Hands up if you show your love at Christmas by making food 🙋♀️ Now, hands up if you also run out of time for all of the foods you want to make for the people you love 🙋♀️ There are a lot of festive sweets that I enjoy making that are a little more time consuming, like brandy snaps with ultimate whipped cream, gingerbread cookies and a good old traditional Christmas fruit cake, but sometimes a girl also needs something that's a little quicker to put together.
