‘Tis the season for breaking bread, swapping recipes, and indulging in festive flavours.
If you’re new to baking or just on the hunt for fun and tasty treats to whip up over the holidays, you’ve come to the right spot!
We’ve teamed up once again with Tianna Tastebuds, a talented creator carving out her space by sharing easy and delicious recipes for her followers. Before we dive into the delicious details, Tianna shared some valuable advice for anyone who is new to baking: “Baking is all about trial and error,” she notes. “Once you find a recipe that works for you, stick to it because it’ll become your all-time favourite.” Trust us, after trying the Pull-Apart treats she has prepared, they’re destined for the top of your recipe list!
Now, let’s unveil the magic of Tianna’s recipes.
She’s whipped up two versions of a Pull-Apart pastry, both styled and served in the shape of a Christmas tree to bring in those holiday vibes. When it comes to festive flavours, Tianna leans toward cozy classics like cinnamon, mocha, and vanilla. However, instead of sticking with traditional vanilla, she added some beautiful depth to her Sweet Tree by opting to use our Vanilla Bourbon flavour. For her Savoury Tree, she utilizes the flavours from our Savory Starter Kit, effortlessly crafting a well-balanced spicy garlic and onion profile in minutes – no peeling, chopping, or frying required.
Whether you’re craving something sweet or savory, these recipes are a must-try. And rest assured, these festive creations can be effortlessly made by anyone, regardless of experience. So, let the baking begin!
