Christmas
Day 10 – Brandy Butter
Stop, hold on, before you switch off thinking you’re not keen on brandy butter!
Day 9 – Toffee Pecan Roulade
Who loves a Toffee Pecan Meringue Roulade at Christmas?
Day 8 – Choc Cherry Panettone
Dark Chocolate and Cherry Panettone for my Day 8 recipe – made in a cupcake/muffin tin.
Make them now and stash them in the freezer! This one’s a long slow one, very little hands on to be done and plenty of get on with other stuff time – now that’s my kind of recipe!

Day 5 – Chocolate Reindeer
I have had so much fun making a herd of reindeer for Day 5 – I very much hope you’ll love these cheeky chappies as much as I do!
The body is a round ball Christmas tree chocolate!
You will need:
Ball/bauble christmas tree chocolates
Chocolate sugarpaste (Sainsburys)
White, red, orange and green sugarpastes
A little melted chocolate
Day 4 – Cranberry & Pistachio Snow Bites
How could you resist these for Day 4? A super easy recipe that’s really quick to throw together and of course they are just fab for gifts.
They’re not a fudge, but not a fondant either…imagine somewhere in between. Whatever the weather they are blooming lovely!
Day 3 – Christmas Tree Cookie Lollies
It wouldn’t be TPW 12 Days of Baking Christmas without a biscuit on a stick 😉
This year I’m going 3D for Day 3 with Christmas Tree Cookie Lollies!
You will need:
1 x batch of non-spread biscuit dough, recipe here
A set of graduated star cookie cutters (Lakeland have a set if you don’t already)
Day 2 – Christmas Pudding Chocolate Covered Oreos
Mmmmm! Christmas pudding shaped Chocolate Covered Oreos!
Now you can get specific chocolate oreo moulds that are a good deal smaller than the way I’m doing these. I don’t have one, my kitchen is bursting with equipment and I may be the recipient of an angry husband should any more essential bits and pieces make their way into our house!
Day 1 – Christmas Cakes!
Well today sees the start of The Pink Whisk 12 Days of Christmas Baking Recipes – you’ll be treated to 1 Christmassy recipe/kitchen antic a day from now until the 12th December (that’s when I collapse in an authorised heap!)
