Festive Baking



Here are some recipes that I put together a while ago.


Sparkly Stars


These are simple to make. Bake a batch of plain cupcakes, when pouring the ingredients into a cupcake holder try placing some lemon curd in the middle.

Whilst cooking, roll some ready made icing and either cut or stamp a star shaped cutter into the icing. Once the cupcakes are cooled place the star on top and top with some edible sprinkles.


Mince Pies



Delicious at Christmas! Mine were quite small. I cooked them by mincemeat already made up, I made basic pastry rolled it into shape and placed it into the oven.


Sweetheart Cupcakes and love cookies


These cupcakes are romantic at Valentines or for a special occasion.

The cupcakes were made up of chopped rhubarb which softens in the oven. Rhubarb muffin recipe is available on this blog. The topping was butter and icing sugar with pink food colouring. I topped it with a chopped quarter strawberry.

The cookies were made out of the same recipe as the star sugar cookies and then red writing allowed etching of words such as ‘love’ and ‘kiss’
