DH and I eat way too much if baked goodies are sitting around, a problem with many of us empty nesters. <br /><br />Even though we can buy something cheaper, the homemade things are the best, whether its a quilt or clothing or a wonderful Christmas cake. And nothing is better than the fragrance of baking Christmas treats. Looking forward to daughters coming home so we can do a bit of baking again. <br />Thanks for sharing some of your holiday preparations.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255216150275846123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953693419316837046.post-76693672752564826432011-12-10T22:57:31.139+10:302011-12-10T22:57:31.139+10:30ooohhh I really should think about putting the tre...ooohhh I really should think about putting the tree up at least ..lol...2 weeks away arrrggghhhh...need some of the brandy ( keep the cake) going to have a go at mince pies this year as I have found a half decent pastry so heres hoping...quiltygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01336235138214606914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953693419316837046.post-43352842821428158332011-12-08T16:35:21.102+10:302011-12-08T16:35:21.102+10:30Nothing like home made cake.

Even enough to make fruit mince pies. :) Not sure why i'm making them as i'm the only one who likes the cake & pudding. But my eldest daughter insisted. At least i know the pies a liked.
