Happy Chrismakkah...

To celebrate Christmas and Hannukah, a friend of mine recently had a little gathering and she had the fab idea of combining both celebrations to make it 'Chrismakkah'. I couldn't resist but to make a little cake to bring along with me to add to her delicious spread. Another sweet festive treat :-)


Festive Treats...

Hi All,
   Its been a while since I blogged.. had a very busy few months. Had a well deserved break over Christmas so have been using the time to do a little baking!

I made a few festive cupcakes and some homemade mince pies and hoping to make some new years themed cupcakes over the next few days. Will hopefully get the pictures up for them soon!

I got a few ideas for my christmas cupcakes off google images and found the recipe for my mince pies at  the bbcfood website. 

I did a few different designs on the cakes... holly leaves, stars, christmas bauble and a present cupcake to have a few different christmas themes.

I baked the mince pies in a muffin tin as I left it too late to order individual foil wraps before christmas and it worked fine. All the mince pies came out the same size and depth which was what I hoped for and they were easy to get out of the tin (which was the main thing I was worried about).

I have attached a few photos of my festive treats... Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a happy and healthy New Year x
