Christmas 2012

Posted on December 28, 2012 by Gemma Phillips

Hello everyone,

December has been a busy month, we have been baking up a Christmas storm :) but as you all probably know, we love Christmas here at Mimi's. Here is a selection of some of the Christmas themed cupcakes we have done.

Mince Pies were also a firm favourite, we did a delicous spin on mince pies, in the form of a mince meat slice, which was very yummy! I made my very first gingerbread house this year, and was pretty chuffed with the outcome. We got a record amount of feedback on Facebook and Twitter, with people commenting from as far away as China. I really enjoyed making it and I am now aiming to do a bigger and more complicated one next year, watch this space...

At the beginning of the month me and Mummy Mimi did a cupcake demonstration at Martin Wishart's Cook school in Edinburgh, which we both really enjoyed. We demonstrated 3 different recipes and showed lots of different Christmas icing techniques, which was really good fun. Hope everyone who came enjoyed it.

We hosted a few Christmas nights at Mimi's this year which went down really well. Thanks for all those who came & gave us such great feedback. Our Christmas themed afternoon teas also went down a treat this year.

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. My sister Ashley was back from Dubai so we all had a lovely time. It was great having her home, she helped me out in the bakery for a few days. Baking is definitely in her blood!

We also took part in The Christmas Foodie festival this month which was great. We met lots of lovely people and we were able to promote Mimi's to another part of town.

I hope everyone has a great 2013, It is going to be a very exciting year here at Mimi's, with both Natalie and me organising our weddings! and there is something exciting in the pipeline for Mimi's Bakehouse :)

All the best & lots of love Mini Mimi X
