My cupcakes were a success!!!

I have always wanted to learn baking but when I was young this facility was not available to me."Better late than never" isn't it? Now I know to bake ; I have a microwave ovenw ith 'convestion' in it and I diligently watch cookery demonstrations. There are a few experts in baking and I have noted down their recipes and my cashew cookies, ginger biscuits, butter biscuits, coconut cookies are supposed to be divine as certified by my family. I follow instructions very strictly and this is the reason for my success.

I love to bake and I love to bake even more if it's a gift! Glad your cupcakes went over well, I'm sure they were great because they were made with love :) For Christmas, my mom requested my chocolate dipped cookies. I just make nestle chocolate chip cookies and then dip half of them in melted chocolate. I made them 1x before and the family went nuts over them. So my mom special requested them this year. Even when I don't chocolate dip them, my mom always requests my chocolate chip cookies. I guess I made them so much that I have it down pat :) I can usually make them without even reading directions, but I do anyway just to be sure. Today I spent the whole day (on and off) making Chicken Enchiladas. We are going to my mom's tomorrow and that's another meal I made 1x and everyone loved it so much that now they request it. I love to try new recipes, but it is nice to have something everyone actually ASKS for!

My sister used to come to town and start baking. She'd make these tea rings for all of my mom's neighbors and some other friends. My sister is a good baker. I make a mean soup, but that's not always something you want to give as a gift.

Aww! That was so nice of you! I know the feeling It seems I am always braoke at Christmas time! That sounded like a very nice thing that you did. All that baking1 Sheeew! I bet you were tired! Me and my mom had bought those Cookie Tins at the dollar store and instead of putting the cookies in it we put some different kinds of Mexican Candies in it for my aunt and uncle and they just loved it!

That is great that everyone loved your cupcakes. It goes to show that it isn't all about money or big gifts. I used to bake a lot but gave it up over the past ten years or so. I still do a little but nothing like I used to.

That's so good. A gift that involves our hard work and good feelings is always the best and a lot better than any market brought gift. It's a great feeling to see your thing getting so much appreciated. Keep it up.

hmmm cup cakes, I love them, I love the way some people decorate them, they decorate them in such a way they are just too hard to resist, and seeing as I am not a good cook I would love cup cakes given to me for Christmas.

I haven't done any baking in years! When I was in high school, I used to bake lots of things, especially bread. I'm glad that you were able to keep everyone happy by doing the baking. It is nice to be able to do that. My niece did make cookies here a couple of times while she was visiting, but other than that, there was no baking.

I Am so glad your cupcakes were so welcome! I'm sure they know you made them with love and nothing tastes better than that! I did not much baking this year in fact on Christmas day[ I only had a chance to put the turkey in the oven] before my girls chuck me out of the kitchen! they did every thing including cleaning after wards! so I was a pretty girl for the day. Wishing you and family the best for 2012 big hug.

yes I bake at holidays and I make all the kids and grandkids a cake for their birthdays.Flavor of their choice.My most requested is my strawberry or red velvet cake.Hubby always goes with the strawberry as it is his favorite.

I love to bake! my best success was the cheesecake with carmelized orange skin! All people loved this and nobody could believe I made something so delisious at home ;)

CONSOLATIONS! I really have fun sometimes baking cupcakes,chiffon cakes,chocolate cake or even cookies. This yuletide season I baked for my Family and relatives.
