11- Toblerone Fondue Cake
It seems that in our house competitive Toblerone eating is very much a Christmas tradition!
10 – Treacle Spiced Loaf Cakes
Little treacle loaf cakes with punchy Christmas Spice, a quick and easy recipe to share with your friends and family. They’re egg free too, don’t worry I haven’t missed them out of the ingredients list.

9 – Cinnamon Breakfast Buns
Cinnamon Breakfast Buns – make them up now and bob them in the freezer ready to bake on Christmas Day morning – delicious squidgy cinnamon loveliness, what could be better?
This sticky dough really does make the best of buns so it’s worth the fuss!
8 – Frosted Fancies
So I’ll be honest from the outset, these frosted fancies are a bit of work, they’re not quick to do as there’s a fair few steps from cake making, coating and covering plus the decoration and there’s a fair bit of cleaning to do afterwards!

165g plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
85g butter, cold diced

5 – Baileys Chocolate Mousse
Have you planned your Christmas desserts? You might need to squeeze these in somewhere – a simple luscious Baileys Chocolate Mousse and Shortbread Stars. If you need desserts to serve to Mums to be and the elderly (check and check) then you’ll need to avoid uncooked eggs and this little mousse is a great way to do just that!
3 – Chocolate Penguins
