This were the best I have made to date after 5 hours in the slow cooker. They were light and fluffy, filled with different fruits and a touch of rum. Delicious with lashings of custard and some brandy cream!

I decided to add an individual feature to my mince pies this year and added a chilli pepper cut out on top. I think you'll agree they look rather nice. Anyone who knows me, knows I love chilli peppers!

This cheesecake won the bake off at my work Christmas do this year! It is a white chocolate cheesecake, with a ginger nut biscuit base and a twist of lime. The cheesecake has a smooth, velvety texture. 

I added this to my list of xmas goodies this year and immediately it became a best seller. It has a crunchy texture, bursting with crushed maltesers in the middle as well as on top.

This cake uses oil instead of butter in the sponge so its very moist. It is also bursting with chocolate flavour using cocoa powder in both the sponge and icing. I made this cake for my nephew, Ellis is is 7 today! Chocoholic birthday cake

ooh I made truffles with a good quality dark chocolate and a few tablespoons of baileys liqueur. They smell divine when you open the fridge door with an aroma of chocolate and Baileys!

Here are a couple of Christmas puddings I made at the weekend, ordered and ready for collection! I cooked them in the slow cooker for 5 hours which i find is the best way for them to cook with all the flavours coming together beautifully.

This year I am trying a new Christmas cake recipe. I can smell it is cooking in the oven now.  The smell of cinnamon, brandy and  a mixture of dried fruit cooking together is somehow comforting! I shall be feeding the cake with a dash of brandy over the next few weeks before icing it.

This is a great recipe form the legendary Mary Berry. I bought some quality plain chocolate and filled the cookie dough with as much chocolate chunks as I could fit. Baked in the oven for 12 minutes. Pure heaven eaten warm as the chocolate is melted in the middle as you bite into the cookie! 

My absolute favorite - millionaire shortbread. Buttery base of shortbread, with a thick caramel filling and topped with white chocolate. Delicious!

OMG bursting with mixed spices, cinnamon and nutmeg this slice of apple heaven is delicious. I have been having a slice a day as part of my daily 5 a day! I also added currants in the middle together with the apples, which made a nice combination.

Highly calorific but truly scrumptious! A light and fluffy cheesecake filled with Oreo cookies from the base to the top.
