Christmas Cake Decorating
This is a photo of a Christmas Cake I made last year. It is a red cherry velvet cake with cream cheese icing. I made it not long after I had taken my first cake decorating class!

Use Applesauce In Holiday Baking
When doing all your holiday baking, try substituting 1/2 the oil called for in the recipe with the same amount of applesauce. The result will be more nutritious, moister, and less costly. The taste will not be affected.

Use Paper Plate Holders for Pie Transportation
Home baked pies can be messy to transport. If you use a 9 inch pie pan, you can separate and stack your pies by using the plastic paper plate holders made for 9 inch plates. Flip them upside-down and clip the tabs to the pie tin.

Watch Out For Nut Allergies When Making Christmas Goodies
When making candies and other desserts or pastries for gift giving, chopped nuts are a nice extra touch. But be sure that your recipient isn't allergic to them. I have a pal who can eat pecans and peanuts but not walnuts, as she's allergic to walnuts.

If you somewhat like Gingerbread Cookies, but the taste is a little to sharp with spices, try making your favorite Sugar Cookie recipe and Gingerbread recipe and combine the two recipes.

Swap Cookies With a Friend
Baking time short? Find 1 or 2 friends to swap cookies with you. Do a double or triple batch of your fav and she does the same, and you swap. Great when you don't have time to do a lot of variety or go to a big cookie swap party!

Keeping the Counters Clean While Baking
When doing your baking this Christmas season, and always, the mess is so much easier to clean up if you lay out sheets of waxed paper on your counters before you begin. When you are done, most of the mess just picks up with the sheets of waxed paper! Big time saver for me!...

Cheesecake Batter Tip
Always try to beat cheesecake batter on low speed. Especially after you start to add the eggs. Try not to whip air into it. You don't want it to rise. Keeping it low on air volume will make it less likely to crack. By Judi Shank

Toasting Nuts and Oatmeal For Cookies
Toasting nuts or oatmeal before adding them to cookies enhances the flavor. Put them in a shallow pan and toast in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-20 minutes. Stir them every 5 min so they don't burn. By Linda
