"It's the most wonderful time of the year," yes? Christmas is here and for someone that loves to bake and share what I make, it is a wonderful, and also busy, time of the year. For those of you looking for holiday dessert ideas, I've put together a list of my favorite dessert recipes. Inpsired by travels to France & Italy & baking memories with mom, all of them would be a sweet ending to a fabulous holiday meal, or make a great edible Christmas gift. There are many super easy yet elegant recipes and also those that are a little more elaborate, but definitely worth the extra effort.
Wishing all of you a sweet and happy holiday!
