You ladies have no idea how much I really appreciate all these baking gifts. Thank you so much :-* :-* :-*
Katie, are the tiny little papers for mini cupcakes? I've never used such small papers before :D

Amy, you did give my name to someone didn't you  ??? :D :D :-* :-*

Of course I did Judy :D :D :-* :-* And I know she will get you something wonderful ;) ;)

Lovely present Amy you spoilt brat  :D :D

Spoilt, yes. Brat, no ;D ;D

Do you think I am being a meany Amy, asking you to wait to open the package I sent until 23rd?
Marie  ;D

Not at all Marie. I need to experience the suspense and temptation with the rest of you! :D

I still have that yellow box with the ribbon tied around it. I have no idea who sent that one ???

Yes they are sold for mini cupcakes, but you'd only want to make a cupcake that tiny if you were having a minature tea party! 
Could you even bake a cake that tiny  ???
I'd use them for something like chocolate truffles, rum balls or mini chocolates.

I make mini cupcakes for the girls, they can have more than 1 if they wish, but makes so much less mess as they are just a bite or two!  :D
Very cool present, Amy!  :D
:D

I make them a lot we call them baby cakes, DH complains that he needs to eat at least 4 to feel like he has had a cake, I pop 2 in the boys lunch boxes and no complaints yet

These are even mini-er than mini :o They're probably the size of my thumb nail!

A cake that small would probably only take a couple of minutes to cook... and with things that small, you want them to be rich and full of flavour. So I might use them for some dark chocolate truffles or something like you suggested ;)

I use my mini ones for truffles Amy or baking mini cupcakes for the boys. I sometimes make a batch if big ones and reserve a little to make some mini ones.
Have you actually got a SS gift yet?

I think so Kimmy... but then I'm not sure. The yellow box was from "santa's secret elf" so I guess that could be my SS? Or is the SSE? ???

Truffles it is then ;D

Yay Wonder, maybe my SS parcel will be on the way then  ;D  Amy, you did give my name to someone didn't you  ??? :D :D :-* :-*

Lovely gift from Katie Amy, something different but we all know how much you love spending time in the kitchen so you are easy to buy for. 

What date do we get to officially cry? Dec 22nd?  I'm sure lots are still coming as it isn't even December yet. We are just getting excited about all the other gifts.

I hope no SS presents get lost in the post, that would be so dissapointing.  :(

Good that you are being made to wait Amy, imagine the pile you could have opened on the 23rd if you kept them all!!

Judy, it may be you but then again it may not be. I think it was an Adelaide address or then it could have been Perth - you 'll never know. 

I think I might wait a little longer with my posting, I'm not sure I can trust my recipient  :-\

I think the last members to receive their SS pressies last will be able to narrow it down. A lot have said whether they have posted or not. Wonder is waiting to post hers, so if you haven't recieved yours yet, it could be Wonder. Or maybe Wonder has posted and is tricking us all.  :)
