Sweet Christmas Classics
As the calendar edges closer to December, there’s a certain kind of magic that begins to creep back into our days, not loud or rushed, but soft, warm, and familiar. It shows up in cosy moments: the first hint of cinnamon in the kitchen, the sound of ribbons being unspooled, and the gentle feeling that home is about to come alive again.
For us, Christmas begins long before the tree goes up. It starts in the kitchen — with heritage recipes pulled from handwritten cards, spices toasted just so, and fruit soaked the old-fashioned way. It’s in these quiet rituals that the spirit of the season first comes alive.
Why “Sweet Christmas Classics”?
Warm, traditional, and joyfully nostalgic, a return to the comforting flavours and moments that make Christmas feel like Christmas. For Laura it’s the aroma of sweetly spiced Gingerbread and fruit cake that fill the kitchen and trigger all the wonderful memories. Flavours that tell a story before you’ve even taken a bite.

This year’s Christmas collection is inspired by everything we grew up loving — and can’t wait to pass on. Some of the highlights include:
- Bauble Cookies - Decorative baubles filled with mini star and tree cookies, topped with fondant and sprinkles, perfect for hanging on your tree and gifting.
- Christmas Bauble Cake - A textured buttercream cake with gold-lustre painted edges, glittery baubles and an acrylic “Merry Christmas” topper.
- Christmas Popsicles (Cakesicles) - Delicious chocolate mud cake pops in the shape of popsicles; a fun place setting or little treat for guests.
- Christmas Cookie Jars – Vanilla cookies embossed with “Merry Christmas” in red, green & white.
- Christmas Treat Box – A curated gift box featuring vanilla cookies, cakesicles, signature rocky road and cake pops all in one festive package.
In a world that moves fast, these festive treats invite you to slow down to remember that the very best moments are rarely the biggest ones. And with every cake, cookie jar, cakesicle or treat box this season, we want to bring you not just desserts or sweet gifts but atmospheres, memories, and a sense of homecoming.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be unveiling the full Christmas range a collection shaped by tradition, delivered with modern charm, and made the way Christmas should feel: thoughtful, heartfelt, and beautifully wholesome.
Until then, consider this your gentle invitation to start leaning into the season not with urgency, but with anticipation.
Because the sweetest Christmas memories start in the lead-up, with a single warm aroma drifting from the kitchen.
