I look forward to the holidays most of all
because it’s a time of delicious
indulgence and sugar-laden decadence.
It’s also the only time of the year it’s
completely acceptable to balance a
piece of cake in one hand and several
cookies in another. In fact, the most
thoughtful gift one could give me is a
tray of assorted homemade cookies.
It’s made with love, every age can
enjoy, and one size fits all.
My holiday baking is where I like to
shine. I casually plan out my dinner
menu, but I meticulously plan out my
desserts. Desserts for me have always
been the pièce de résistance. Turkey is
turkey; ham is ham, but the presentation
of a rich Black Forest Gateau, an
Eggnog Cheesecake, or even Chocolate
Brownie Trifles with Salted Caramel
Sauce can be a showstopper in itself. As
long as you give yourself permission to
indulge, family and friends alike will
follow suit. Remember, it’s the holidays
and it’s been a long year. You deserve it.
