Using chocolate truffles to garnish a cake may not be what you would normally do to decorate a cake. But WHY NOT! It’s holiday. All that matters is fun and tasty and pretty. And go along your heart.
DIY Gingerbread House
Happy Holidays!
I know kids are all done with their gingerbread house decoration. But maybe you could still gather the kids in your family during Christmas to decorate one or two if they are not too busy with the presents. Ha! Ha! I mean, why not? Just something to get them entertained, and the adults can drink and chat.
Lemon Raspberry Sponge Cake with White Chocolate Shards
Another festive dessert for the holiday. Red and white can never go wrong with Christmas. This one is less complicated than the croquembouche I made last time. In fact this one is quite simple to make. I know only the white chocolate shards might already look intimating. But this was my first time making them, and they came out beautifully.
Croquembouche
Only looking at this cute little croquembouche tower. Only looking at it! This is called FESTIVE!
Cream puffs filled with vanilla pastry cream. Lots of them. A little tree tower for Christmas. I know you don’t want to destroy it, but it’s also hard to resist the temptation. So I just used half of cream puffs to make the tower, the other half of them……gone!
Ginger Citrus Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Try this carrot cake if sometimes you are as lazy as I am, and find even grating carrot is too much work.
