What are you all baking for Christmas?

[WUME]

I may steal ideas as I only have mincepies to do.

[SantasBassoon]

Sausage rolls and mince pies.

[Lazymummy2014]

Christmas fruit and nut biscotti! Really easy, looks and tastes great. I've made a big batch to give as gifts. Recipe is on the bbc website - Google Christmas biscotti. Yum!

[FixItUpChappie]

for dessert-like items.....

-blueberry muffins (for Christmas morning)
-mini cheesecakes
-sugar cookies (with the kids)
-Apple oval (needs to be made Christmas Day for Christmas Eve dessert - it's kind of an Apple cinnamon roll type thing)

[juneybean]

Thinking about a rum truffle torte

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

No mince pies (I can cook them but they never work at Christmas)

Cupcakes with pale blue icing and The Snowman cases#Fairy cakes in The Snowman cases with snowflake sprinkles

Chocolate cornflake cakes (OK , not cooked )

Chocolate brownies

Apple pies

White chocolate cookies (Martha Stewart recipe)
Scones

There will be more baking but I haven't decided what else yet. DC's want to make jam tarts for Santa so that's easy enough.

Shortbread stars for Santa........that's it! Oh and the kids want to make a sleigh out of mini rolls, choc fingers, Jaffa cakes, skittles and candy canes (but that doesn't count, as no baking involved, just lots and lots of mess!)
I have no idea how to make this btw, just going with the flow.......

[Mouthfulofquiz]

I'm doing some mincemeat and marzipan puff pastry things. Mainly as a vehicle for getting marzipan into my gob.

[HemanOrSheRa]

I 3rd lazymummy with the christmas biscotti. Easy, looks good, tastes great and keeps for ages. I have made eccles cake mince pies (in the freezer). Over the next couple of days I'll bake 2 fruit tea loaves (from the goodfood website), bread, a yule log and a cheese and onion slice (also from GF website). Maybe a gingerbread house too....
