| 8 | Fruit and marshallow kebabs - Recently for a bring-a-plate supper someone had made small kebabs with fresh fruit (kiwifruit and strawberries) and marshmallows - with the green and red of the fruit + white marshmallows they looked lovely and Christmassy and were a really really popular item. :-)) Edited by 245sam at 9:41 pm, Sun 16 Dec 245sam - 2012-12-16 21:40:00 |

| 12 | Saw a picture of blueberries on a skewer - novel way to make an expensive fruit go further (they were alongside strawberries drizzled with chocolate). You'd need the short skewers. gardie - 2012-12-17 04:54:00 |
| 13 | I have made a trio of sorbets to go with fruit salad for those who are wanting a lighter option but also will have a big home made pav with raspberries and blueberries and a drizzle of white chocolate and a very light melt in mouth lemon cheesecake. Still deciding if I will make my popular chocolate mousse which could be presented in sherry glasses. Another option for a tasting platter would be profiteroles. As a change from chocolate truffles my family likes apricot balls edlin - 2012-12-17 06:44:00 |

This reminded me of the 'dessert' I did last Christmas. I threaded mini marshmellows & blueberries onto those umbrellas you use to decorate drinks with. Really easy to do & look great. sue1955 - 2012-12-17 12:10:00 |

| 18 | I'm not so sure about the fondants Ellie. They can become chocolate muffins in the blink of an eye! And after a few glasses Christmas bubbles they could turn into chocolate rock-cakes. Edited by bedazzledjewels at 3:09 pm, Mon 17 Dec bedazzledjewels - 2012-12-17 14:55:00 |

That's such a cool idea and very much Christmas themed. I love it. And not too heavy either. wildflower - 2012-12-17 15:40:00 |
| 20 | I do a large platter of "apres-ski" every year. daleaway - 2012-12-17 16:21:00 |
| 21 | Mini trifles are easy to assemble and look great. Also, little cream puffs with choc sauce drizzled over the top and perhaps a dollop of cream. Edited by rumpelstiltskin at 5:25 pm, Mon 17 Dec rumpelstiltskin - 2012-12-17 17:25:00 |
| 22 | I did mini desserts last year and Im doing them again this year. Last year was mini xmas mince pies, mini bonafee pies, chocolate raspberry brownie, peanut butter truffles, jellys in shot glasses, truffle in shot glasses, choclate strawberries, I brought mini brandy cases and had ambrossa in them, jaffa mousse. This year so far I have made chocolate cups which need something in them, I have made ginger biscuits in the shape of stars to sit on the side of a shot glass that has lemon silk in it, mini xmas pies, young ones want volka shots this year, also made the base for mini cheesecakes. and also mini pav's. Its lots of fun and you get to try more things,. chooky - 2012-12-17 18:00:00 |

| 24 | Wow chooky I am so so impressed what do you use to shape all of the mini bases etc - I want to create this exact thing. Every single one of them sound delicious, expecially the ginger biscuits and lemon silk tasha8 - 2012-12-17 18:24:00 |

| 41 | Love the idea of mini desserts - any other ideas/ recipes for minis? suzanna - 2013-12-06 08:03:00 |
| 42 | I get a bit carried away with desserts at Christmas and make far too many (probably in the desire that there is enough for everyone for boxing day breakfast too!). For mini desserts I would make meringues and use the yolks for crème brulee (if you can get small enough ramakins for it. A very very easy thing to do that always seems far more complex/posh than it actually is, is panacotta (sp?), which could be set in those little plastic sample cups which would be suitable for small individual serves. gennie - 2013-12-08 10:18:00 |

The yule log takes me back to my childhood as Mum made one every year. Usually baking the chocolate roll herself but using a shop bought in later years. I always liked helping with the decoration, (got to lick the spoon afterwards) and she always had a little Robin and holly on the top. nauru - 2014-12-10 14:29:00 |
| 48 | I was watching Paul Hollywood decorate a Christmas log at the weekend and he piped on the icing to make it look like bark - even Mr 17 said "it's easier to just spread it all on and use a fork" - saves washing up too! This year I am adding traffic light jellies to the mix and tiramisu or trifle instead of pavlova for the dessert meal - pavlova will be Christmas Day dessert sarahb5 - 2014-12-10 14:53:00 |
