churros! But no cake.
I'm heading out the door to a family event but will be checking back in here later tonight...and, of course, tomorrow morning over my coffee!
Hope everyone had a great week!

So happy to say that I have no more cakes until January 11th. I'm officially on winter sabbatical and can finally get organized around the house. Tomorrow is cookie baking time. Happy Holidays to all. Rest up. 2015's wedding season is just a few months away.

Same here, my next order isn't until January 3rd! This is my first order free week in a while but with Christmas coming there's been plenty of stuff to make for the kid's teachers and friends. I've been concentrating on making something fun. I decided on marshmallows. These are coffee flavored marshmallows with chocolate stripes and sprinkles to be festive. Today I made raspberry and then green tea flavored marshmallows.
ALol, what a funny cake story about Santa's crash landing, cazza1! I am also done with cakes for the year *sigh*. Yesterday I had my last big (and very successful!) craft fair. Had a little german christmas cookie stall next to my other stuff to advertise my cakes and cupcakes (i couldn't bring samples, just had my portfolio there) which sold out in no time!!! Now I'm on holiday till 2015! Yeah
ALol love the santa story!
This is a cake I made as a present for my daughter's teacher

Its my last cake this year, unless I make myself something for my birthday (boxing day) but I'm not feeling inspired!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
A[IMG]http://www.cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3315031/width/200/height/400[/IMG] I haven't even started christmas cakes yet! I'm still doing birthday cakes... This customer changed their mind on the design 48hrs before the delivery date. Thankfully it was for a friend!!
AHehehe, speaking of birthdays...my friends got me one of these super fancy (and expensive) rolling pins with adjustable hight wheels on the sides. Wanted one forever and actually would have been handy to have had one to make the cookies (which I made 2 days before my birthday!). Rolling sugar cookies in 90'F isn't fun to start with, not getting them equally thick is pure pain. And I made 300! I love your cakes, petitecat and cara. Making presents for the teacher is sooo British, lol! I have to get used to that now
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.
I've been a bit slack about checking in or posting my photos lately. This is my SOS Santa for this year. There is a little bit of a blurb under it, explaining. If you are interested click on the photo.
you always have the best 'story' cakes -- awesome work -- i love all the action -- the details are amazing -- great stuff, cazza
and merry christmas to you and yours
Looks like everyone is looking forward to their breaks! I'll be cooking up a storm this week but no real baking involved! LOL!
@cazza1 HYSTERICAL Santa cake!
@Pastrybaglady those look SO yummy
@julia1812 Looks like a whole bunch of goodness there! I have one of those fancy rolling pins too! I never use it with the wheels, sad to say, but it's nice and heavy and works very well for fondant!
@petitecat That is one lucky teacher! My son is at the age where he has 7 different teachers now...no one single one to reward. I sorta miss those days.
@cara1982 I know several girls in my family...grown up and little...who would just ADORE that Princess cake!
@AileenGP Macarons are my new favorite cookie this year. I adore all the colors and flavors!
Lots of chocolate stuff for me this year, starting with my Christmas Fudge. One of those things I could never get away with not making for the holidays!
Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas (or are enjoying a very Happy Hanukkah right now) and HAPPY NEW YEAR! See you all back here on the 2nd!
love,
Cat

@sha1col I do miss having those weeks in an office. This week we are at our younger daughters house and celebrating that way. I'm enjoying a cup of coffee and a pumpkin muffin and later will be on the beach and then the Santa Cruz Boardwalk! So my own "Christmas in the Sand" which couldn't be more perfect for me. Tomorrow is Christmas Cookie day and our older daughter and our granddaughter will be joining us and the family will be complete!
Merry Christmas!
