1) Pretty Party Cake Pops
These cute mini treats are a huge sensation thanks to their irresistibility. Up the ante by using a fabulous homebaked chocolate cake and complementary chocolate cream cheese frosting, and you're ready to create your very own bouquet of chic cake pops. (Refer to Bonus Section I for decorating ideas and tipsheets)
2) Chocolate Peppermint Whoopie Pies
A pair of richly chocolatey, tender and cake-like cookies coddle a lush peppermint filling for a holiday spin on a beloved retro treat.
3) Luxury Fruitcake Cupcakes
Packed with an extravagant mix of dried figs, dates, apricots and hazelnuts - no generic pre-mixed dried fruit here! - these gems are every bit as scrumptious to savour as a traditional fruitcake, but much less fussy to put together. (Refer to Bonus Section I for decorating ideas)
4) Eggnog Sandwich Cookies
Buttery nutmeg-perfumed shortbread squares sandwich a plush creamy filling spiked with dark rum and Madagascar Bourbon vanilla bean.

6) Good Old Fashioned Eggnog
One sip of this divine concoction, and you'll never deign to pick up another carton of the pre-made stuff again.
7) Pâte à Tartiner au Chocolat et Noisettes
In short, a handcrafted take on Nutella, also known as everybody's favourite breakfast spread. Be warned that lucky recipients will feel compelled to ask for the recipe, if not a second jar! Enough said.
