Christmas Treats

I loved making these. I wanted to make a collection of treats that were Christmas-themed. I decided on ginger cupcakes with brandy butter-icing and chocolate orange cupcakes, as they are both flavours I associate a lot with this season.


Ginger cupcakes with brandy-butter icing, topped with Christmas sprinkles and crushed ginger biscuits.


Orange cupcakes with chocolate truffle icing, topped with a chocolate orange segment.

I also made snowflake sugar cookies with edible glitter which were really cute and tasty. I just need to perfect the art of transferring difficult shapes onto a baking sheet without them stretching about.
