Making Christmas Part 2 - Cakes

Christmas is definitely a time for a bit of over indulgence and what better way than a rich boozy Christmas Cake.

I started feeding the fruit at the end of September and baked all my full size cakes at the end of October. I still had some fruit left so I decided to use my new SilverWood Baking tray to make Mini Christmas Cakes.


Using my regular Christmas Cake recipe, these beauties just took 1 hour to bake and are being eaten as we speak. A perfect Thank You  for favors and help during the year gone by

Making Christmas Part 1 - Cards

Homemade Christmas Cards are easy peasy and a great way to keep the kids busy and get the christmas spirit flowing.

All you need is some card, scraps of material, ribbons and anything you fancy, a scissors to cut the material and some glue  to stick and ta da!  




We kept it simple for the first go but you can really go mad if you want to. (Are instructions really necessary?)
