Holiday baking done? Check.

Wait, no check? You too? What are we doing, with less than a week until Christmas and the baking frenzy hasn’t even begun? Yeah, I don’t really know either, but I just haven’t felt that Christmas spirit push to spend all day in the kitchen baking up lovely treats for everyone. Hopefully it hits soon. I’ll hope so for you too, ok?

I did bake something so good this week. It’s actually a contender for a spot at Christmas morning brunch…Gingerbread Coffee Cake with Ginger Cream. Doesn’t that sound good? It was a soft coffee cake, with a delicious gingerbread flavor, and an indulgent ginger spiked cream to top it off. I’ll take this for breakfast any day, thank you very much! 

KCup Countertop Storage GiveawayI used actual coffee in my coffee cake recipe. I love using coffee in baked goods, and the Gingerbread K-Cup from Green Mountain Coffee added a lovely richness to the cake.

Speaking of coffee, are you hoping to find a Keurig Coffee Brewer under your tree this Christmas? If so, you’ll also want one of these handy K-Cup countertop storage drawers. You can keep all of your new K-Cups nice and tidy. And guess what? I’m going to give you the chance to win one!

    What a lovely looking cake. I’ve not started my Christmas baking either but that’s because I want everything to be as fresh as possible – Christmas Eve baking is where it’s at!

    I would love to find jewelry, but I’m going to settle for the house that we are signing on tomorrow.

    we’ve decided no gifts this year because we’re taking a big trip for the month of January…but I’m still secretly hoping for a new cookbook or two 🙂 or a k-cup 🙂

    I’m just hoping that the kids and family will all like what’s under the tree for them. Although I would like an Apple TV, so maybe one of those. And I did get my grandparents a Keurig. I think they’ll be resistant at first but LOVE it once I get them to use it. 🙂

    I would be thrilled to find a coffeemaker under the tree. If my current coffeemaker lasts until Christmas, I will be shocked.
