The Big Christmas Bake is a funny, lively romp through the twelve days of Christmas, taking the elements of the popular carol, and weaving them cleverly into the ingredients for a Twelfth Night Cake.
Starting with the partridge and its gift of dried fruit, this rhyming story includes all of the familiar characters from the song as they all contribute to the baking of the magnificent Twelfth Night cake.
- A trio of french hens bring baking powder
- Six geese bring eggs, and lots of feathers too
- Ten lords help carry the cake into the oven ready to bake
At the end of the story, there is a
recipe included to bake your own cake at home, giving this book the potential to be
a favourite Christmas story as well as a resource to be used every year in
introducing a twelfth night cake tradition to a family.
Characterfully illustrated by Pippa Curnick The Big Christmas Bake is a beautiful, lyrical, and gently humourous Christmas story for the whole family to enjoy.
