A taste of Christmas!

Being British, it wouldn't be Christmas without cake and pudding.

So take a look at these confections I found online - some lighter on calories than others, but all a feast for the eyes.

1. Cupcake tree ornaments made with recycled old sweater cuffs - buy the greetings cards here.

2. A simple way to decorate your cake would be to use these wooden scandi-style scene makers, available here.

3. If you don't fancy a traditional Christmas pudding then how about pudding style cupcakes? Rich and  chocolatey. Recipe here.

4. If you are feeling adventurous then look here for a fab tutorial on how to make these delightful and delicious gingerbread houses. Just love the idea of a gingerbread town sitting on my kitchen table.

I plan to take time soon to try out these ideas, then I'll know what will work for my table when it comes round to December. Love to know how you get on.
