    I would love a trip to Ireland and Scotland so I can go back to (at least a portion of) my roots! But in reality I just want to live comfortably and be happy.

    I really really really want Santa to bring me a Kitchenaid stand mixer, but Santa’s only income is social security ….so I’m not holding my breath! I don’t know Pininterest works, so I can’t do that for the entry. I just made your Andes mint cupcakes and my hubby’s eyes literally rolled back in his head! They were so incredibly delist!

    I’m hoping Santa brings a 24 cup muffin pan you recommend! That’ll make preparing all of these recipes I’m pinning much more efficient! 🙂

    I pinned the dark chocolate peppermint whoopies recipe of yours. I’ve never made whoopie pies before. This sounds like a good one to start out with.

    What I wish for from Santa this year is for my son that has autism will continue making me a part of his world by talking and asking questions. One of the best ways to get him to communicate is to make recipes with him and bake. It makes him so happy!

    I pinned your Speculoos Pecan Cupcakes. I just got a Trader joe’s in the area and have discovered cookie butter – it’s so amazing I can’t imagine what it will taste like in cupcakes!

    This is the perfect place to hint to Santa that my baking pans are a bit shabby. I have used them for things other than cakes and cupcakes and they look it. Maybe some new ones under the tree would inspire me to bake more.
    On the other hand, this website always inspires me! Merry Christmas.

    Thank you for your wonderful site. it never fails for inspiration.

    My Santa wish this year is simple – I wish for my husband to find a great
    job so we don’t lose our home. I am disabled and unable to work. it’s been a tough
    year…. so anything Santa can do to lighten our spirits would be a blessing
    indeed.

    I pinned and am so excited to try the hot chocolate truffles! Last night it was freezing out, and we had to go to tithing settlement. On the way home my daughter and I decided hot chocolate would be on the agenda as soon as we got home. These truffles would definitely tickle her fancy!
