I recently made Irish Mist Brownies. They are these really dense and fudgey brownies with a creamy mint icing and just a drizzle of semi-sweet chocolate. They were so good. The icing also used cream cheese so they were like little mint chocolate cheesecakes.
Last night I made Banana Pecan Cream Cookies. These are banana pecan cookies which sandwich a creamy vanilla icing. They are also really good. I think these ones are going into my Christmas Cookie repertoire. When making them I checked out the other cookie recipes in the book and there was one for Lemonade Cookies, which use frozen lemonade in the recipe to make these refreshing cookies. Also pina colada cookies using rum, coconut and pineapple.
And the cake decorating! I am definitely getting back into that. I was thinking of signing up for a course or 2 with all my new spare time.
Just for fun I posted some pics of previous cake work from my facebook:
