Okay, let’s for a moment forget this is a decor blog. Why? Because this post is only about food, Xmas goodies to be precise. I have been on a baking spree. Come, see!
 |
| I started out with a mammoth shopping spree …ingredients for the goodies! |
I started by baking a batch of gingerbread. I did not have cookie cutters, so I used my daughter’s playdoh cutters, and they worked well. Read more about it here, at Anu’s blog!

| Cooled and iced by a little 4 year old. |
Next, it was time to make the marshmallows. I loved the way they have turned out.
 |
| Cutting them carefully, after they “sat” overnight on my dining table. |
A friend came over on Friday evening, and I only had sweet stuff at home, so I baked some of these soya-corn-cheese profiteroles…yumm!

…and finally, on Sunday afternoon I baked these heavenly Sweet Cinammon Bows

| The bows in the bake…and oh! the aroma of cinnamon that wafted through the house! |
I am sorry I don’t have pretty pics of my goodies arranged on nice Xmassy dishies 🙂 Truth is, they didn’t really get past the cooling rack. I plan to make fresh batches of everything, and wrap them up prettily to give to our neighbors before I go on my Xmas break. Will share pics of those of course! 🙂
Linking to our own Xmas Carnival, and also to Pat’s weekend event.

Ooh, I am taking the next flight to Pune before they disappear :).
