Reindeer sugar cookies!
Since I found out about sugar cookies (thanks pinterest of some years ago) I have been making them every christmas. But this year I finally upped my icing game and actually tried to make them pretty. Normally I just do snowflakes and try to smush some white icing on and call it a day, or make 'gingerbread men' and do a face and buttons (see profile pic). This year I actually got out the piping bag and made these reindeer look pretty good.
They aren't professional quality, but im just a home baker that had nothing better to do on christmas eve.

Pumpkin Bread
It's been a long time since I last posted (or really baked anything)
I didn't want to just throw out my pumpkins this year, but I have never cooked with pumpkin before either.
I made lots of pumpkin purée and made pumpkin bread with some of it

And they are chocolate covered ( as well as half the cookies I made yesterday as I had a lot of chocolate left over - hopefully they will be ok)
Chocolate Mints
Made chocolate mints today as part of the christmas baking for 2021. It's about the only thing I can make this long before christmas that wont have started going off by the big day.

Batch 1 wasnt minty enough, I don't think I put enough peppermint extract in them to really taste it over the sugar. Batch 2 has probably 75% of the bottle in it (whatever wasn't used in batch 1) and definately tastes of mint now. Kind of hoping it increases overnight whilst drying so this batch will blow your head off with mint, but only time will tell.

Chocolate Cherry Cookies
I wanted to make christmas cookies, but it's a bit too early for that and I don't go into the office enough currently for them to be eaten quick enough (only me at home to eat them compared to an office of over 30 peoples).
Instead I made chocolate cherry cookies, which I may have slightly overbaked. But if it's just me eating them it doesn't really matter anyway.

I made Pretzels
I made 12, but they are so damned good I already ate 3.
Normally i just buy them from lidl's bakery section, but my store doesn't seem to make enough and had none when I went there today. Decided it cant be that hard to make them myself, and now I don't think I will buy them again (at least not for eating at home - if i'm out they are still ok).

Christmas Chocolate Bark
My mum was meant to come visit today but she works in a care home where there is a lot of COVID and didn't want to risk possibly passing it to me since I don't really have anyone to look after me where I live (90min drive from my family).
Since I had been planning on doing stuff with her I didn't really know what to do with myself today. So Christmas chocolate Bark happened, as well as some minty meringues which may have been slightly overcooked.
Melted 400g of dark chocolate, put it on baking paper on a big tray and the covered in crushed peppermint candy cane, star shaped pretzels, sweet and salty popcorn, white mini marshmellows, and some christmas sprinkles I had lying around from last year.

I finally did some baking again after so long of not really feeling it.
Wanted to make something for the season so here is...
Orange cake 'pumpkins' and chocolate cake (an attempt at pumpkin patch kind of thing). I put some orange curd in the middle too - because I had some and didn't know what else to do with it 😋. Orange buttercream icing, that was meant to lend the idea of pumpkin more, and instead looked kinda splodgy instead.
They taste good and really that's all that matters.
Big issue with this is they are not the healthiest of bakes, and there is only me to eat them. If COVID hadn't forced me into working from home I would probably have taken them to work (maybe have made them look a bit better too) and felt a bit better about making such sweet stuff.

What better way to celebrate my birthday and the beginning of pride month than with a rainbow cake.
Decorations were not quite how i wanted, but shopping is hell during this pandemic (i didnt want to queue up in the sun for forever) so i did what i could - even if it does look a bit baconny.

Not really baking, but I did manage to make something that tasted good at the weekend.
It's a chicken stewy/soupy/mush thing. It was really good considering I didn't know what I was doing in the end 😋
Definately redeemed myself when it comes to food after the disaster cake.

Apple and Pear cake
Forgot to post it, but i made a pear and apple cake last weekend. Needed to use up some pears as they were rather gross.
I think they managed to make the cake taste bad too as it's not the nicest cake I have ever made.

I made scones!
Wanted to make them for years, but kept putting it off. Didnt come out the best, but still edible. Next time I need to add fruit or choc chips or something to make them better... and actually read the instuctions properly.
I actually made these 2 weekends ago, but forgot to post as braining is hard.

Forgot to post these at the weekend. Made more biscotti, as its sooo good, since that left me with some egg yolks I made some more lava cakes (and regretted it minutes later, they are so rich).
Also made some cinnamon / chelsea buns. Put a few too many into the tin so they are a bit close textured since they couldn't spread out so much. But still taste good which is the main thing.
Glad I made so much, as found out I'm going to be travelling for work next week so not much point in baking things I won't have time to eat.

Chocolate, cranberry, raison 'biscotti' rolls
Not quite biscotti, not quite a roll, it's a mixture of the two - because I'm too lazy to cut them into slices half way through cooking.😋 But still too good to let cool enough so now I have burnt fingers too 😕

Chocolate Lava Cakes
Last night I decided to make some lava cakes, still not sure why. Undercooked them a bit so definately more lava than cake. Really rich and chocolatey which was good (would have been better if I hadnt just eaten baked potato with probably more cheese than potato 😋 )
