What’s it about? From beautifully decorated Christmas biscuits to spectacular festive centrepieces, An Iced Christmas brings the creativity and charm of Biscuiteers’ bakes into your kitchen. Written by Harriet Hastings, co-founder of the much-loved London biscuit company, this festive baking guide is packed with ideas for homemade gifts, Christmas treats and impressive bakes to share with family and friends.

You’ll find plenty of inspiration for getting creative with icing, from gingerbread houses and Nutcracker tree decorations to Jolly Gingers dressed in Christmas jumpers. There are edible gifts for loved ones (including four-legged family members), smaller baking projects to enjoy with children throughout Advent, and more ambitious creations such as a 3D sleigh and a delicate snowflake biscuit chandelier.

And there’s much more than biscuits to discover. With recipes ranging from spiced muffins and a traditional yule log to a Spiced Pavlova Cake, Carousel cake and Baked Alaska, there’s something for every festive occasion. Biscuiteers’ tried-and-tested recipes come with step-by-step instructions, while handy QR codes link to expert icing tutorials to help you master the decorating techniques and achieve beautiful results at home.
