Christmas is a great time for baking. There is seemingly no end to the festive items you can come up with. Here are some recipes you can try out.

Cupcakes

It’s just not Christmas without delicious cupcakes. Red velvet is a perfect choice as the Cake already has a festive red color. Add icing and Christmas character decorations to create a terrific treat.

Christmas Pudding

I know what you’re thinking…what? I don’t bake pudding! But the British do. The end result is more like fruitcake than actual pudding, but it’s just as delicious.

Brownies

Brownies are a delectable treat that is sure to go fast at the Christmas table. Make them festive by topping them with frosting and icing featuring Christmas characters. Create a variety with different fillings like chips and nuts and various flavorings including blondies and more.

Cookies

It’s just not Christmas without great Christmas cookies. When it comes to cookies, there are so many ways to go. You can make sugar cookies in the shape of trees and Santa heads, or you can please tastebuds with fillings like chips, nuts, and cranberries. Chocolate chip cookies are another great option.

Yule Log

The Yule Log is a traditional dessert at many holiday tables. It requires you to make a chocolate cake that’s rolled around layers of cream. It is meant to represent a log burning on the hearth as a part of Christmas tradition but eating the cake is a lot more fun!

Gingerbread

It’s just not Christmas if you don’t whip up a batch of gingerbread. You can use it to make gingerbread cookies, gingerbread houses, and any other gingerbread items. Eat it fresh out of the oven or use it as a decoration throughout the holiday season.

Cake

A cake will be the centerpiece of your Christmas table. There are so many options when it comes to the cake you make, you may even want to make a few. There’s chocolate cake, cheesecake, angel food cake, carrot cake, pound cake, and the list goes on. Be sure to decorate it festively so it works to bring the right amount of cheer.

Biscuits

Biscuits can be served alongside meals or as an appetizer. They even make a great Christmas morning breakfast. They can be flavored in a variety of ways and their light fluffy texture just screams Christmas.

Baking and Christmas go hand and hand. Now that you know some terrific items to bake, you are ready to delight your guests. Which of these will you be adding to your menu?
