This year, I made vanilla and almond flavored pizzelles. Usually I flavor half with anise and half with chocolate, and make a batch with a little of both. This time I accidentally threw in almond extract, thinking I had reached for the anise (those little bottles look the same! of course, I realized the swap as soon as I poured the extract in and smelled the almond) Luckily, these little cookies taste great with any kind of flavoring. Maybe next year I'll do orange and lemon, to mix it up a bit!

Cookies and Cream Cake
I was hired to make this cake by the daughter of one of the women who works at MIT's CopyTech (Bug). It's an Oreo cookies and cream cake. Two layers of chocolate cake with fluffy white frosting and cookie crumbs between the layers and pressed around the bottom.
