Postre chajá was created by the owner of a family restaurant in Uruguay. He called his meringue-based dessert 'chajá' after an indigenous bird of the same name, whose fluffy white neck and head plumage reminded him of the meringue. The ability to spot the resemblance seems to be unique to the cake's creator.
Coconut ice is an ever-popular sweet treat, where you're looking for something quick and easy to bring along to a cake stall, a kids' party, or to add to a dessert bar - these pastel pink sweets always go down a treat.
Gingerbread houses can be notoriously fiddly, which is why we chose to decorate with our favourite store bought treats! This easy gingerbread house is still the real deal, however, so you will need to bake the gingerbread pieces ahead of time and stick them together with icing. It's the perfect marriage of baking and crafting that is guaranteed to impress this Christmas.
