Festive desserts and aperitif ideas
A holiday meal often starts with an elegant aperitif. The Salmon-prawn terrine and the Morel Terrine are popular starters, while the Fir-bread with garlic makes an eye-catching centrepiece for sharing. For a refined savoury bite, try our Foie gras macarons. For dessert, the Vanilla-Pecan-Caramel Entremet impresses with its delicate layers, and the Christmas Tree Cake or the Christmas Number Cake will wow your guests. Children will love Rudolph, the Rudolph Cupcakes and the Snowman Muffins.
Little treats for Advent
A sweet bite with coffee is part of the Christmas spirit. Our Praline Macarons and Blackcurrant-Chestnut Macarons are small indulgences that are hard to resist. Traditional specialities are of course part of the collection:
- Basler Läckerli, Ginger Donuts (Lebkuchen) and Magenbrot
- Christmas cookies and our guide to decorating christmas cookies
- Nougat with honey, almonds and pistachios
- Grittibänz and a Quick Panettone
For an afternoon snack, bake the Orange Gingerbread Cake, Christmas Donuts, Peanut-chocolate igloos or Chocolate Speculoos Fondants. And if you need something wholesome for on the go, try the Fir Tree Muesli Bars.
Our tip: many cookies and confections can be made in advance. Stored in an airtight tin, they stay fresh for several days, leaving you more time for your guests during the holidays.
