Christmas Cookies Exchange 2012

Hi!!!

I had the opportunity in co-hosting 2012 Christmas Cookies Exchange party with my wonderful friend Belinda at my house. We had 6 other delightful ladies who came over and exchanged the cookies as well as the laughter!   Their cookies were unbelievably delicious!!!  Thanks to those sharing the recipes of all cookies!   I am looking forward to next year 2013 Christmas Cookies Exchange to be held at my amazing sister-in-law Bonnie's place!   I had to post the pictures of their cookies and my very first Egg Nog cupcakes! Yes, that's right!!!!  Frosting was not working out as I wanted to, but lucky for the ready made frosting I bought and used on the cupcakes!!!

Ladies brought in homemade Christmas cookies!

Hi!!!  

I apologized for not being in touch lately. Just so much things going on! I never get to make cupcake over Thanksgiving due to illness in the family...

Thanksgiving was fabulous!  It was great seeing all other family members and the children are growing too fast!  Pictures, pictures are just a MUST!

However, I got to make Panama Spongecake(aka. Tres Leches which means 3 milk).  I made it from the website that my daughter Kayla researched for her Social Studies class on Panama and its food culture. She chose this and had me made it for her class. Her class ate the whole of the cake and leave nothing for me and her daddy!  I'll most definitely going to make it again for my two other daughters who will be home for Christmas break!    Enjoy this recipe from the link below!
