Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa at Home Cookbook is amazing. Every recipe I've tried is terrific. This year, I'm making her Lemon Yogurt Cake. (I love lemon!) Lots of steps, but it's fairly easy, delicious and beautiful. Here's the link to the recipe.
I found great 7.5 inch by 12 inch plates at a local party goods store, used 10 by 16 inch cellophane bags and a gold ribbon and I think they turned out really well.
I'm also trying my hand at cookies in a jar. Here's the how-to.

The jar on the left was my practice jar. I quickly figured out to layer the ingredients in a way that makes it more eye-catching. I used the seasonal variety of M & M's to make these Christmas- y. On the top of the jar I included the additions required to complete the recipe and I attached a recipe card. Since these are Cowboy Cookies I used a bandana to fancy-things up!

I bought these adorable little treat boxes after Christmas last year.
Each box holds 8 peanut cluster candies. Adorable!
Finally, these aren't homemade but don't they look like it? I bought these here and they make great gift exchange ideas from your kids to the other kids in their classroom. I'm giving mine to the younger children in our neighborhood. They're just fun!
