Hello my lovelies! Did we all have a beautiful Christmas? Here in Britain we were promised a White Christmas but sadly we ended up with a very, very, wet Christmas instead.
Nevertheless we still managed to have a lovely time. Presents were given and received, food was eaten and a lot of non alcoholic wine was drunk by Mr Lardshow and I.
So to the homemade presents we made... our little white house has been smelling a lot like a little gingerbread house recently. Mr Lardshow helped me to make the gingerbread snowflakes and then on Christmas Eve when he had to go to work I brought the biscuits up to bed and got to work on the icing.
I really enjoyed icing these biscuits. There's no set design that you have to do, you can make them as basic or as complicated as you want. They did take me a long time though. Nearly 3 hours! The ones I'm most impressed with are the smaller snowflakes. They actually look like snowflakes!
I love the contrast of the brown and white, they match our presents that we wrapped up with brown paper and string.
So it will soon be new year's eve and the lovely Miss Rachel is coming up to stay. I can't wait to get cooking with her.
2013 is going to be a new start. I. Can't. Wait.
Love. Love. xBx
They are so intricate, Beth, can tell you spent hours on them! (And they taste fab as well.) Hope you enjoyed yesterday evening (you and Tone) ;)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! They did take a long time but they were worth it. Glad you liked them. Tone was disappointed he only got the leftover broken bits! xx ♡ xx
