Christmas Tree Cupcakes

A classic family activity that makes it easy for the kids to get involved is decorating cupcakes. The beauty of Christmas is that there is so much great iconography for you to select as your cupcakes. A Snowman, Santa Claus, Reindeer etc., all fit the bill, but our personal favourite is a beautiful Christmas Tree.

Merry Mince Pies

A more subtle and mature alternative you can try baking is a traditional Christmas mince pie. This sweet treat, originating here in the UK, is filled with mincemeat consisting of fruit, spices and suet. It was once believed that eating one mince pie a day in the lead up to Christmas brought you good luck in the New Year.

Perfect Christmas Puddings

Does it get any more traditional than the humble Christmas pudding? A Christmas Pudding has a sticky, dense sponge, much like a fruitcake. It is made from mixed dried fruit, candied fruit peel, apple, citrus juice, and zest. The addition of brandy and spices provide a deep, complex flavour and signature dark colour.

Follow this step by step recipe to bake your own classic Christmas pudding.
