Christmas cakes

My mum made me a Christmas cake. 

Hot chocolate cones / Snowman Soup

I bought these cone bags last year but didn't get a chance to use them as I was too busy moving house. You can get them from Amazon and eBay. 

I filled up the cones with approximately 65g of hot chocolate powder (enough for 2 cups plus a few extra grams), I then twisted the end, tied with a tie and then trimmed down the bag.

I then taped over the end just to doubly secure it.

I then placed it in another bag making sure to line up the seams of the bags on the sides.

I found it easier to place the bags into a pint glass making it much easier to fill them and easier to keep the layers separate.

I then added about 25g of chocolate chips

Then about 25-30g of mini marshmallows.

Twisted the bag, tied with a tie and finished off with a ribbon and a candy cane.

The ribbon I bought from The Works, it was only 99p for 5m of christmas ribbon (5 different patterns x 1m).

I just need to add the labels before they are ready to give away. 

Pasta Pie

My 1st attempt at a pasta pie.

I used the recipe here although used beef mince not Turkey.
