...and the joy they bring.

This blog is all about the little things in life and the joy they bring. There are so many things that pass you by quickly or that are always around and you don't notice them with the busy nature of life at times. I'm collecting images, sounds, moments, stories of all those little things that bring me joy. I don't want to miss a beat. I hope they can also bring some warmth to your heart.

Christmas Baking is Back!!!!

Posted 6 months ago

It’s almost that time of year again and I’m pumped about the boxes of baked goods I do every year for friends and family. This year I’ll be taking out a few items, keeping the ones that “hit it for 6”, and adding a few new items like my Double Vanilla Cupcakes, Carrot Cupcakes and Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cupcakes. A few people are requesting the Banana Almond Crumble, so I may do that. Before Christmas I want to experiment on truffles, macaroons and lace cookies. We’ll see how it goes. I’ll keep you posted ;).

I’m also getting a brand new style of box to package the goods, and ribbon and tissue paper. Yes I know it’s obvious that I’m over the moon about this stuff, haha! I can’t wait to post new pics of everything. I’ve also had the chance to do more baking this year and improve on a few things like my Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies, frosting my cupcakes, trying out different ingredients and getting my hands on better ingredients (thankfully), so I’m definitely pumped. This year will be times better!!!
