The easiest means to save cash on food is to forego a sit-down dinner party or great snack bar. While everyone else hosts cocktail celebrations, have coffee and dessert instead. Supply cocktails and Christmas cupcakes for your Christmas guests, and point the bill of fare towards hungry favourites like hot chocolate, hot apple cider and eggnog. Assemble a coffee bar to come with a smorgasbord of cakes, biscuits and other luxurious treats. Sweets like apple pie a la mode, gingerbread cookies and Buche de Noel (Christmas log) are surefire childhood favourites. Warm everyone’s spirits before they venture out by dishing out hot mugs of Wassail. Not only is Wassail a warm spiced up and sugary beverage made from ale or wine, the word is also a greeting as well as the action of “toasting to one’s wellness.”
For celebrations, set the cake stands and platters on a coffee table, dining table or buffet table. Dress the area with a few pretty candles or by scattering dried cranberries or holly berry leaves across the tablecloth below the cake stands. If you are having your home baked treasures to someone else, or are passing them as a gift, wrap them up just like a present. Local craft stores sell splendid pastry and sweet boxes that are ideal. Also, check out sweet boxes, which make for a gorgeous display - they are so beautiful your recipient will feel bad opening them!
