Christmas food creations

After the #playingwithmyfood series from the early phase of COVID-19 lockdown a few people asked for more vegetable creations. So here they are. For Christmas.

On the 1st day of Christmas…

If I was going to do a set of food creations for Christmas I’d have to start with a Pear tree (there isn’t a partridge in it).

On the 2nd day of Christmas…

I give you Grinch heads made from fruit (and white chocolate buttons) on cocktail sticks. It should have been mini marsh mallows but I couldn’t find them.

This one wasn’t my idea, so “Thank you” you know who you are ☺️.

On the 3rd day of Christmas…

The third day, and the second vegetable Christmas tree — made of butternut squash.

It definitely needs an angel for the top I think. If only I could find one … 🤔

On the 4th day of Christmas…

Yesterday we were missing an angel on the tree but for the 4th day of Christmas here’s a whole choir of angels. In fact, angel cake angels in angel delight. How angelic is that.

These were so much fun to make (and eat)

On the 5th day of Christmas…

A simple one today — on the fifth day of Christmas — five gold onion rings 🎶

On the 6th day of Christmas…

After the simplicity of gold rings, the ridiculous and fiddly snowflake pizza.

Yes it was a frozen pizza, and yes I defrosted it before manually cutting it into a snowflake. As you can see from the “making of” montage.

“Let it snow” — cheese and tomato style

On the 7th day of Christmas…

It’s another Christmas tree.

You might think “he’s done a tree already” or “it’s not green”. But this one also has peas on earth. All around the bottom of it.

On the 8th day of Christmas…

I did a snowman for the first food series, but nowhere near as big as this wintery root vegetable creation for the 8th day of Christmas food fun… This one is much more a-peeling.

On the 9th day of Christmas…

It’s a Christmas tree, or should that be Christmas Brie? It’s a nice tasty one though. And it’s got pea baubles — which are cool.

On the 10th day of Christmas…

Here is the star of Christmas… made from cheese. Not in the east, but on toast. I made two, they were yummy.

On the 11th day of Christmas…

After yesterday’s Christmas cheese star I wondered what could be next. It had to be three kings, they always follow the star at Christmas.

They are bearing gifts and also have mini Christmas cracker party crowns and seasonal googly eyes.

On the 12th (last 😞) day of Christmas…

To finish this series off I made a manger out of a pineapple. It’s on pineapple legs so it’s quite stable.

And as it’s Christmas Day, if you look inside the manger, of course you can see the baby cheeses.

Happy Christmas everyone (at least I made myself laugh) 😂
