Cranberry Upside Down Coffee Cake

We discovered this recipe last year and made it for Christmas Breakfast. It has become a tradition for us (with this being it's second year!). The original recipe is from Cooking Light.  This year I remembered that I had inherited some Christmas Tree pans from my Grandma and decided to try making it in those. I use dried cranberries instead of dates (makes it a more uniform red), omit the walnuts (when my mom will be eating it), and omit the butter in the glaze - adding a little milk instead.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth....

Asa cut one top tooth. Hopefully the second follows soon or we'll have a small hillbilly on our hands. The Hellengas and Grandma came in to town for the weekend so Asa's gotten to meet more extended rels!

Naphtali, Carolyn, and Mom made us lunch!

Seth and Naphtali won....


I bought a gingerbread house mold to bake these in and it worked great!  I used the Pepparkakor recipe from below so they'll taste delicious too.  Seth and Naphtali won the best looking house this year...
