Recipe | Christmas tree chocolate brownies
A simple festive bake: easy chocolate brownies + fun decorations = cute edible Christmas trees!
I was searching online of easy Christmas bakes and kept seeing pictures of triangular brownies made into cute Christmas trees by adding some green icing and sprinkles. I decided to give it a try using one of my own chocolate brownie recipes.
Ingredients (makes 12-16 Christmas tree brownies)
Recipe | Melted snowman Christmas biscuits
These melted snowman biscuits are a cute, easy festive bake.
I saw these cute snowmen biscuits on Hand Luggage Only. They’re really easy to make, so a great option if you’re short on time or if you’re baking festive treats with children.
I used my Christmas vanilla biscuit recipe which only uses 5 ingredients. Click on the link for the ingredients and instructions.
I used a large flower shaped cutter, but you could also use a large mug or glass to cut out round biscuits.
Recipe | Chocolate marshmallow penguins – cute winter treats!
Cute marshmallow penguins: sweet all year round and not just for Christmas!
Firstly I have to thank Louise at Pink Pear Bear for featuring this idea on her blog. I saw it on her Facebook feed and knew I had to give it a go. The original recipe and instructions comes from Grace at Eats Amazing. I had to change a couple of points in the instructions because I couldn’t find suitably shaped marshmallows and had to improvise and make do!
Ingredients (for 12 penguins)
Recipe | Christmas reindeer biscuits (and some Christmas trees too)
These cute reindeer biscuits are a great example of simple, yet effective decoration. An easy way to bring some festive cheer to your baking!
Back to biscuits this week. I got the idea for the reindeer decoration from here, but the recipe is my easy vanilla biscuits recipe. While I was at it, I also decided to use my Christmas tree biscuit cutter to make a few trees.
Ingredients (makes 30 – 40 biscuits depending on how big you cut them)
Recipe | Red velvet swirl brownies (with cheesecake layer!)
Red velvet cake, chocolate brownie and cheesecake in a single traybake. It must be Christmas!
No, I haven’t messed with the colour in these photos. The red is just that red!
After the success of last week’s red velvet mini bundt cakes, I was keen to continue the red velvet theme. I came across this recipe for red velvet swirl brownies here on the Food Network website. I’ve made a few little tweaks to the recipe and converted all the amounts for UK readers and other bakers who don’t follow the US cup measuring system.

Recipe | Red velvet mini bundt cakes
Already looking for festive baking ideas? These red velvet cakes are bright, fun and delicious!
I’ve made a circular, two-layer red velvet cake before. Unfortunately I used ordinary red gel food colouring from the supermarket and the result was a cake with a red tinge, rather than the deep red I was hoping for. So this time I’ve taken a tip from Jane over at Jane’s Patisserie and invested in some Sugarflair Extra Red colouring.
Ingredients (makes approx. 10 mini bundt cakes as long as you don’t over-fill your mould)
