It’s Not Too Early To Start Holiday Baking

I’m on the Better Homes and Garden email list and I’ve been receiving their 12 Days of Holiday Baking the last few days, and it’s definitely inspiring me to get started on my holiday baking. It’s not too early to get started planning your holiday baking. You can start planning now to buy the ingredients when they’re on sale, and have your recipes ready to go.
You can even start baking to avoid the last minute holiday rush. Much of your holiday baking can be done ahead of time and frozen until you’re ready to use it. You can make cookies, cakes, pies, and even cupcakes ahead of time. You’ll still have plenty to do when the holiday season hits.
The tip is to get your baking done now, then right before the holidays pull your cookies, or cakes out of the freezer and let them defrost, then add your decorations. If you need some holiday baking inspiration to get you started check these links out:
