It's a Jelly Season!

It's a Jelly Season!






Last weekend I attended the first Christmas party for the season. It was a cocktail party which was also a belated (by 3 years!) house warming for my friend's apartment, let's call her Miss Goldi Locks. The apartment was already beautifully decorated so it didn't really need any extra Christmas decorations. I was too busy eating and drinking so I didn't take too many photos of the night, my bad.

Don't you just love fairy lights

Goldi Locks is famous for her salad, every time we have a gathering we always get her to make salad. One of my favourite is her beetroot salad. I'm not normally a fan of beetroot but she makes them taste sweet and juicy.

Who says you don't make friends with salad!

The cocktails were fruity and refreshing, perfect for a hot summer night. The mango and lychee cocktails were addictive.

I made candy cane macarons which I served in Santa's belly cookie jar, strawberry cupcakes, chili chocolate truffles (which wasn't chili at all for one of our friend's sake - he can't handle the heat! you know who you are!), and a surprise dessert - rainbow jelly in a jar. The jelly was just what everyone needed, something cold and sweet.

Thank you Goldi Locks for hosting the party, we all had so much fun and next year it's my turn to host!

So tell me people, how will you be celebrating Christmas this year?
