If you're the sort of person who makes their christmas cake then around now you're probably thinking about icing it.
This cake just ticks all my boxes, super simple, elegant, and rather unusual.

Today brings an idea for a decoration. Some very sweet snowmen, you could make the scarves out of colours to match your Christmas colour scheme, which in our house just so happens to be, anything goes....

If you're in to handmade gifts and know people who like to create and make things this blog has a great collection of things to gift in jars, not so great if you need to post your presents, but a really sweet gifting idea.
This would be a really useful, yet pretty way to gift someone a sewing kit, usable amounts of thread rather than the tiny amounts you get in some kits, some proper size safety pins, buttons that you wouldn't mind sewing on to something, and scissors that will actually cut!
This idea I could see being transformed for some friends I have that are in to biking, a few energy gels, some nice flapjack, and a bit of investigation to find out the size and make of inner tube they use and you have a present that is actually useful, and nicely presented. If you wanted you could throw in a subscription to a good magazine, I've bought Singletrack subscriptions for a few people and they've all been really pleased with it.

I love good hot chocolate, I love it even more topped with marshmallows, so this is my idea of heaven!
You can find full details of how to make (though I'm sure you could work it out anyway) by looking here

Another recipe today, how about some homemade fudge as a Christmas present, much better than yet another box of commercial chocolates.
