Festive Bakes

Welcome back to my Blogmas! I hope you are enjoying the Christmas content. I’m starting to feel really festive now, especially after all the Christmas baking I’ve been up to! I wanted to incorporate some Christmas treats into my blogs and you can’t get more indulgent than Terry’s Chocolate Brownies! I’ve also whipped up an orange and cranberry shortbread recipe which will keep any visitors happy whilst popping in for last minute cups of tea. What do you like to bake at Christmas?

Male Gift Guide…

Men can be a real pain to buy for sometimes! They don’t like “stuff” and things need to be practical. I do believe that every man enjoys Christmas presents though and finding something to suit is sometimes easier than you think! I’ve got a few suggestions of what I think will go nicely in this male gift guide haul and hopefully this will keep you earning brownie points!

Festive Ice Skating

I don’t know about you but I get really excited about the ice skating opportunities around Christmas. If I was sportier, ice skating would be my number one choice of exercise as it’s fun, elegant and actually burns lots of calories! I love going to the pop up rinks around Christmas time and although I am not the best skater I really enjoy going! I used to own roller blades when I was little and so I think my inner child loves to skate.

Stocking Fillers…

I love buying gifts for people and had great fun coming up with stocking ideas for you! All these gifts are under £15 and so they make perfect stocking fillers or small gifts.

Mince Pies

You can’t go wrong with mince pies at Christmas so let’s start on a high and get baking! For these festive treats, I’ve used a Mary Berry recipe as inspiration but made a few changes. I didn’t make any mince pies last year and my first mince pie was Christmas Day so this year I’m making up for it! This is such a great one to make ahead and then warm up when you have guests coming around!
