DIY Vanilla Update

December 21, 2011 By Carole

You remember the homemade vanilla that I made a few weeks ago, right? The time has come to start distributing this deliciousness and I want to show you the labels that I made for it.

I got round printable labels at Michael’s and then went on the company website to download a template for them. I played around a bit with the font and color and finally settled on a design I liked. I had to actually tape the strip of labels to a sheet of 8 1/2 X 11 paper in order to get it to feed correctly through my printer but once I figured that out it went very quickly.

I am very happy with how they look and I had fun taking a few glamour shots of the bottles. Now I can’t wait to try the vanilla!

    Carole, not only is this a lovely gift but I cannot believe how
    lovely the label is! When I first looked at the picture I thought
    you had purchased a new vanilla! I have to do this next year.
    Hopefully I can find your recipe. Actually I should find it now and print it! Very nice.

    Beautiful presentation! Can’t wait to hear about the taste. Good vanilla makes all the difference in baking. Pardon me while I get out my cookie sheets.

    Very pretty! I have vanilla ready to decant, too, but I’m not sure I’ll have such pretty labels!

    They look great. I’ll try that with my Elderberry Liquor that is ready to be bottled.

    That looks super cute! I woke up this morning and told Lino that I was going to make vanilla for gifts — he said, “what about the bottles.” Oh, good point! Next year! Bring on the granola!!

    I’m a copy cat! This year i made your neopolitan cookies for a swap, and next year I’m making Vanilla… and I can’t count the number of pairs of socks i’ve made with your pattern! I must be a Carole wanna be!

    Thank you for your inspiration and for sharing your life.
    Merry Christmas my internet friend!

    twinkle lights make everything look glamorous, don’t they?! I’m sure the vanilla tastes as good as it looks!

    I love everything about this! The idea, the effort and care, the awesome photograph, the holiday nail polish…. Classic (and Classy) Carole!

    I labeled mine today too…thank you SO much for the idea! It’s been a lot of fun. 🙂

    Great labels….I’ll have to search them out at Michael’s. I also made the vanilla recipe you posted. For labels, I just made some hand lettered labels and used shipping tape to affix them. Still looks good, but I like your stickable labels. Merry Christmas!

    Ooo, lovely! I made peach brandy and haven’t been able to find bottles. I’m glad to have found a source!

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
