Christmas Baking/Hampers
What are you lot going to be cooking over Christmas? Not the big ol' Christmas din dins, but I'm talking about all the yummy treats!
I'm a bit strapped for cash, and I thought it might be nice to do some baked goods for Phil's family. I don't know, I feel I don't know them well enough to justify buying a present for them, so baking them a nice desert is quite personal but nice - and isn't too much!
I got a lovely tart tin a few weeks ago, so I'd like to make some chilled pies! I've been looking at Nigella's Grasshopper Pie as it looks so amazing!
I also found a recipe for Red Velvet Biscuits. These look fantastic, and a bit less time consuming than the cake - and they'll keep a bit longer too!
I make delicious vanilla shortbread that I'd like to try some flood icing on as they always look spectacular!
And no doubt I'll be making my famous Christmas trifle which is filled with booze and calories!
I can't wait! There's something about cooking up lots of sweet treats at Christmas to box up and give away!
Ooooh! I'm also planning on making a Pavlova with homemade salted caramel ice cream. I'll probably top it off with lots of berries and lashings of caramel sauce. Mmmmmm!!! I can't waaaaaaait!!!!
