Spent yesterday on my holiday baking: I ended up going with Grandma DeConnick's anise cookies and Chockylit's Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes with Fennel Cream Cheese Icing. I topped the cupcakes with chocolate-covered cherries purchased from Nuts Online. (Fraction pointed out that it's amazing that they got that url.) The cupcake recipe is available at the Cupcake Blog.
Also on the Homemaking Arts bent: my meathead hat was chosen for Larissa's book! Very exciting -- except that now I'm going to need to knit another one as the meathead has become my default hat this winter and my head will freeze without it. No worries. I think I'll make a black and purple one to go with my coat.
Shall we plan on starting the bookclub in January? I hate to add to anyone's stress during the holiday season.
I'm about to order some cupcake cups from this site (per Chockylit''s suggestion).
I also want some gift boxes, or... something. Joann's and Micheals are way out in the OP and I'd rather not make the drive, so I'm looking for an online source.
Anybody have experience with either of these sites? Or, anybody have a better suggestion?
(I think I'm going to bake cupcakes and biscotti, but I'm not 100% certain yet.)
