Russian Tea Cakes (also known as Mexican Wedding Cookies) remind me of miniature snowballs. In my family, we always make these at Christmas but they are also served at weddings.

I now make eggnog ice cream every holiday just to have these ice cream sandwiches. The combination of eggnog and ginger is a match made in heaven.

These light, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are bite-sized and dainty but the almond flavor packs a punch. When I was a kid, my mom made these every Christmas in the shape of Christmas trees, decorated with red and green sprinkles.

For my son’s 2nd birthday I made a tower of Sesame Street cupcakes topped with an Elmo cake. Decorated with frosting in bright primary colors the characters were easily identifiable and the kids loved being able to pick out their favorite character.

I recently had the opportunity to create a cupcake display for the 20th Annual Festival of Trees gala event in Port Angeles, Washington, a fundraiser benefiting Olympic Medical Center. The theme of the event was Let it Snow! Decorating over 400 cupcakes (both minis and regular-sized cupcakes) to match the theme was the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.

Use up leftover candy corn from Halloween by making these rice krispie treats in fun, autumn shapes. The trick to extra gooey treats is using a couple spoonfuls of marshmallow creme.
