A Busy Kitchen

I was going to post some pictures from our walk along the beach on Sunday but Karen has been super busy in the kitchen.  
She is making lots of Christmas cakes.  
Four of her workmates have asked her to make sponge cakes for them.  She spent all day yesterday baking and today she is decorating - and she is singing away to herself - a sure sign she is in her element and really enjoying herself :))

There is however one drawback to all of this productivity - my kitchen is a disaster zone - mess everywhere!!!!
 I'm definately NOT posting a picture of that :))


But I will show a picture of all that she has made so far. 
 You see those tubs on the left, there are full of ginger sheets for making a gingerbread house - I can't wait to see that when it is finished :)
   I've always meant to make a gingerbread house but never got around to it. 

I'll be sure to put some pictures up of the finished products. She has already made a wee santa to put on top of one the cakes - sooooo cute, lol.

Do you see how dark it is out of the window - it really is like that here at the moment - rain, rain, rain - and so grey.

This also means I can put my beach shots up on another day :)

Must be so gratifying to be able to actually sell one's baking products.

They look delish!

The gingerbread house will be something to look forward to seeing! Especially as you have never got a 'round tuit'! Don't laugh at the spelling, someone really did give me 'a round tuit' once for a joke!

I love it that your daughter has so much fun baking!
Karen has really been busy, can I borrow her please? My grandson is supposed to be making a gingerbread house for Christmas Day, but we'll see.
