Love is in the Air!

This morning I had to get up early and bake off 150 shortbread hearts for a wedding party tomorrow evening.  It will be shared by a woman's family whose son is getting married on Sunday.  This winter she tutored my daughter in exchange for goodies for a rehearsal dinner.

only small things

Shortbread are really fun to make and tasty to enjoy.  I also put together almost 60 brownies.  Yum!  I think this wedding party will be very sweet :)

 These brownies are wonderful as they really hold their moisture and are really wonderful to make ahead.  Great for a rehearsal dinner!

One more thing I created this morning, a batch of Gluten free brownies for my friends daughter who is experimenting with gluten free.  Cleaned everything with hot soapy water and on I went.  So far in the pan they look great!  I will get the taster test from E-Rose when she tastes these tasty morsels...

Did someone say bread :)

For the Love of Bread, this loaf makes me feel good about the world.  The whole loaf fell apart as I placed it into the oven and by chance when I opened it up it was the PERFECT heart shaped, I could not have succeeded as well if I had tried it. 

my friends were going to take great care of me so in return I made them... bread.  I love doing this for friends now

Some people get cake for their birthdays, I made bread for my 50th.

Welcome to my first attempt at blogging...

Welcome

I plan on using this site to share my love of baking.  I am hoping to bake all the regular things I have been doing for years and also experiment with some Gluten Free products.  I really feel it would be good for our family and also love to share the product with friends. In the past few months, I have need the support of my neighbors and thankfully my baking skills have saved me almost every time.  I do wish National Grid would take a loaf of bread for the electricity in my home, but alas, that is not the case. 

This morning I had to meet this wonderful woman who has helped me with my taxes every year and in return I needed to make her some scones.  What a wonderful way to start the day.  Here are some images of my product.

I love to get up early when my children are still sleeping and sometimes I play some wonderful music and enjoy mixing all these great ingredients together to create a product that will be enjoyed by other people. 
This mornings creation was Mixed Berry Scones with Gala Apples and honey topped. 
Yum!

Half an hour later the product was cooling and waiting to be packed while I ran out the door.  They were a big hit with my children also. 

Some homemade strawberry jam and we are all set.
