                    Instagram post 2198780914054777499_39042094 Popping in to say hello and share one of my favorite places to visit.⁠📚
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Welcome to the cookbook section of my local library here in Norfolk, VA. I visit Slover Library every month or so, and I always have such a wonderful time. It's a great day off for me, and if you haven't checked out the cookbook section in your local library, I encourage you to do so!⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Reading more was my New Year's Resolution for last year, and getting my library card for Norfolk has been so helpful in assisting me in that goal. I had no idea a cookbook section could be so extensive! I always come home with two or three new cookbooks to read.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Also, I get a new sewing or knitting book every time I go over so I am always reading and learning more about my favorite things. When is the last time you visited your library? And if you aren't really happy with the selection close to you, check out different branches or go to a different city like I did. I have to drive a bit further, but it's always worth the trip.⁠⠀

                    Instagram post 2198344215881570298_39042094 Meet the Christmas Cupcake of your dreams. 🧁
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
These beautiful cupcakes are delicious vanilla cakes frosted high with almond flavored buttercream. They are finished with the prettiest sprinkles in all the land, and my full story on them includes a printable recipe as well as a complete video on how to make them. ⁠⠀

.⁠⠀
You know you want to bake them.⁠⠀

                    Instagram post 2197472867403629773_39042094 Kittens and Christmas go soooo well together. 🐱🌲⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
This cutie is semi homemade and stuffed full of chocolate. Oh yeah. Crispy, yummy, easy. Like REALLY easy and you are not going to wonder what you got yourself into 10 minutes into the recipe. The best part is that these darling hand pies are totally customizable. You can make them any shape you like and just about any sort of filling is good in them. ⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
I made a complete recipe tutorial video that is on my blog with a printable recipe. A simple click to my bio to help you get right there.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Enjoy and share your bakes with me!!⁠⠀

                    Instagram post 2196628137237224729_39042094 Newest cupcake recipe and video are published and awaiting your views. 🤩And it's a Christmas Cupcake!⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
I used a cake from @sallysbakeblog and my own version of American Buttercream Frosting to go on top. It's pretty much a match made in heaven. Wrappers and sprinkles from @joann_stores.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
I see so many over the top cakes and cupcakes these days here on the gram. Honestly. I think it's getting to be a little too much. Nobody needs a 9 layer cake. (I saw that this morning 😳) I'll stick with a well baked cake and simple swirls of frosting, because if all of that is done properly, it's more than enough. Hot link to more on this cake and my thoughts of the current state of holiday baking on the NEW blog!! It's not really ready, but I'm putting it out there anyway. lol⁠⠀

                    Instagram post 2195130806276832366_39042094 Now that we are in the thick of cookie season, may I present my beautiful Christmas tree. 🎄
.
.
It’s not really a cookie but a tiny little pie. 🥰 they are made cutting the dough with cookie cutters and using a filling of your choice. I went with chocolate for these. Add sparkling sugar and pretty sprinkles of your choice. 🤩
.
.
I posed this little tree in a now vintage cookie dish given to be as a gift one year back in the 70s from one of my mom’s friends. I’ve enjoyed getting out all my vintage treasures out this year. They make Christmas a lot more cozy. ❤️💛
