🎵It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas🎵— Don’t tell me you didn’t sing that in your head, because I know you’re lying.😂


December ❄️is hands down my favourite month because it’s literally the season to be jolly. The winter wonderland vibes ☃️ are in full swing, and it’s like you can just feel the magic✨ in the air. It’s the month where your brain clicks off from work, the blankets come out, the stove’s bubbling with hot chocolate, and festive movies play on a loop. Oh, and of course, it’s the month when we all put on a little holiday weight, but let’s not even talk about that — it’s meant to be guilt-free, right?☺️


If it were up to me, I’d give everyone the whole month off, but unfortunately, the government hasn’t granted me world domination just yet. Don’t worry though, once I manage my take over, you best believe I’m making this happen. 😉


So, I stumbled upon the cutest little doughnut muffin tin thingy. I don’t even know what it’s actually called, so let’s just go with “said baking tin” for now. Anyway, it makes your cakes adorable, fun, and super festive. Plus, the kids absolutely love it — especially my very impressionable 6-year-old sister.


My sister acted like it was the cutest thing she’d ever seen (and trust me, she has way too many gimmicky things already!). If you want to be the best aunt or big sister, or godmother then you must get one of these! Seriously, I’m like, top-tier sibling status right now. Although… I do wonder how long that will last.😜


But hey, maybe don’t tell the parents about the sugar overload. I’m pretty sure my dad wasn’t thrilled to get his daughter back home on a sugar high. But hey, that’s not my problemo! 😂😂😂


Top Tip: Make sure you spread a generous amount of butter in the tin to avoid the cakes sticking. Otherwise, you’ll be in for a pain of a clean-up.

Con: The tin is a bit of a hassle to wash, but honestly, once you see the little cakes, it’s kind of worth it. (Cough-Kind of) 😅


PS: My cakes aren’t burnt, I swear. They’re just a little darker because I used demerara sugar. Why? Because I thought I had caster sugar, but my mum gave it to the neighbours. Once I realised, I was too lazy too brave the cold to get more. Thankfully, my sister was so obsessed with the tin that she didn’t notice my little sugar swap. Moral of the story: Double-check your ingredients, unlike me! There was enough icing to cover the taste, but in all honesty, they were a little too strong for my liking. So, lesson learned: don’t use demerara sugar.

Link for the best baking tin ever is here. It’s literally just over a tenner, which has to be the cheapest Christmas present ever. No, this isn’t a paid promotion, but Amazon – if you’re listening – it wouldn’t kill you to send me a little something, right?🤑 I’m pretty sure I’ve sent you enough money over the years. Jeff Bezos, Can you hear me? I’d like to cash in my dividends please. I really think I’ve earned it with being a loyal customer and all…😂

Happy Baking! 😘
