Day 3 – Marshmallow Snowflakes

Posted on December 3, 2014 by The Pink Whisk

These seem to be all over the place in the shops at Christmas time so I thought it was time I figured out how we do them at home – and it’s easier than I thought.

Day 2 – Gingerbread Reindeer Barns

Posted on December 2, 2014 by The Pink Whisk

How much fun are these? When Lindt sent me a chocolate delivery (yes I know, that’s a great delivery to get) I knew I had to come up with something Christmassy – there was no way I was melting those Reindeer down for truffles!

Ice White Snowflakes Cake

Posted on December 1, 2014 by The Pink Whisk

This is a stunningly simple cake and can be adapted to suit your own selection of cutters and kitchen implements! The snowflakes are made from modelling paste instead of a regular sugarpaste as it dries harder much more quickly and can be rolled extremely thinly.

Day 12 – Potato Skins – Festive Style!

Posted on December 12, 2013 by The Pink Whisk

Festive Potato Skins are the last recipe in my 12 Days run. Ideal for feeding hungry children, adding to your buffet table or for using up any Christmas dinner leftovers. These can be done easily with smaller potatoes too if you have lots to feed.
