exhausted...

I have been CRAZY busy for this first part of December! We celebrated my oldest daughters 14th birthday! Seriously cant believe that she is that old when I myself am only 21! Normally I am a frustrated baker come round birthday time. I LOVE baking and some of my family members want things like Ice-cream cake. I could get creative and MAKE the ice cream and thus feel more fulfilled but at the prices of cream these days may as well just buy a cow for all the cream it takes to make. Kyla wanted Cream Cheese ball and while that is a step up from ice cream it still isn't as fulfilling as I would like. THIS year however her birthday fell on a weekend where I had to have 3 parties in 3 days (1 party for Kyla and 1 for Chris and Kyla and one Sower reunion party) and HAD make alllllllll the desserts! HAD to....well ok I didn't HAVE to I wanted to. Glutton for punishment I may be, but I LOVE to bake. Here is a list of all I made this week alone....not including dinners.

90+ Truffles (my BEST ever!)
67 Sugar cookies (think cookie bouquet with white chocolate frosting)
Coconut cake (2)
7 layer bars
Cream Cheese Ball
Chocolate Cake

So I guess it boils down to one realllly exhausted Kyrsi! A WHOLE lot of leftovers too because that's not something I am good at. I overdo it and figure it will be ok, I can give it to the neighbors all except the pan of 7 layer bars which I single-handedly devoured.  Not feeling much like making those again soon!

Will post recipes soon!
