It’s our favourite time of year. Decorations are sparking, the food is piling up in the fridge and cupboards, current chart songs get pushed to the side on radio stations for any ditty with a bell in it and it’s one of the only times you can get away with walking around the shops dressed as an elf. You guessed it… it’s Christmas! We’re about to shut up shop until the the new year arrives so we thought we’d wish everyone happy holidays!
Here’s just a few of the photographs we managed to take during our hectic festive work period of the treats that left our kitchen! From our Pink Candy Cane macarons to Gingerbread Latte cupcakes we sure were kept busy whipping up a flurry of sweets for everyone’s festivities.
Above is our Belgian Chocolate and Frosted Madagascan Vanilla cupcake finished with sugar crystal sprinkles and a lovely shimmering snowflake! All our festive cupcakes this year were baked in fabulous gold cupcake cases. If you know our work or read our blog regularly then you’ll definitely know how much we love gold. These pretty gold cupcake cases are utterly perfect for glamorous cupcakes and for festive feasts.
Here’s just one of the many boxes of Christmas cupcakes that found new homes (and tummies) in time for the party season! Filled with Gingerbread Latte cupcakes (Fortnum & Mason Queen’s Blend coffee, ginger and allspice cupcake with Madagascan vanilla buttercream), Apple Strudel cupcakes (cinnamon spice cupcake with apple and sultana filling and Madagascan vanilla buttercream then finished with gold dust and a golden star) and our Belgian Chocolate and Frosted Madagascan Vanilla cupcakes these went down a treat (no pun instead) and sold out in a matter of hours!
Above are our Pink Candy Cane macarons; pale pink shells filled with Belgian white chocolate and peppermint oil infused ganache then encrusted with crumbled pink candy cane! For anyone not too keen on minty tastes we even made a fruity alternative… our Pink Lemonade macarons with a cherry flavoured candy cane crushed pieces and a hint of edible glitter!
So now that Christmas Eve is here and our work and bake lists have emptied for the time being we wish everyone out there a wonderful and bright holiday season filled with best wishes and merriment! Have a fabulous time!
