Christmas Treats

 42 Shortbread Biscuits Later...

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great Christmas and are looking forwards to the new year! For Christmas this year I made everyone some shortbread biscuits which I decorated in white royal icing. 

 

I made a set of six biscuits for each couple in my own and my boyfriends close family. This meant I had to bake and decorate 42 biscuits! It was a real challenge, but I actually really enjoyed doing it! I managed to bake them and decorate them all in one day.

I then wrapped them all up in little parcels, ready to be scoffed on Christmas day!

 

For the younger ones in my boyfriends family, I made 5 melting snowmen shortbread biscuits.

These were just as fun to make as last time!

 

Christmas Cupcakes

I also made 12 orange cupcakes for Christmas day, decorated in varying degrees of buttercream, to suit everyone's different tastes. 

Chocolate Log

And finally, I made me and my boyfriend a chocolate log for our Christmas on Christmas Eve. I used Mary Berry's Chocolate Log recipe, which was very easy to follow. 

I made all these treats over the period of just two days and I was quite impressed that I managed to do so much! Hopefully all the recipients of the goodies enjoyed them!

I got a few baking gifts for Christmas, so I am hoping to do some baking before I go to London next year (very soon), so stay tuned!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
