And a nicer photo

I'm gonna enter for both categories. I was super proud of my Christmas dinner because it was just me making it for the first time being away from home. Me and my man shared Christmas together this year.

Oh! I don't have my username in the Christmas dinner ... can I PM you a picture of me standing with it, though? xD you know what I look like from facebook. :P Here's the form if you do accept it.

For the Delectable Dishes Category....

Mama! mama! Look What I did!

description of item: It's a simple casserole recipe I make sometimes, but I decided to dress it up like a present for the holiday. ^_^ The casserole is really easy to make: 2 Boxes of chicken stuffing, a smallish bag of frozen vegetables (I used a mixed bag of Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Carrots), pre-cooked chicken breast strips or chunks, two cans of cream of broccoli soup, and two soup cans full of water. Mix it all up in a 9x13 inch baking dish and bake at 375 degrees (Fahrenheit) for about 40 minutes or until the vegetables are done to your desired tenderness. I decorated it by tossing a couple of handfuls of the dry stuffing in melted butter mixed with green food coloring and then sprinkling them on top. Then I used my potato peeler to make thin strips of carrot, which I used to make the ribbons. ^_^ I think it turned out really well.

description of item: Little pound cakes dressed up like presents. The cakes were store bought but I made the icing out of pistachio pudding mix and whipped topping. The rest of the decorations are made of white chocolate chips, colored sugar, and fruit roll-ups. My nieces decorated cakes too and we had a great time doing it. ^_^

It was really fun making all these goodies! I should do this more often. Thanks for having this contest. It really inspired me. ^_^

It's really good. I'm having the last bowl of it right now!

I just cooked some frozen broccoli in chicken stock, since the texture of the broccoli isn't too important here. Usually I don't eat frozen broccoli cause it's mushy, but that's good for the purposes of the soup. Then added it all to the mashed potatoes with some extra milk/cream/butter, lots of cheddar, and a dash of pepper and salt.

You'll want to break down the broccoli though. I really wish I had one of those lovely immersion blenders! But no, I put it in our counter top blender and got showered in soup. *sighs* I hate our blender.

Soup shower aside, as long as you have some mashed potatoes lying around and a bit of broccoli, this is really quick, easy and yummy :D I wish I had more *cleans bowl with tongue*

description of item: Mini star pastry cookies! I only managed to take a picture of the sweet ones! But I made 7 different flavours, some sweet some savoury, I know they don't look much but the flavours are creative. For the the sweet ones I did, one plain, one with blue berries and one with chocolate and cinnamon! And for the savoury ones I did Chilli, garlic and origano, cheese, and chinese five spice! I dusted the sweet ones with icing sugar to make it look like snow! I'm posting two pictures below, because when I took the first one I forgot to put my name in the picture, but by the time i;d remebered they were half eaten xD
entry link/image:

I have returned with photos of the cakes I made for my family. There are actually 3 cakes and I can't decide which one to enter.... May I enter them all as one entry or should I try to pick one?

I have a picture with all three that has the name tag I made in the background and then closeups of each cake with the name tag. Sadly I can't get a picture of all three together anymore because they're mostly gone. XD

description of item: Carved and decorated cakes! I made these cakes for my family for Christmas. Each cake was hand carved and iced, a process that took a total of three days and many long hours spent carving, icing and decorating.
~The log cabin cake for my dad is a chocolate cake sliced into layers using dental floss (it works wonders) and then layered to look like a log cabin with icing in between each layer. The shingles, door, windows, and walking path are life cereal pieces, the snow mounds are white cake covered in icing, and the snow on the ground is more white icing, all covered in sifted powdered sugar to look like snow.
~The sunflower cake for my mom is a chocolate cake, carved into a round and then the petals carved out. The seeds are chocolate chips on top of black icing and the petals are piped orange icing.
~The igloo cake for my sister is a white cake carved in two sections, the igloo and the ice bank. The ice bank was covered in white icing then patted to make it look like snow drifts. The igloo was covered in blue icing and then smoothed out with a heated knife to look like ice and then carved to look like ice blocks. The silver balls are to look like tiny silver snowflakes. The penguins on the side are just buttons from my mom. XD

(sorry for the wall of text, it was just a TON of work! XD)

Oh yay! I'm so glad you like them! I wasn't sure how well they were going to turn out since it was my first time doing actual carved cakes, let alone fancy cakes like this.

And you're more than welcome to steal the ideas! I even have making-of pictures for each of them if you'd like to see how they were made!
