Individual photos of items for an order that went out today! Dessert is always a must for Christmas parties. We've got butter cookies, cherry almond cookies, maple sugar cookies, gingerbread squares, brownies, nanaimo bars, butter tarts, apple tarts and lemon raspberry tarts.

A strawberry peach tart I had made a while ago! It turned out great, and certainly didn't last long lol. #strawberry #peach #ontariogrown #localproduce #puffpastry #tart #fruit #summerbaking #fresh

A coffee crisp cheesecake (with a hint of Kahlua ) topped with caramel whipped cream, drizzled caramel and crushed coffee crisp. This is certain to give that little 'pep' needed to get back into things after a long weekend! #cheesecake #coffeecrisp #coffee #kahlua #whippedcream #caramel #coffeeliqueur #baking #homemade

Chocolate coated shortbread cookies for my cousin's baby shower! I can't wait to meet your little one next. #cookies #shortbread #chocolate #babyboy #babyshower #cousin #family

Mini chocolate and vanilla cupcakes headed out today for a baby shower. These turned out so cute. #cupcakes #mini #chocolate #vanilla #buttercream #pink #purple #sprinkles #cupcaketoppers #babyshower #babygirl

Maple shortbread cookies I brought up north with us this weekend! Made with the maple syrup we got from my boyfriend's aunt. They were a huge hit, especially with my boyfriend's mom lol. Hope everyone had a great long weekend! #summer #family #longweekend #canadaday #celebrate #lakebernardpark #lakebernard #muskoka #sunnydays #maple #hunstvillemaplesyrup #familymade #cookies #shortbread #mapleglaze

Peacock themed cake and cupcakes for my best friend's baby shower/gender reveal today. Everything turned out beautifully and as we envisioned. Of course the cupcakes tasted great too lol! The cake is being saved for baby's first birthday. Congrats again guys, I can't wait until the little one is here! #peacock #theme #babyshower #genderreveal #baby #celebrate #party #bestfriend #family #cake #cupcake #chocolate #funfetti #buttercream #blue #teal #purple #violet #feathers

Made a (large) batch of peanut butter/carrot pet treats. They've got a soft, chewy texture. My cats personally weren't too interested. But they're picky brats at the best of times (despite how much they beg) lol. I have plenty to go around, if you would like some, just let me know! #peanutbutter #carrot #cookie #treats #pets #dogs #cats #lakesbakes #homemade #chewy #soft #duck #bone #flower #star #homebaker #dogtreats

Made a batch of gingerbread squares this weekend for my sister's birthday present! She doesn't like cake, but she loves these so it was a no brainer. They're definitely a favourite of everyone who's tried them.

Lemon tarts have become a personal favourite of mine (this is coming from someone who never liked anything lemon lol). I tried something new as well. Savoury red pepper and feta muffins! They smell so good . Here's to some more ninja/fairying some lucky people!

I hope that everyone has been safe and well during these crazy times! I'm lucky to still be working my day job. I had a bit of relaxation time this weekend, so of course some baking happened! Chocolate chip shortbread, cinnamon roll cookies and triple berry muffins. I also discovered a local wine ninja/fairy facebook group! I thought it was a cute idea, and why not bring joy to people!? So I bought a handful of things to make up some bags (along with the baking of course lol). Just waiting for everything to cool and then I'll be packing it up to be delivered tomorrow!

Come check out the bake sale happening at the Global Pet Foods at Grandview/Bloor this Sunday! I will be making a few things to contribute. All proceeds will be going towards The Animal Guardian Society (TAGS) as part of the annual Show Us Your Heart campaign. Come say hi and grab some goodies!

Merry Christmas from Lake's Bakes! My baskets are all packed up for family and friends (some have already received theirs) and pies are made for dinner today. I hope everyone enjoys the holidays
