The Joy of Baking

Peppermint, salted carmel, gumdrop and ginger.
The taste of the holidays!
We had a couple of weekends of spending
most of the day in the kitchen, baking up a storm.
... and cleaning the tornadic aftermath!
 Tyler and Maddie handled the construction of the houses.
The frosting was so weak - we almost added real glue : )

A couple of years ago I made a gumdrop tree.
It's simple and whimsical - perfect for kid hands to master!
(sugar "snow" in the jar, of course)
I am a popcorn fanatic.  
The pic below is a bit of heaven.
You can't say Paula Deen without saying one stick of butter.








We tried something new ... melting hard candies.
One idea was to melt lifesavers into a cane or wreath
and it's a completely edible ornament.
Let's just say I don't have any photos of those masterpieces.
