  Gingerbread Cupcakes
  My favourite thing to bake for Christmas is Gingerbread. Gingerbread to me is Christmas. So to mix it up a little, I have made Mini Gingerbread Cupcakes topped with a gingerbread star of course!

  Strawberry Daiquiri Tart
  This Strawberry Daiquiri Tart is basically a holiday in dessert form. Inspired by the classic cocktail, it starts with a buttery, golden Butternut Snap base, then gets filled with the creamiest strawberry filling, spiked with just enough rum and fresh lime juice to give it that signature daiquiri zing. The final touch? A light sprinkle of mint sugar that makes every bite feel fresh, bright, and a little bit fancy. It’s sweet, tangy, and perfectly balanced. Like sipping a strawberry daiquiri, but with a fork instead. Whether you’re serving it up at a dinner party, celebrating something special, or just leaning into your dessert-for-fun era, this tart is guaranteed to steal the show. NOTE: Skip the rum if this tart is for the little ones.
