Sausage Rolls and Mince Pies

It is the Thursday before Christmas (which is approaching fast) and there is still a lot to do, much of which is baking for gifts and cannot be done too far ahead of time. Having said that the baking is a day early as Nigel and I will be hosting the first of two full Christmas dinners tomorrow and therefore need plenty of time to prepare.

Traditionally the last baking before the holiday at this time of year is Sausage Rolls and Mince Pies and I understand that everyone is looking forward to these.  Hopefully they will not disappoint, except in the limited quantity of two dozen of each.

Happy Holidays to everyone reading this post.

Normal service will be resumed in the New Year.

Enjoy!

Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies

Christmas is fast approaching and it has become a tradition that I make these cookies, not only for the office but as gifts.

Thank you for the card and have a hope everyone has an enjoyable and relaxing Christmas and New Year.

Coconut Cake with Coconut Drizzle

The recipe this week is one that I am baking for the first time, not only that but I have changed the shape of the pan as it is meant to be a bundt and that does not work well for the office.  I came across this recipe in the latest issue of Ricardo Magazine and it intrigued me as Nigel likes coconut.  One of the main ingredients is coconut milk.

In the recipe this cake is dusted with icing sugar but as I changed the shape I decided to make a coconut drizzle.

Enjoy!
