Beautiful baby bundt cakes with all the spicey flavours associated with the festive season. In Holland spiced cookies called ‘Speculaas’ and ‘Kruidnoten’ are traditional for this time of year, so I thought how about some spiced cakes as well to add to the mix. These are then glazed with a creamy butterscotch glaze and given a light dusting with cinnamon sugar. Brilliant!

Christmas is literally right round the corner, so this is me preparing early and testing out new recipes that I will replicate on a later date. These cookies are so delicious and with just one batch you can make up to fifty cookies. Serve them at home or pack them up and give them as gifts, either way they will be much appreciated.

Want a cake to impress, other than a traditional fruit cake, this festive season? Then this cake is it. A beautiful chocolate génoise filled with luscious cream and raspberries, all encased in a layer of thick fudge. It looks fancy but it isn’t hard to do.

Honing my skill in decorative confectionary, I chose to make this vanilla meringue tower for the last office meeting before they shut for the Christmas season. It wasn’t exactly difficult …. but let’s just say one just needs a healthy dose of patience.

All the good things in life seems to start with the letter ‘C’, like cream cheese, cranberries, chocolate, Christmas and carrot cake. I like all manner of spiced cake with fruit in it and the carrot cake is no exception (so long as its low in nuts). I thought I would give it a go considering I have never made a carrot cake in my life.

Sinterklaas kapoentje HO! HO! HO! Very busy day today ~ last minute prep for the upcoming Sint & Piet Day festival here in the Netherlands. To be honest, it’s really the feast of St Martin first, then its Sint & Piet day. Prior to Sinterklaas’ arrival, on the evening of St Martin’s day, children celebrate by going door-to-door with paper …

This is both a review of a new silicone pan and the tale of an epic fail when a friend and I got a little over zealous with the baking ideas. What was meant to be a yummy and ingeniously baked cake turned out to be a rather ghastly bloody mess. Read on … if you dare.

Cracking your head wondering what to make this festive season? Can’t be bothered soaking and prepping fruit mince for a traditional Christmas cake? Then opt for this wonderful citrus loaf, dotted with red ruby cranberries. Drizzle an orange glaze over the top and you are all set.
