Christmas is around the corner and we can’t wait to share several new holiday recipes, including this amazing sugar cookie recipe! We used our Metal Mouse Cookie Cutter and a few of our favorite shades of Tinker Dust to create these Christmas themed Mickey Mouse cookies.  This sugar cookie recipe is fool proof! There’s no chilling before rolling and it doesn’t stick easily to the counter or rolling pin. A bit of cornstarch in the dough  helps keep those nice, crisp edges in the oven.  

With Christmas around the corner we decided to whip up one of our favorite cupcake recipes! This is an easy cupcake recipe that will leave you and your guests begging for more! Knowing us, we had to take this opportunity to dress up our cupcakes with our Snowman cupcake liners and our Soft Blue Tinker Dust....

Bakell's got you covered with the classic holiday favorites, Our Apple Butter Spice cake is a fantastic holiday alternative to pie; spicy and sweet in the way a fall dessert should be, with notes of clove and ginger, and a nutty sweetness in the frosting....

We’re not sure about you, but we think there is something comforting about a slice of fresh pumpkin pie! Learn how to make one of our favorite looks is floating pie crust cutouts in the pumpkin custard using our festive star-shaped plungers and piled them on generously, giving it a layered look or you can add a couple of smaller leaf shapes or a big pumpkin cutout right in the center could be equally as charming! 

The holidays are upon us, and that can only mean one thing: time for festive desserts! Apple pie is sort of a standard around here; delicious anytime of year but best when the leaves start to turn. Apple pie isn’t as easy as it looks. If you’re not careful, your pie will be runny or the crust will burn. Pie baking is an art! It doesn't take much to follow a recipe but learning how to garner technique and listen to you pie takes a lot of practice and failure, much like learning how to play an instrument or paint with oil paints. Listen, and lean into the process! 

The Bakell team gets together to celebrate the spookiest day of all! Kids in costume, trick or treating, pumpkins galore, and best of all… the treats! We served a fruit tray, chips & dip, and a salad, sure, but that wasn’t the fare the many Spidermen & Unicorn Princesses were asking for!
