Unwrapping Some Illustrations

The Book

I love The BIG Christmas Bake! It is a fun twist on the 12 Days of Christmas and is perfect to share during the holiday season.

"On the first day of Christmas,

it's time to start to bake.

Let's head into the kitchen

to make a Twelfth Night cake."

"The list of what we need is long!

Where shall we find it all?

A partridge brings dried fruit and says

he'll give some friends a call."

Let the cake-bake begin! Two doves bring flour, three ballooning hens baking powder, penguins bring sweet sugar, rabbits deliver candied peel, geese lay six tasty eggs, and graceful swans contribute vanilla, nutmeg and cloves just to name a few participants and their contributions.

After a dramatic drumroll the masterpiece is unveiled. It took twelve days to complete and the team is eager to taste the fruit of their labour.

This book is busy, festive, and joyful. The illustrations are vibrant, exquisitely detailed and pays homage to the wonderful Christmas season. The author includes the history of the Twelfth Night Cake, a Christmas Cupcake Recipe (complete with instructions), and The Original Twelve Days of Christmas Song at the end of book. This is an awesome book to add to your child's Christmas book collection and also to give as a Christmas gift. I highly, highly recommend it.
