Cakes and sweets for Christmas

There’s nothing like sitting down in front of a log fire with a mince pie to make you feel really “Christmas-y” and our spiced mince pies are simply delicious.  Have them while curled up in a big arm chair with a cup of tea or as a dessert, warmed in the oven and served with a dollop of crème fraiche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

We’ve more delicious dessert ideas for you including Lesley Waters’ Chilli Chocolate muffins with warm chocolate sauce and orange cream or our chocolate brownie recipe.  Equally delicious are Paul Merret’s baked custards with gooseberry and ginger compote and shortbread biscuits. 

If cakes are more your thing, try Phil Vickery’s Lemon and Poppy Seed cake which is a beautifully moist and tangy loaf style cake, or our extremely popular lemon curd cupcakes - delicious.
