I start planning now for my desserts on Christmas day. So far, I'm looking at making a cranberry tart with creme fraiche, and I'm also looking at making a sheet cake that looks like a Christmas card. I don't know what flavor yet...maybe gingerbread-pineapple with a cream cheese frosting and chocolate molded trees and animals.
I don't gift cookies, or baked goods. My dau does the cookie baking and I'm fine with that.
