Did you start your Christmas baking? I’m going to start this weekend, and I absolutely can’t wait. I skipped last year because I was busy preparing for little munchkin’s arrival.

And this year, it’s extra special, because I have a cutest helper!

While I was browsing Pinterest for inspiration, I was blown away by all the creativity and insanely cute ideas. Where do you start??

And then I decided to compile them here on my blog to share the love with you. Obviously, I won’t be able to try every one of these awesome ideas (but it’s sure tempting!), but I hope together we could try most of them. 😉

If you make any of these recipes, don’t forget to leave a comment below and let us all know how you liked it and if it was worth it.

P.S. I’m not going to fill this post with 99 images, so instead I’ve compiled my favorites in the collage. If you click on each image, it’ll take you directly to the recipe. Now how cool is that?!
