Holiday Baking Rules

—

Do you do holiday baking? Do you give baking to other people? If so, you must have holiday baking rules.

We have just one: residents of the house have to eat the ugly ones. The misshapen cookies, the lopsided tarts, the pastry that got a bit too brown, the sad-looking sausage rolls – all of these are available to household residents, with no restrictions.

But touch the pretty ones, and you’re in big big trouble.

Guests, of course, only ever see the pretty ones.

What are your holiday baking rules? And what do you bake?

    LOL – I made cupcakes for a shindig last Saturday. Of the 20 that were baked (they were larger than normal), only about 16 made it to the party because I didn’t pipe the icing on very well.

    So yes, only pretty ones go out the door.

    Nowadays, it’s hard to bake for others. Too many dietary restrictions and such.

    The pretty ones go out the door, the others get test tasted to death. 😉

    No baking this year. Just no umph to do it.
