Here is an inspiration board which is sure to put you in a festive mood in the run up to Christmas. A Gingerbread House Decorating Party is fun for all ages and is a great way to start the festive season. It is best to keep the numbers small so that all the guests have room to sit at the table with their own work station. To keep things simple and baking to a minimum give each guest a pre-assembled graham cracker house or pre-baked gingerbread house cookies and gingerbread men to decorate. Supply each guest with an filled icing bag and decorate the table with a selection of sweets and sprinkles in little bowls.

Kids (and maybe some adults too!) will have fun writing a Christmas wish list on this free printable design by Paperspice. It will also be a good opportunity for kids to practice their handwriting. If they change their mind, then simply print the sheet again and let them write a new list. You can download the free printable PDF file by clicking on the link below. The file has two 5×7 lists per sheet. Just print the file on US letter or A4 bright white paper and then trim the lists to size using the printed guidelines. Have fun with this free printable, but please remember that the file is for personal (non-commercial) use only.

Ombre is a big design trend right now in everything from fashion to baking. (Ombre is a French word meaning “shade” and the trend consists of designs that include graduated layers of colour from light to dark or from one colour to another.) Ombre layer cakes are a simple interpretation of the trend using different shades of the same colour in each of the cake layers. Despite the simplicity of the idea, the effect is stunningly pretty and it is no wonder that ombre layer cakes are everywhere at the minute. As you can see by looking at a selection of my favorite examples below, this style of cake is perfect for so many different types of celebration including birthday parties, baby showers, bridal showers, engagement or anniversary parties.
