CHOCOLATE CHERRY BABKA
"Babka has always fascinated me as it’s just so beautiful to look at – just look at the swirls and patterns in the bake! It’s deceptively easy to make, and always has absolutely winning results. This one is Black Forest-inspired with the chocolate filling and cherries, but you can easily chop and change it. It’s 100 per cent worth the proving time – so much so that you’ll want to experiment and make it over and over again!"
HAUNTED YULE LOG
“Turn this Scandinavian classic holiday bake into a dark fairy tale. Although a yule log is based on a rolled chocolate sponge, I’m stacking this one. And since I’m breaking the rules, I’m also adding peanut butter to the sponge and the frosting. Of course, feel free to use your favourite chocolate cake recipe for this idea – I’m just a rebel at heart and I think this cake is pretty damn tasty.”

DOUGHNUT BITES
"Doughnut bites (or doughnut holes) are usually something that gets ignored, especially if you have a freshly made, delicious, sweet doughnut staring straight at you. However these are designed to be doughnut bites. These sweet mini doughnuts, coated in sugar, are the best and because they use a slightly different dough (no bread flour, yeast or proving time), they are quick to make and even quicker to eat!"
