My Christmas Bakes
These were my Christmas bakes for the year 2010! Nothing unusual like fruits cake & chocolate chips cookies been baking it for the past years for family, friends and colleagues. However I did try out some new recipes like the brownie from Just Desserts by Daniel Tay and a very easy Nutella cake from Hearty Bakes.
