Do you still do alot of holiday baking?

I do still bake a Christmas time. It seems there are always some dropping in so it is nice to have a freezer full of decorative containers with different baked goods to put out during entertaining. I love to make Nanaimo bars as usual. Shortbread cookies, fruit bread, gingerbread and this year, chocolates. I am so into learning how to make the perfect cream filled chocolate. Such fun. Right now I basically just make the peanut butter filled chocolates which still are so very very good. I am going to try some new recipes that I have come across and try to bake things that are a bit more healthier than just the norm. Adding oat bran, whole wheat flower, nuts and seeds. I haven't really made my list of what I am going to bake for this Christmas season but is something I have on my list of things to do.

I still bake for the holidays but not as much as I used to because the kids are all grown up now and "health conscious" so they don't eat as many sweets. If I make too much, I eat it myself! Not a good thing... I still make pumpkin pies and chocolate cake, though. It wouldn't be the holidays without them.

No I have never baked as I am not very good at it but my Grandmother was brilliant at baking and I can still smell it now when she used to bake the Christmas Biscuits and all that I used to love it

I enjoy cooking at Christmas time and it seems that I always get in the mood to bake just before the holidays and so we will make cookies and candies. I personally enjoy a chocolate cherry cookie that a friend of ours gave us the recipe to and i know we will make it and sugar cookies, but I am also hoping to make cream cheese mints this year. My grandmother made them and we always enjoyed them as a child. I hope that my kids will have the same memories.

We sure do. Every year for the last couple of years we make a point of it. Our family gathers most of the kids. That's usually 10 or so. And we bake cookies most of the day. Then we pass them out to neighbors and such for gifts. It is a fun time.

It seems to me that my holiday baking increases each year. i make something once for the holidays and the family just expects me to continue. i do like to try new things to bake for the holidays, but i still have my traditions too.

I don't do the baking in my family, my mother does. She does all kinds of Danish holiday baking, and makes sure to give me a tin of it every year for Christmas.

I bake cookies every year. My hubbys employees just love getting my cookies as gifts. I have even had some offer to pay me to make extras.

I bake cookies for friends and family. I'm always looking for good low fat cookies, as my husband and I enjoy eating cookies. He loves oatmeal raisin, so there are some of them. My daughter likes to make cookie cutter cookies, so her friends get some of them.

Oh yeah, I still do and thanks to having the whole month of December off, I will continue to do so..I don't know if I have a favorite thing to bake. I bake my almost completely homemade pumpkin pie, (I am making one this weekend for my son next week), And of course peanut butter fudge is a most around here and of course cookies...:)

I used to do a ton of baking cookies and things this time of year. I'd even start the weekend of Thanksgiving and mix batches to freeze then I'd just have to bake them closer to Christmas. But life has changed, people have left and now it is only me and I don't want to eat that whole batch myself! But I am going to be doing a little these next few days for Christmas eve day next week. I am planning on some cookie balls (dough rolled into ball) and then dipped in cohcolate with candy cane chips on top. ANd some red/green cupcakes with ganache piped inside and cream cheese frosting on top with some little reindeer sugar decorations on top. Possibly if things go well.. I'll do some meringue cookies and brown paper bag bread. Maybe I think now... I'll do the brown paper bag bread and take that with me for the meal. The kids will love it!

No I really don't do any holiday baking. It's not really a tradition I ever started. I don't know a lot of people who'd enjoy getting baked gifts, and I don't usually have the time or patience for baking. I used to bake cookies and such on a whim whenever I felt like it, but I haven't in over a year, since I started trying to be healthier. Baking would make me eat all the treats, and I just can't do that!

I love to bake whether it is a holiday or not, I especially love to bake cookies and cake. Right now, I am practicing how to make fondant to cover a cake. I want to learn how to make fondant, so I will "know" how to make it! I just love sweets...so I don't bake often, because i just sit there and eat it all up!! ;)

I don't typically do a lot of baking just for the holidays, but I bake regardless. I like to cook and bake, so I'm constantly making crumbles, cupcakes, cookies, tarts, whatever strikes me. I look up recipes on line or in books and see what looks delicious, and then try it out. My family loves to eat what I cook, so I'm always baking. My favorite thing to bake is cheesecake. It's so rich and creamy, and I made one for last thanksgiving. This thanksgiving, I think I might bake a blueberry tart or pie, though. Yum.

I haven't baked for Christmas since I was a little girl and my mom would bake cookies with me and my sister. We'd get the cookie cutters and make bell shaped cookies and angel shaped cookies. But this year I'm going to bake some cookies, and make them from scratch. Then, I plan on taking them to some people in my church, and my parent's next door neighbors. They have been close to our family since they moved in 12 years ago. And I want to share my appreciation. I think I'll also make some for my apartment manager.

i DON'T BAKE LIKE I USE TO. i USUALLY BAKE WHAT MY KIDS LIKE INSTEAD OF MY FAVE WHICH IS CHOCOLATE PIE. I make a desert called chocolate majesty that all the kids like.I usually make the kid nect door some chess squares & enough for my bunch to. I have friends & family that like pecan pies to. Use to have refreshments every day the last week before Christmas at the sto0re so since i don't have the store anymore that cuts out alot of my cooking.

Yes, but I mostly do puddings and cakes. Out culture is not into cookies. I also do a fabulous dessert called a Pavlova and my special chicken recipe called Coronation chicken - that is a winner. The only pie/tart I make is an apple one called Canterbury Tart. The kids expect this at Christmas and I love to do it as I do not cook much. whoever is at home cooks for me

My mother used to make 15 different types of cookies! She'd make dozens of each! She did this till she couldn't anymore. My sister, 6 years older than I started making candy and fudge. I made nothing. Why should I. It'd built in. Both my husband and I like to make bread. He is excellent at it. I bake more different types of bread at Christmas. Pumpkin bread, zucchini bread, sage and thyme bread to name a few. Let the holidays begin!:)

Its amazing that you asked this question, because I used to bake four 10 families each year until my 18th birthday. I started during my last year in elementary, and have steadily baked 92 cakes for these families. To make matters a bit more harder, these cakes were iced and decorated as well, as people tended to compliment about the cakes. Christmas is the usual time for me to bake these cakes, as the jolly holidays give me more time at home and with my family. I'm thinking about baking brownies for the next three holiday seasons coming in January.
