It sounds fun! Not sure what kind of Christmas baking I'll do this year, but your group seems like it would be a lot of fun!

A group of us got together and did the 12 weeks of Christmas cookies and were doing it again this year. It's much easier (for me) to do a batch a week instead of a batch a day. I thought I would give you a heads up that we are planning it again and would like to invite you to bake along. Details at Aprils blog. It's gonna be linked up to a blog hop linky thing.

I couldn't help but laugh when I read this! I am always trying new recipes on company… it's very dangerous :o)
And just for the record, I love eating fudge with a spoon!

I hate it when dishes fail! I get really moody wheneven it happens, which is more often that I'd like to admit, because I'm big on culinary experimentation. Bah.

If you have a good oven there shouldn't be any trouble. My problem was that my old oven looses a lot of heat and the tiny éclairs don't puff up very well. Instead their bottoms turn too brown.

In spite of all the trouble, I'm thinking of making them again, they're amazing both as appetizers and dessert.

Don't be afraid to try them!

I totally applaued you on trying so many times, I would have deffinetely walked away after the second fail – I'm so impatient!

All your recipe's you've made so far look great though so keep up the good work!

Everyone has their cooking disaster stories. I had a recipe say 1/4 pound of butter, and when I saw the 1/4, I just assumed it meant cup. I never read the word after the 1/4 part. Needless to say, there were a few problems!

I've never made eclairs, and after reading your comment, I don't think I want to. And burning your hand is the worst!

I wanted to bake éclairs. They wouldn't puff, or they would burn. It was torture and I'm not sure why I thought the second batch would turn out better.

Some time after midnight, I dropped one of the trays, burnt my hand trying to catch it and then almost cried when I had to throw away all the cookies that hit the floor. I think I still have nightmares about watching tiny éclairs in the oven.

Luckily, vanilla filling and chocolate coating covered all the faults. Except the pain I experienced throughout the entire holiday.
