Written by Core Collective | Nov 22, 2021 5:36:50 AM

It’s the holiday season! As we fast approach the festive period, it wouldn’t be Christmas without some delicious treats to indulge in! Need some suggestions?

We've got you covered as Baker & Cook shares five of their mouth-watering recommendations!

1. Festive Gingerbread House

Gingerbread shaped as houses or in a humanoid shape is a very common sight at bakeries during the Christmas festive season. Using Baker & Cook’s much-loved gingerbread recipe, this creative table centrepiece with sugary icing on the walls and colourful sweets is the perfect festive touch. Besides looking magical, this gingerbread house is fully edible!

2. Christmas Tree Rocher

An elegant and edible Christmas tree made from dark chocolate, cranberry, citrus peel and almond – the perfect balance of sweet notes and a hint of citrus.

3. Deluxe Christmas Cake

Christmas cakes are one of the most recognisable and popular Christmas treats. They are a mainstay at any Christmas table. If you’re a fan of traditional fruit cakes, this one’s definitely for you. This Christmas fruit cake is rich, moist and dense, spiked with a generous amount of rum-soaked fruits and topped with candied nuts.

4. Reindeer Macaron (Speculoos) and Santa Macaron (Raspberry & White Chocolate)

Dainty and delectable sandwich cookies with a crisp exterior

and hand piped with two different fillings - speculoos or raspberry and white chocolate. They finish in just a couple of bites so you might find yourself buying more than a couple of pieces!

5. Deluxe Fruit Mince Tarts

Gently filled with moist fruit mince that is fruity and lightly spiced, Baker & Cook's mince tarts are then topped with lovely almond cream, studded with toasted almond flakes and baked to perfection. A treat at any time of the day.
