Promise Acre baking

[promiseacres]

Last few days' goodies. Pecan rolls, turtles, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered caramels, gingerbread cookies. Also made beef jerky on Monday, Tuesday. We are giving goodies for Christmas. Good/bad thing I didn't get any orders....
Today decorating more cookies, and making buckeyes, and peppermint bark. Josh wants a sky high chocolate mousse pie for our get together on Sunday.... but it may have to wait until tomorrow... we will see.

That all looks delicious! I loved baking cookies with my kids when they were little, we ate most of the dough, then baked what was left! LOL

Got it all done today. Including the chocolate pie...
kids helped decorate cookies last night. Hope our family members appreciate the goodies.

Food should not only taste good, but look good too. Beautiful pie, I am sure your family will be delighted.

@promiseacres Decided I don't want to mess with the Italian Buttercream until I can make it easily- I am afraid I'll end up with cooked egg whites instead of frosting
Soooo instead I am going to do a Whipped Ganache

Ganache is good too. I have used a meringue powder buttercream I like, it pipes well and isn't as sugary as American buttercream.

Do share if you don't mind.
That is the issue with most icings- too sweet. I don't like icing that taste like I bit into straight sugar.
The whipped Ganache I thought may be a good option.

@Southern by choice here is the website I got the MP BC from. there's a couple other recipes too.

Just told a friend I'd donate 2 dozen decorated cookies for their fundraiser to re build their rabbit barn. A neighbor's tree fell on theirs and insurance isn't replacing much.

That's not right. Is the neighbor at least being cooperative with your friend? It should be the insurance of the property owner's tree. I hate to hear about situations like this. The neighbor should at least be willing to buy the lumber and offer some help in rebuilding, etc.

Thanks, I have used the powder before, many years ago... maybe I should try again.

So what kind of cookies are you making?
