the challenge

After a trip to Ikea and finding some very reasonably priced air tight jars I have got to thinking about Christmas gifts (early I know.) Previously I have made mince pies, gingerbread men and chocolate crispie stars etc and wrapped them in cellophane. The jars that I found would be lovely with some ribbon and a decoration added. So now I have to get to thinking about what to put in them aside from the usual (after all a baked gift is not just for Christmas!)
Now that I have begun to settle on a cookie recipe (though it goes stale very fast) I think the shortbread and flapjack worlds are the next that I wish to explore. On the larger scale I want to find a fantastic chocolate cake recipe, the 'celebration' cake as it were.
First stop shortbread and then playing with different flavours.
