I think they look very appetizing! My, Chuck, you have been busy! Hope those cookies last more than an hour!

For my son's birthday on the 11th, I baked a clementine cake!! This cake figures in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, where Walter's mom Shirley MacLaine bakes one for him to give to the Afghani warlords so they will let him pass into the Himalayas. I bet you've never seen somebody so smitten by a movie that they baked a cake that was in it, have you? ;)

Looks scrummy! And looks like a lot of work.

Chuck, I'm very impressed!
Back in the day when I used to bake cookies now and then, I could only manage one batch at a time.
5 batches is very impressive!
And the clementine cake looks delicious!

hmmm, "scrummy"? I'll take that as a compliment! Actually, it was one of the easiest cakes I've ever made. I was planning to make a chai cake, but then I saw a box of Vietnamese coffee cake at Cost Plus and decided to try it. You just add milk, oil and an egg to make a batter, and you cut 2 Tbs. of butter into a topping mix and alternate them into a cake pan. After baking, I made a vanilla glaze, using the recipe printed on a bag of glazing sugar. After adding the clementines, I finished off by cutting some lime and lemon flowers and leaves off of the trees in my kitchen and placing them all around the edges. It makes a very flavorful cake but one which is light on sugar and carbs.
