I joined in the making of edible Christmas trees fun and made Christmas trees out of shortbread stars. The ones that were straight looked OK, but there were far more that looked slightly lopsided (and yes, I did study engineering!) My two tips for decorating are: use a spacer biscuit between the larger ones (this means you have to make a lot of little biscuits) and secondly, decorate with caucaus THEN stack.
I also made about four panfortes (not all at once) which is a (marginally) healthier Christmas baking option (no butter and only uses a little honey and flour to glue the spice, cocoa dried fruit and nuts together.) Fortunately with cellophane and fancy ribbon you can make any present look good!

And these gastronomic delights were too much for me -- you are very clever. Katherine, would you mind posting the recipes for both?
Ok Cath - maybe by next week I'll have them up!
