sweet cravings on a holiday season

September 10, 2012 12:28am CST
BER months is here already, and here in the Philippines, we always look forward to this season, you can feel that Christmas is just hundred days or less away. I as a student have my own tradition were i get to save money every week starting September up to December. it is in line with my will to save money so that i get to buy the things in my wishlist or at least some of them. But the best reason why I look forward to this season is because of the sweets my mother used to bake. imagine making A fruit cake on September, brushing it with brandy week after week until December... Isn't it mouth watering??? how about you guys? what are your sweet cravings??

I'm not really into sweets, so i don't look forward to the fruit cake. In fact I'm not a fan of fruit cake. I love cheese, however, and i like keso de bola the most. It's something that i look forward to every Christmas season.

guess we are opposite then, i'm not into keso de bola, it doesn't suite my taste-buds. anyway, we have different food to look forward to, ADVANCE MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU :)

I have started my Christmas season planning (budget, what I am going to make, and working on my craft projects). The things I am looking forward to making are my late mother-in-law's fudge, snowball cookies, gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies). If possible could you send me a private message me the recipe for your fruitcake. It sounds delicious.

Hmmm! Yummy and delicious! I also love cakes. But aside from this I would love preparing salad, refrigerated cake, gelatine and leche flan. My children would love to have all these foods on the table. Especially during this Christmas season.

I always carving for strawberry cheesecake made by mu husband and ube jam made by my mother every Christmas. They are really good in making desserts and makes my heart melt when i tasted it. They only cook these desserts during Christmas season and they made sure to make it more delicious and worth to crave of.

Mmmm that's really mouthwatering. I hope you're just my neighbor. LOL. I don't crave yet nowadays. I am only looking forward to Christmas. I don't know what to prepare as early as September. If it's already a week before Christmas, that's the time we decide on what to prepare. I'm a bit excited now but I guess I can't be with my family on Christmas. I'll just spend New Year with them. Happy mylotting.

I make my own cookies and cream dessert which my kids and my husband's nieces and nephews look forward to. Aside from this, I love eating leche flan and of course the fruit salad that my mom makes.

Hi, For me its the fruit salad where you can mix all kinds of fruits at hand: mango, jackfruit, avocado, banana, watermelon, buko, put in lots of cream and milk with ice and there you go, my favorite sweets for all seasons. Beats the ice cream crave and more nutritious too.

Nah, Fruit cakes are really not for me, I'm just not a fan, though, I love everything else, be it a mango float, a Christmas strawberry sorbet, or a fruit salad. Even the worse cooks in our family gets it right with sweets!
