Getting Started



















Today was the day to start getting my baking organized for Christmas. The fruit is soaking in brandy for the Christmas cake and pudding, I made four batches of shortbread dough ( coffee, chocolate , and two batches of cranberries ) and for the first time I tried making lemon Macaroons, I will have to try a few more times to get them right. Lots more to do but a least I have started. What have you been baking?

  1. You are so organised. All I've made this week is some flapjacks, but I hope to make a cake at some point too.

  2. I haven't been baking anything. We don't start preparing for Christmas that early in Greece.Besides, Greek Christmas sweets don't need time as pudding does. Melomakarona and kourambiedes are quick to make and bake. But I must say your photos got me thinking...

  7. You are very industrious! I have been wrapping a few presies to head Down Under! I imagine it's warming up over there now?
