I am done with Christmas baking and decorating the cakes. I am contented with the result. I have used some of the sugar cookies/biscuits, which I have decorated last night, as toppers of the Christmas cakes. Gladfully, I have saved some of the cookies before the Cookie Monster could eat them. Now I am so tired. I have no idea how many hours I spent in the kitchen today. Tomorrow, we have our Christmas dinner at home. I have to do the cooking again. Thankfully, it is only the 3 of us. Anyway, how was your Wednesday? Were you busy, too? Thanks for reading. It is midnight now. I will catch up with you tomorrow. Goodnight for me. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!!!

Thanks @DianneN. You flattered me. My husband said last night when he saw the cake, " it's looking like a landscape." I will be cleaning the house before I will make the Christmas dinner for tonight.

Your cake is just so cute - very festive!! Do not be surprised if the Cake Monster comes out . It is tiring to be in the kitchen for so long, but your efforts will be completely worth it. We are busy baking some cookie gifts today .

@thelme55 We had a nice Christmas - I hope you and your family did too! All the cookies we made were given away - and our stash is nearly gone by now . But well, we can always do more baking !

Very pretty cake. Is it too late to order one made for tomorrow, lol? That's okay many of us are during. Maybe I'll show you cake when it's time for dessert. Glad you could keep the cookie monster at Bay. I'm my house that would be my husband. We are getting the turkey cleaned up and stuffed tonight and having our meal early tomorrow afternoon at my daughter's house. We're hoping we can carry the turkey to the car and not spill any juices. To help us out we may make some of the extra juices out after it's cooked. Enjoy these days with your family.

@thelme55 we did have a nice dinner and a good time visiting and playing a video game together afterward and after the baby was put too bed although we had to keep sushing ourselves to not wake him up.

Thank you very much @MarshaMusselman. It is indeed to late to order.. It would be funny to see the faces of your friends when you just show a photo of this cake for dessert. My hubby is my cookie monster. Your food sounds delicious. I am sure you had a wonderful Christmas dinner.

Yes, it is a moist chocolate cake @Cheyee. I will make roast chicken, lumpia Shanghai, veggies, salad and a hazelnut cake for dessert. I still don't know if I will make rice or potatoes. I have to ask my men. Thank you very much.
