The Big Christmas Bake
is a funny, lively romp through the twelve days of Christmas, taking the elements of the popular carol, and weaving them cleverly into the ingredients for a Twelfth Night Cake.
Starting with the partridge and its gift of dried fruit, this rhyming story
includes all of the familiar characters
from the song as they all contribute to the baking of the magnificent Twelfth Night cake.
A trio of french hens bring baking powder
Six geese bring eggs, and lots of feathers too
Ten lords help carry the cake into the oven ready to bake
At the end of the story, there is a
recipe included
to bake your own cake at home, giving this book the potential to be
a favorite Christmas story
as well as a resource to be used every year in
introducing a twelfth-night cake tradition to a family
.
Characterfully illustrated by Pippa Curnick
is a beautiful, lyrical, and gently humourous Christmas story for the whole family to enjoy.
