The batter is chilling in the fridge, dark and fudgy. It has all the appearance of being evilly delicious. I'll probably bake them tomorrow.

All of that makes three full sized cakes and three 3/4 sized.

The house is starting to smell like when mom, aunts and grandmother were baking.

Christmas baking season starts this weekend. 7.5 pounds of dried and candied fruit with a cup of good brandy. Later today I will be baking fruit cakes. Then I will look at staring various tarts, and squares. Next week several dozen donuts for work.

Our cat was supervising me and making sure I didn't cut myself with the knife.

7.5 pounds of dried and candied fruits for old school fruit cakes.

This week I'll be making low carb mincemeat for mince pies and possibly, if there is any left from a second batch later, to add to a Christmas style low carb fruit cake.
I've never found or created a really good low carb fruit cake; most low carb sites aren't British and don't quite get it. Eg a 'Christmas cake' with pineapple and very pale crumb isn't traditional here.
But last year's was close. As I allow myself a few more carbs nowadays I added a little treacle.

Last week we had a lot of rain, which always puts me in a baking mood. When asked, the family requested star bread. It’s a cinnamon-roll-like confection, with a lighter dough and a fun presentation. From another reliable cookbook, Christmas Baking: Festive Cookies, Candies, Cakes, Breads, and Snacks to Bring Comfort and Joy to Your Holiday. by Joyce and Laura Klynstra. Recipe is Star Bread. #baking #StarBread #ChristmasBaking #JoyceKlynstra #LauraKlynstra

Viewer is looking down on a baking sheet from above. The aluminum baking sheet is lined with parchment paper and sits on a dark glass range top. The star bread has eight puffy points or petals surrounding a round center. Each point is formed of two twists of dough layered cinnamon sugar and pinched together at the tip. The whole thing is golden brown and sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar.

Cover of the cookbook. The background is white. Main title in red is Christmas Baking. Subtitle in green is Festive Cookies, Candies, Cakes, Breads, and Snacks to Bring Comfort and Joy to Your Holiday. A square wooden tray holds a variety of Christmas goodies. Joyce and Laura Klynstra are the authors. The book is on a dark granite counter which reflects some light.

While I enjoy baking, I never really bother with it around Christmas as I usually already find the period quite hectic. This year I had a little more time and felt a little more confident in trying some new recipes and I actually ended up baking quite a lot. On Christmas Eve I baked a wreath cake, a "kerststol", and some cookies and on "First Christmas Day" I baked cinnamon buns and on "Second Christmas Day" scones. The cinnamon buns can still be improved upon, but the scones and cookies were quite good!

A Dutch Christmas bread on a plate. It is very low, contains raisins and is covered in powdered sugar. Next to the plate is a large knife.

A baking tray filled with star-shaped cookies on top of an oven, as well as a chocolate wreath cake and Dutch christmas bread (without powdered sugar) on plates.

Star-shaped cookies on a blue-and-white plate, covered in chocolate and coconut flakes.

A baking tray with twelve scones on them that have a light golden colour.

From a nutritional standpoint, I’ve eaten far too much butter this week. But from a self-care standpoint…

Ok y’know what? From a self-care standpoint, I’ve also eaten far too much butter this week.

Let’s try again.

As a potential spokesperson for butter, I’ve probably eaten a qualifying amount of butter this week.

When the only cookie cutters you can find are a small star and a dinosaur there’s nothing for it but to re-enact the night the twelve wise dinosaurs followed twelve stars (or perhaps ran away from them) through the medium of mince pies.

A baking tray with twelve unbaked mince pies, pastry shells with dried fruit filling topped with cutout dinosaur and star shapes.

The same pies but baked and piled on a plate.

It might be missing something…a gingerbread cat maybe, but with the difference in scale it would look like Kitten Kong and that’s not a look I’m going for (this year anyway).

Photo of a Christmas cake covered roughly in white royal icing. On the top is a mini gingerbread house/cabin surrounded by gingerbread trees. They are dusted with icing sugar snow. Sun is shining through a window in the room, highlighting the cabin. A scandi pattern ribbon edges the base on the cake, which sits on a white cake plate. The wooden table beneath is covered with a red table runner and placemats.

Last of this year’s Christmas cookie baking! I made this dough earlier in the month and froze it, so today I just had to bake it while I worked on other cooking projects.
