Christmas Cookies
Still recovering from last year’s cookie-pocalypse, I baked just a few cookies this year.

Christmas Advent Calendar
I very stupidly decided to bake 24 different types of Christmas Cookies this year as a gift. More stupidly, I did not scale down any of my large batch annual Christmas cookies. Never Again!
Penguin Party!
I made some Penguin themed food for a Penguin Party.
Sugar Cookies
I made sugar cookies featuring the three types of Penguins.
Cake
This cake depicted an Adelie Penguin couple. One of them is setting on a nest of (chocolate) pebbles and the other one is at the bottom of the penguin highway.
Penguin Soup Bowl
I was inspired by Pinterest to make these bread bowls. I used this recipe for the bread bowl.
Christmas Cookies
I can no longer send a plate of Christmas cookies to my husband’s office because one of his colleagues will eat ALL the communal food before 10AM. Since I still want to send the rest of the people Christmas cookies, I decided to send everyone a personal cookie pack.
Everyone got a couple of sugar cookies (one with their initial), a couple of oatmeal cookies and a couple of chocolate chip cookies. The husband and I spent an hour wrapping all the packages.
I made slightly bigger packages for my assistants and some friends.
This is a package for people at my office.
I may have baked a few hundred cookies. I definitely used 5lbs of butter.

The Husband’s 33rd Birthday (Part 1)
The husband turned 33. Which is awesome because that is a palindrome in both decimal and binary (10001).
The day started with some pancakes with candles. The candles were supposed to stand up on their own, but they were too flimsy, so I just lay them flat. Not a v.g. start to the day.
He had asked for a Despicable Me party. The minions are his favorite. So, I threw him a minion party for two (three if you count Dave :D).
I attempted to make a minion with a banana cake. It came out looking more like a Frankenstein minion mashup. I still don’t have the hang of how to work the damn fondant.
In the movie, the three girls sell cookies. So I made him some cookies. The recipes are on
Cookie Close-ups:
I found the images of the cookie boxes online and printed them on a color printer, so he would know what he was eating.
And, of course, the cookie robots:
As a sidebar, in case you are wondering how does one bake 5 types of cookies simultaneously, I present organized baking :
We also had some drinks:
For dinner, we had a giant minion calzone:
The real icing on the cake for the party (or balloon in the sky, if you will) was that after his Birthday, we went to Miami for a couple of days and actually got to see the Minion blimp!
None of these ideas are mine. All inspiration links (mostly to little girl birthday parties – but don’t tell the husband 😉 ) can be found on this Pinterest board.
