Weekend food plan: Christmas treats galore
Live MintMaska Bakery, Mumbai If you can’t have enough of gingerbread cookies, make a Christmas wreath with them; turn croissants into bows stuffed with nutmeg-vanilla bean pastry cream, and give achappams a modern spin by dipping them in mint chocolate. It’s a box of decadence with florentines, vanilla kipferl cookies, chocolate chip pecan cookies, buttery shortbread and delish raspberry linzer cookies. There’s a good old fruit Loaf with an eggless option, traditional Plum Cake, choco almond cake, classic Dundee, and season special strawberry almond Cake, among many other delicious baked goodies. The Chocolate Rum Ball brings together chocolate cake, dark chocolate ganache, rum essence, and cherry jam and the Dark Choco Biscoff Gingerbread Man reimagines the traditional cookie with dark chocolate, stuffed with Biscoff praline, and topped with malai peda.
