Order Your Christmas Eve Box via Our E-Shop!

Happy December, everyone! It’s almost here! Today the spotlight is on our cute as can be Christmas Eve boxes! Yes, boxes… plural. We launched last month with one, but it has been so popular (we sold out twice, but we have since re-stocked) that we put together a sweet LIMITED EDITION North Pole themed hamper. We like to think that all our treats are great for both kids and big kids (aka adults), but our North Pole version would be utterly adorable for children to enjoy on Christmas Eve.

First let’s have a peek inside our original Christmas Eve Box. It’s the perfect set of night time sweets. Get your favourite Christmas film on play, grab a huge blanket and make sure you have this box of goodies in front of you. If you want to share it that’s great! If you want it all to yourself though we don’t blame you.

Christmas Eve Box available for U.K. delivery!

Our Christmas Eve Box comes with a Hot Chocolate Bombe too, which seem to be oh so popular this year! For this specific mini hamper you can even select whatever flavour you like using the drop down menu on our product page. Photographed is our Dark Chocolate Candy Cane version. We also have Ruby Milk, White Chocolate Gingerbread and Salted Caramel available. All Hot Chocolate Bombes are crafted using the finest Belgian and Swiss couverture chocolate too. They’re also suitable for Vegetarians… with gelatine free mini marshmallows inside!

What else is in this cute Christmas Eve Box? An adorable pink Christmas tree mug hugger cookie… in gingerbread of course. A bag of mini gingerbread star cookies streaked with edible gold. A single Belgian white chocolate covered Oreo finished with a fondant snowflake. Blush Christmas Pudding macaron (Strawberry Milkshake flavour). Large vanilla marshmallow. Which treat would you pick first?

Now say hello to our LIMITED EDITION North Pole Christmas Eve Box! How cute is it? It’s a wintery wonderland of frosty treats. Perfect for all ages too. Keep the kids quiet on a frosty Christmas Eve morning with this special hamper. Treat yourself after a hard day working at home and dive into all the freshly made goodies. Or why not gift this Christmas Eve box to a loved one friend just to say you care?

North Pole Christmas Eve Box!

Inside our North Pole Christmas Eve Box is a cute snowflake mug hugger cookie in gingerbread. A White Chocolate Gingerbread Hot Chocolate Bombe. Giant vanilla bean marshmallow. A bag of five mini snowball cookies. A polar bear cookie. White Belgian chocolate covered Oreo decorated with edible lustre and a fondant snowflake.

This selection of treats includes a White Chocolate Gingerbread Hot Chocolate Bombe! It’s made using premium Belgian white chocolate and then filled with luxury hot chocolate and gingerbread spice! They’re also perfect for Vegetarians too because we’ve added gelatine free mini marshmallows inside. Finally, it’s finished with an edible lustre, drizzled with more Belgian white chocolate and then sprinkled with gingerbread sprinkles!

So why not visit our e-shop and make sure you’re ready for the festive season! All items are available for U.K. delivery or local collection!

Autumn treats for UK delivery!

Say hello to our Pumpkin Spice Latte Macarons (or PSL Macarons)! These six beauties are all dressed up as shimmering white and gold pumpkins. Each light brown macaron is piped with a cute pumpkin design before they’re filled with our coffee and pumpkin spice infused buttercream. Then they’re nestled into our small white & rose gold branded gift box. Such a chic and seasonal way to see in the autumn months.

Still loving pumpkins? Our Pumpkin Patch cookie set is both stylish yet spooky… the sweetest Halloween treat! We’ve created five different pumpkins in Madagascan vanilla featuring Halloween sprinkles, pink icing drips and shimmering gold accents. These are great for small family parties. You can even add these to fun Halloween trick or treat bags for the kids (or grown ups)!

Each season we launch a cool treat bag and this Halloween is no different! Inside every white and gold polka dot gift bag (with creepy googly eyes) is a special seasonal sweet. Sink your teeth into one of our Caramel Chocolate Covered Oreos decorated with a sprinkle studded royal icing pumpkin. Add our huge Pumpkin Spice Marshmallow to your hot chocolate for an after dinner treat. Or why not enjoy the cute Halloween macarons with a scary movie!

What’s inside?

Ghost cookie in Madagascan vanilla
Zombie bear macaron in Belgian chocolate
Brains macaron in Strawberry
Marshmallow in Pumpkin Spice
1 x Pumpkin Oreo in Caramel Chocolate
2 x Pumpkins in Belgian White Chocolate and Pumpkin Spice

One of our favourites in our autumn treats collection are these super cute Halloween macarons! They’re adorable zombie teddy bears filled with Belgian chocolate buttercream. We’ve then paired them with creepy pink macarons piped with royal icing brains and filled with a gooey strawberry centre. These are great for the kids, but we also think they’d make the perfect gift for a fun-loving grown-up.

If you’re hoping to create a spectre-cle (see what we did there) then why not add our ghost cookies to your basket? This set of 5 Madagascan vanilla cookies feature a different design on each. We’ve studded them with themed sprinkles and added the cutest expressions too. How fun would these be at your lockdown family Halloween bash!

We hope you enjoy these cute seasonal treats as much as we enjoyed making them. We still have our large macarons boxes to finalise (so excited about these) and add to keep your eyes peeled! However, you spend your autumn months please stay safe and sweet!

Quick and Easy Pumpkin Cake Decorating Tutorials!

#Reels is a new feature on Instagram that we’ve been totally enjoying since it’s launch. It’s a great way for us to share BTS videos, peeks at the latest cakes… AND 15 second tutorials! It’s pretty quick for us to film, edit and share too. We shoot everything via iPhone, photograph the end result, do a few edits and plan a good time to post. To celebrate the fact that autumn is right around the corner (yay) we’ve created 3 quick & easy pumpkin cake decorating tutorials via Reels. Head over to our Instagram to view! Just a quick note: so far you can’t view Reels via desktop or web browser so check it out via your phone or iPad.

Pumpkin cake decorating tutorials via Instagram

One of our autumn tutorials is a quick look at how to ‘paint’ modern pumpkins using royal icing. This is in the style and texture of oil paintings. We’ve done this straight onto pretty gold splatter macarons, but it’s a great technique to use on fondant or set royal icing. You can even use a stiff buttercream instead and paint onto ganached cakes.

Next, is a tutorial on how to pipe the top of a cupcake to look like a cute pumpkin. Just a good plain round tip, some silky buttercream and a few smooth swipes as you pipe can create the familiar ridged look of everyone’s favourite seasonal gourd.

Finally, how to pipe mini pumpkins with buttercream! You can create some fun pumpkin patches with this method. Use different piping tips to make different textures. Try using buttercream in different colours for a vibrant field full of pumpkins.

We’ll have more to come with Halloween and the winter season fast approaching too so keep checking back! Hope you enjoy them.
