Cakes for the Christmas Season

Christmas is a time for family, celebration and of course food. After spending the morning preparing your roast, perhaps baking a turkey or chicken to perfection and wrapping sausages up in bacon, you’ll want to relax.

The great thing about Christmas cakes is they can be bought in advance and made by an expert, so you can sit back and enjoy a special sweet treat without spending more time in the kitchen than you have to.

In fact, it has never been easier as there are a variety of Christmas cakes to buy online.

The benefits of purchasing Christmas cakes

·         High-quality products with an “awe-like” quality
·         Less stress over the Christmas break to prepare everything
·         A wide-range available that are inventive and impressive
·         No mess to clear up after baking!
·         Something everyone can enjoy once a year

Traditional or novelty?

Really, this is the only question you need ask yourself about Christmas cakes, and there is no wrong answer as it is down to personal preference.

Dunn’s London bakery offers a selection of both, which are equally appealing.

Traditional

·         A taste from childhood that will bring back youthful memories
·         An addition to the rituals of Christmas; the traditional tree, mistletoe and Christmas crackers
·         After so many years, traditional cake recipes have been honed and perfected to create a guaranteed delicious experience

This ‘Christmas Pudding’ is made using a family recipe that has been handed down the generations within Dunn’s Bakery. Containing Californian raisins, currants, free range egg and French Brandy, it is enough to make the mouth water.



It also comes complete in a China Bowl, beautifully wrapped in Muslin.

Novelty

·         Something different that stands out
·         A “once in the year” experience, perhaps a new one altogether
·         Sweet, tasty treats worthy of photographs and good presentation

These ‘Santas Chimney’ cakes are perfect for children, or for adults recapturing the magic of Christmas and the promise it brings of gifts and joy.



Producing the icing decoration of Santa’s legs going down the chimney is difficult, and professional bakers offer the best results.

The best thing about these cakes is that they will make people smile and laugh.

Merry Christmas!

However you spend your Christmas Eve, and whatever you eat on Christmas Day, have a great time over the break and enjoy all your Christmas treats!
