Day 11 - Winter Baking

I woke up to an absolutely beautiful scene outside my window. There was a light dusting of snow all along the trees and rooftops of my small, quaint town. The sun was just barely beginning to peak and the buildings in the distance had an orange and pink glow to them. However, it was a very cold outside. I had nothing so important that I had to leave the comfort of my own home today….so I didn’t. I did my housework, workout and completed a project I needed to finish right here from my home.

With the rest of my day ahead of me, I pondered what I could do for my day’s intention. My eyes slowly surveyed my home, waiting for an idea to hit. And sure enough, I noticed my beautiful vintage cake container that I recently picked up from a local antique shop.

When I bought this container I told myself that the next gathering/party we went to I would bake something awesome and bring it in this container. But, I’ve decided actually, for today’s intention I am going to bake some desserts and use this lovely vintage find. So, I spent the next while baking away. I love baking on days like this. The heat from my oven, the sound of the beaters, the sweet aroma wafting through the air as my decadent treats take form….ahhhhh.

Once my Caramel Turtle Brownies and my family’s favorite, White Chocolate and Cherry cookies were made, I set the cookies in my cake container and the brownies on one of my other favorite dessert displays. As I set them on the table, I took a couple of the pictures I have displayed in my home of Heather and I and bring them onto the table to perfectly complete an amazing day’s intention.
