Gingerbread Cookies (Ugly Sweater)

I found a Taste Of Home blog that listed "Every Christmas Cookie You'll Ever Need" for a total of 100. This was actually a recipe for Ugly Sweater cookies, but I read that the dough was gingerbread so I decided to use fall cutters instead with orange-tinted icing and chocolate sprinkles. I'm working on perfecting my royal icing and piping techniques as we roll into the holidays so this was a good (not-so-good ;) start.

[Oh, and we're in the process of moving and I packed my rolling pin for some reason, so I improvised with a mason jar...next time I'll either get the neighbor's or use a wine bottle (advice from others).

Upside Down Gingerbread Pear Cake (AIP, dairy-free, gluten-free)

Once again, my attempt to make AIP desserts. When it comes to cakes and pastries, I haven't found one that has the texture I like. This one turned out good in flavor but grainy and didn't rise like a cake. The cake looked beautiful though and I'll probably try a regular version (with flour and eggs). Appreciate the friends and hubby who were willing to try it with me. It didn't go to waste. :)
