Still questioning why I do these every year

12/26/2019

I have a story this year on my cookies. Several years ago a neighbor had a red pickup truck that he used for all kinds of hauling. He took down some pine trees in his yard and loaded them in the back of the truck to take to recycle. I took a picture of it and jokingly called it his Chia truck. Well this year I made a red pickup and added it to the cookies I give to him every year. He called me and told me he couldn't eat that cookie because it looked too much like his old truck. He couldn't say Thank you enough. That really made my day. I posted the pics of both.

Would someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me why I should continue to torture myself doing these? No matter how I try I cannot get the right consistency. It's either too thick or to thin. It looks right in the bowl but not out of the bag. I'm almost too embarrassed to give these to anyone. I love to bake and I decorate cakes very well. These cookies though will be the death of me.

My latest. The cake is a vanilla cake filled with strawberries and whipped cream and iced with whipped cream. The cupcakes are vanilla with SMB for a local college student.

Warning.....lol. If you are even slightly diabetic I'm afraid just looking at this cake will raise your blood sugar. 3 layer devil's food. Chocolate buttercream filling, vanilla buttercream covering it. After I decorated it though it weighed a ton. There is way too much icing on it. I have since removed most of it.

My last 4 baking adventures. First is a 3 layer deep chocolate cake with ermine icing. Second is a couple pineapple upside down cakes. Those are home made maraschino cherries. The last are creme brulee macarons...filled with french buttercream and home made caramel. It's no wonder Steve and I carry around a few extra pounds. Almost forgot the baklava I made last week. 😳

The house smells amazing right now. I tried my hand at Baklava today. This is fresh out of the oven. Need to let it sit now for 4+ hours to let all the honey soak in. That's gonna be the hard part. I hate having to wait for things to cool.
