Blog Tour Review: Snowflakes and Christmas Cakes by Lindsey Paley

2nd November 2016

Snowflakes and Christmas Cakes blog tour

It’s November now, which means it’s edging closer to winter. And you know what winter brings… Christmas! That means that it’s practically already Christmas. Okay, maybe not. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get into the Christmas spirit this year. To start off the Christmas season early, I’m taking part in the blog tour for Snowflakes and Christmas Cakes by Lindsey Paley. Here’s my review!

FORGOTTEN POST! Chocolate-Coated Peppermint Creams

24th March 2016

    <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1493" src="https://wonderfullybookish.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/peppermint-creams.png" alt="peppermint creams" width="606" height="170" />

After Christmas this year I wrote this post about festive chocolate-coated peppermint creams. I finished the post, saved it in my drafts, and forgot about it… until now! I know it’s March, but oh well – why should the post go to waste? And who says peppermint creams should just be made at Christmas?! Not me!

My top 3 Christmas films!

23rd December 2015

If you hadn't noticed already, I LOVE CHRISTMAS. One thing I've never been a huge fan of though is Christmas films, but here are 3 I actually really like!

If you hadn’t noticed already, I LOVE CHRISTMAS. It makes me so happy and it’s definitely my favourite time of year. One thing that I’ve never really been a huge fan of though is Christmas films. I’m pretty fussy with them! I don’t like farcical comedies (Home Alone, for example) and most of the ‘popular’ Christmas films I haven’t even seen (I only watched ‘Elf’ a couple of weeks ago, and I only saw half of that).

Festive Treats: Chocolate ‘Merache’

19th December 2015

chocolate-merache

A few days ago, my housemate and I made an icing similar to a chocolate ganache for a cake that she baked – we mixed melted chocolate with whipped double cream. After topping the cake with it, there was a lot of the mixture left so I did what I do best with leftover chocolate – I experimented with it. I came up with something that my mum called ‘chocolate merache’: the cream and chocolate mixture mixed with meringue. Read on to find out how I made it and how it turned out (spoiler: it’s wonderful).

Things I Love About Winter

12th December 2015

love-abut-winter

I’ll let you know something about me: I absolutely adore winter. As much as I enjoy the summer months too – the sunny weather, the long days and the opportunities to go out and do things outdoors without wearing a coat – but there’s just something about winter that makes it my favourite season of the year.
