Real Edible Gold 24 Carat – Leaf Sheets
Christmas Gifts for Bakers – Ideas from 125 CZK
For a Friend, Under 300 CZK
A little something that won't end up forgotten in a drawer. My pick: Sugarflair edible gold leaf flakes for 193 CZK. Just a few flakes turn an ordinary dessert into something truly festive. For gingerbread and pralines, sparkly red lustre dust works beautifully. And if your friend loves playful decorating, reach for the Sugar Lips sprinkles or the black-and-gold cupcake cases for Christmas cupcakes. Want to make her even happier? Put together the edible gold, sparkly dust and cupcake cases. The whole gold set comes to 567 CZK, and you'll get the Linzer cookie e-book for free on top.
For a Sister Who Loves Decorating, Under 500 CZK
A sister who dreams up something new for every cake will appreciate things she can play with. My pick: the PME Vintage set of six piping tips with Rosie Rose rosebud sprinkles, together for 477 CZK. Add the pinkish gold and the whole set comes to 616 CZK, with the Linzer cookie e-book thrown in free with your gift. Sweet Kisses sprinkles are lovely on cakes and cupcakes, and they'll come in handy for Valentine's Day too.
For a Mum Who Bakes Every Sunday, Under 1,000 CZK
Mum already has everything for baking? Then give her something she wouldn't buy for herself. My pick: Tahitian vanilla pods for 645 CZK. They smell floral and sweet – you'll never mistake them for ordinary vanilla. If she likes trying new things, she'll enjoy a praline mould. For everyday baking, a Silikomart perforated mat or an oven thermometer that shows how many degrees your oven really reaches are great choices. I only have a few packs of Tahitian vanilla this year, so don't wait too long.
Not Sure What They Already Have?
Choose something that gets used up: vanilla, edible gold, sparkly dusts or sprinkles. You can't go wrong with these. Even if she already has them at home, she'll definitely use them for Christmas baking.
For a Grandmother Who Bakes for the Whole Family
For years, my grandmother decorated with a single plastic piping bag that she washed and dried after every bake. This year I bought her One Way disposable piping bags. They sit comfortably in the hand, and a hundred of them will last her a long time. She'll also love something for her Christmas baking: real Madagascar vanilla pods for her vánočka and Christmas cookies, or cheerful muffin cases for the treats she bakes for the grandchildren. And if you want to give a really special gift, choose the Nordic Ware Tradice bundt tin in cast aluminium, which shows off the pattern on the cake beautifully. I only have a few of these tins.
Tip: A Tin with Vanilla and Free Shipping
Add Madagascar vanilla pods to the Tradice tin. Together they come to 1,805 CZK, so you get free shipping and Grandma can get baking straight away.
All Your Gifts in One Basket
Buy gifts for your friend, sister and mum all at once. You'll pay postage once instead of three times, and once you pass 1,800 CZK, shipping is completely free. For example, gold dust for your friend, a decorating set for your sister, Tahitian vanilla for your mum and piping bags for your grandmother come to 1,945 CZK together, with free shipping.
