Yes it snowed...most of the day yesterday it melted...but toward evening it began to stay on the grass.
My flowers held in there

Ready set BAKE
Aubrey and Katie helped bake cookies....Swedish Browns and Lemon Cookies
This is the remnant of about 15 dozen cookies. I mixed up the Swedish Browns (sometimes I call them Sweet Molly Browns) before they got here and when they arrived we began and in two hours the cookies were baked and cooling and the kitchen all cleaned up! It is great to have baking help!! Aubrey is a great helper as is my niece Katie!!!!!
Ready set Bake again! I am all set for the Cake Bake today!
Gathering what you need is half the battle. 4 cakes are from scratch and 3 are helped with the assistance of a cake mix and lemon pudding. I hope they all turn out okay.

What fun! What a cozy kitchen with the snow outside. Even a little sprinkle gets me in the mood for baking.
ReplyDeleteHow fun that the girls helped you bake while the snow fell outside. Best of luck with the cakes.
ReplyDeleteGreat days for baking with snow falling and temps dropping! I agree...prepping is 1/2 the battle and I enjoy it more when I have prepped ahead of time. So glad you had some great help. I love your Swedish Browns...one of my favorites! I hope everything t urns out well. It was 34 here this morning and the heat is on.
ReplyDeleteIt seems early to me, but that snow is pretty anyway. You sure are busy with all that baking! You must be feeling better. :-)
ReplyDeleteBaking with the girls while it snowed sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteI am a little scared to post after the one above me LOL . What a wonderful way to spend a cold day. I love to bake, but I am a little odd - I like to do it on my own. I think it comes from baking when my kids were here. We had a very tiny house (my husband has made it much bigger with additions) and a tiny kitchen and it was such a challenge with kids underfoot. I have never had a big "cake bake day". I do a day of pies in the summer for our church festival, and maybe an extra pie day or two if we have a church dinner during the year and cookie days. Your post is making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteI deleted him yet again the bum:(
DeleteI think it's wonderful that you have the girls close by to help you bake for the big occasion. Our snow is still hanging around but hopefully will be melted by the end of the day as we're supposed to be in the 50's. I've never heard of Molly Brown's.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Looks like you'll be all set for the party when this round of baking is finished. I bet your house smells wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI never baked with my grandma, would have been fun. I hope the snow is gone by now!
ReplyDeleteJoin the club. We've had 3 or 4 snows. We also had minus 10 one night.
ReplyDeleteLots of work, but I'm absolutely certain that everyone will be very appreciative of your efforts, and those of your helpers. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine seeing snow already. We could get a thunderstorm tomorrow. Hopefully it will bring some rain. That bum you deleted must be the same one I have deleted twice today! Hope your cakes turn out good. I'm better at baking pies than cakes.
ReplyDeleteIt is encouraging when you have help. The cookies sound like good ones. Cakes today and you will let your oven cool off tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how it is that a number of us are having trouble this past week with what I assume is the same spammer ( if that's a word). I wish there was a way to permanently disable him ( in more ways than one).
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll post pics of your cakes once all ready to go!!
All that baking looks like fun! We finally have gotten some cooler weather but no snow for awhile yet.
ReplyDeleteFun! And I'll bet your whole house smelled wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI gather up ingredients,too. You guys have sooo many cakes to make. Going to be great! :)
ReplyDeleteSo much to do and it looks like you're getting the job done well. So glad you have good helpers there too! Hope your mom's party is wonderful! Will say a prayer for your Mom on her birthday and for all of you gathering together to toast her big day!
ReplyDeleteYou must have had to borrow some bundt pans for all of those cakes! Hope it all went well. Happy celebrating!
ReplyDeleteI love having helpers when I am baking.
ReplyDeleteI like the photo of the flowers peeking through
ReplyDeleteSNOW!!! WINTER IS there....
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time baking cakes and cookies, especially with eager helpers! Your house must smell wonderful! God bless you all!
