These sparkly ginger owls are an adorable take on gingerbread men. We've chosen to decorate with snowy colours, but there's enough icing for you to play around with different shades.
This spooky project has no base, so battery-operated flameless tea lights can be placed inside to cast an eerie glow through the windows and door. Leave the edges untrimmed after baking to give the shack its run-down look – perfect for Halloween.
Serve up this decadent pairing of cheesecake and carrot cake topped with vanilla frosting for the best of both dessert worlds.
Tall, dark and rich, this super-chocolaty cake spikes up the drama on your buffet table. A subtle hint of raspberry complements all the chocolate. Bake it, then layer together at least a day before the final assembly. Refrigerated, the finished cake can await your guests for up to two days.
With googly eyes and a spiky-toothed grin, this spider attracts plenty of attention. Simple decorating techniques make this a great novelty cake for parties, classrooms or after-school-club treats.
Once you've made the treasure chest, use any leftover dough and icing to make fun pirate-themed cookies. Soup cans work well for propping up the cookie pieces while you're assembling the chest.
This season is all about over-the-top indulgent desserts, and this one definitely takes the cake!
The holiday season is full of traditions, and getting the family together to make an annual gingerbread project is one of the most enjoyable. This vintage truck at the Christmas tree lot will appeal to both young and old, plus it’s easy for little hands to decorate. You can bake and cut out the pieces ahead of time, then put them all together in an afternoon of fun.
This showstopping dessert will wow your crowd with both its looks and its taste. The combination of moist cakes, mascarpone icing and orange cream is a match made in heaven.
This tall chocolate and orange multi-tiered cake will make a great impression on a couple's big day. The colours can be made to work with any palette; just be sure to go light and dark enough on either end to allow for a gradient of colour on the middle two tiers.
