I love christmas.
Put the two together and you get the most epic festive cakes.
My hope is to bake of make something every week leading up to christmas. This week I made a 3 tier gingerbread cake with espresso icing and decorated it with gingerbread cookies.
Isn't that the most christmassy thing you've heard?
My mum took it in to her work and it went down a treat. Everyone loved it!
So I thought I would create a little post on it.
The espresso icing creates a gingerbread latte taste, which means its not gingerbread sweetness overload and the bitterness just adds another flavour element.
Taa Dah!
This was the outcome. Over 2 days I created this. I make the cookies, cake and cake icing however I did cheat slightly with the cookie icing and bought designer icing from Sainsburys.
The photos aren't great but I am so so proud of my first christmas bake this year. And its went down well which is amazing. I love baking but normally I stick to cupcakes, cookies and cute individual things. Which makes this a big feat for me.
Tanya Burr's video inspired me. And I had so much fun making this. If nothing else make the cookies! it was so fun decorating them.
Hope your feeling festive.
Lots of love Laura x
