I am planning on making this on Christmas Eve:

and later in the week will have a go at this one:

and this will be made at some point during the week (I am hoping it freezes well!):

(basically Christmas = time to bake breads and other fiddly things!)

I will also be making a trifle, mini mince pies with fondant icing stars (was going to make them this weekend until I hurt my back), cheese scones, and some other savoury nibbly bits. I did so many cookies and cakes last year when my English family were over for Christmas that I am all sweeted out (the mince pies are for the office, and the trifle is just a christmas necessity frankly!)
