‘Tis the season for dessert fanatics like me to indulge in velvety log cakes, decadent tarts and all sorts of sugary treats at Christmas feasts and parties without feeling guilty. What makes these desserts even more delicious, however, is being able to share them with family and friends in the comfort of home as we bid farewell to 2023.
If you would like to spend an intimate time with your loved ones at home, here’s a list of exquisite Christmas desserts you can order for your parties and gatherings that won’t require you to dress up to the nines or spend hours travelling.
