Foodie Friday: Holiday Baking ~ Recipes & Gifts For Bakers


Oh the memories of Christmas at my Mother's! We all couldn't wait to run down the stairs, where she kept her many tins of cookies. I think the poor girl would bake every day during the month of December. She had to, we ate all of her goodies before she could wrap them as gifts. Then there were the Coconut Cakes and yes, Fruit Cakes. I loved them all. This post is for any of you that enjoy baking, has a baker on their list, or just loves a sweet treat.


HERE: 21 Sweet Treats & Gifts

Christmas Thyme Cookies
A modern take on a classic butter cookie. They are taken to another level with tart lemon and fragrant thyme. Sounds like a cookie made in heaven! And don't you just love the title?
BHG

Peppermint Red Velvet Cake
Now this is Christmas on a platter to me. This bright red cake is topped with white chocolate butter cream.

Mint, Pink, & Gold Macarons
{Gluten Free}
These are certainly #ChristmasCookieGoals. This is an unusual link for me. The link doesn't take you to the recipe at first, it tells a story about just how much of a pain making macarons can be. Then once you are challenged, it links you up to a recipe. I just thought they were way to pretty not to include in this roundup.

Eggnog Sugar Cookies
Eggnog fans like myself, are going to go crazy over these easy holiday bites. And that frosting? It also features eggnog and cream cheese. Yum!

Personalized Cake Pan
I don't have one of these. Do you?

Star Mint Meringues
Cool, sweet, melt in your mouth treats. I wish that I wasn't so intimidated by a piping bag!

Gingerbread Cake and Cupcakes With Caramel Cream Cheese Buttercream
This recipe had me at that frosting! Could a cake or cupcake be any cuter?
Half Baked Harvest 

Children's Enamel Bakeware Set
Made especially for children, this set is stackable, lightweight, and can be used on the stovetop or in the oven. Trust me, this set will bake someone happy!

Holiday Cupcakes
Said to be sweet but not overly so, these fancy little cakes are golden! You can find the dressy scalloped wrappers at Pelemele and the glitter antlers HERE
Bakers Royale  


White and Gold Canisters
Hide and chic. Any baker knows that at this time of year, they need their pantry provisions close at hand. These create a modern mix that is countertop chic!
CB2 


Pastel Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Trees
Well, aren't these the prettiest little cookies that you ever did see? The combination of the cinnamon, butter and a little salt makes these cookies something special. From

Gingerbread Scones
Doing a Holiday Tea or Brunch? Serve these. Said to be delicately flavored, so you won't feel like you are eating one big Christmas cookie.
 Sprinkle Bakes  


Christmas Donuts
I could eat a donut any time of day or night, and on any holiday. These are especially nice for Christmas morning. Besides, I hear that Santa likes donuts better than cookies. Bake these in your own oven. The kids will just love sprinkling the sprinkles.
What's Gabby Cooking

Chocolate-Almond Meringues
{ Gluten Free }
A tempting treat for those keeping a gluten free diet or not. By the way, if you haven't tried making meringues, they are super easy. Just be sure to carve out a good chunk of baking time.
Good Housekeeping  


Baking Custom Rubber Stamp
Each stamp is personalized with the name of your favorite baker, and designed with a lot of love! Such an unique gift.
Substation Paperie 


Candy Cane Brownie Cookies
I call this recipe semi-homemade. You start with a brownie mix for the cookies. Then top them with a white chocolate peppermint frosting that comes together quickly with the help of some Hershey Kisses.  If you aren't really a baker, this recipe is for you!

Fish's Eddy Gilded Petit Four Stand
From the iconic NYC home store, this tiered stand was inspired by old hotel serverware. It's a bit Chanel-ish to me, and that is a good thing!

Cookie Decorating How To's
Works of edible art like these cookies can be mastered at home, if you have the right tools. WS gives us a step by step tutorial on baking our own creations.
