Christmas Baking has begun!!

Yep, it's officially 1 month to Christmas now!! Whoa {slapping back of hand on forehead}, it's time to get the tree out from underneath the piles of sheets and towels in my linen cupboard and it's time to start baking my fave Christmas cakes/cookies/sweet treats! It's also time for me to try out some new recipes this year, YAY!! Well, they are only new to me, Mum and Yvette have been making them forever, but I'm gonna try them now. Last night I baked a Buche Noel (Yule Log) but it's for tomorrow's supervisor meeting at work so I only baked the cake and will fill and decorate later tonight after the "Build a Gingerbread House" night at Church! That will be fun!! But I did totally make these gorgeous tiny Christmas Puddings last night! Yvette made them for Christmas 2 years ago and man, I must have eaten about 10 of them! They are so so so so so moorish and I want to keep eating them forever!! They are really easy and fun to make and I put them together sitting at the dinner table watching NCIS! Multi-tasking :) They are made from crumbled Dark fruit cake, a bit of cocoa mixed in, white chocolate drizzled on top and some glace cherries to finish them off! I ended up with about 26 in total so there's plenty to share around, and eat for myself!!
Happy Hump Day of the Week!!

I am so glad I past on my appreciation for fiddly fancy cakes and desserts. You try so many new things. Keep the traditions going!!
People really appreciate the trouble you go to and the TASTE of home made stuff. I'll have to find NEW things to make now my oldies are passed down.
Happy Christmas build up.
Love Mum
PS ofear: when you get into bed and realise next weeks is Christmas and you haven't cooked the Christmas pudding.
