2014节礼日快乐！ （Happy Boxing Day 2014)

节礼日(Boxing Day）是英国与大多英联邦国家在12月26日（圣诞节翌日）庆祝的公众假期。
欲知更多有关节礼日的详情，请参阅这里。

基本上，雇员们必须在圣诞日当天为雇主服务而无法和家人庆圣诞。第二天，雇主就把剩余的食物装箱，让雇员带回家和家人共享。从此，食物装箱的传统即成“节礼日”。

安迪既没有雇员，也不会奢侈周章，所以没有资格过节礼日。
但是就随大队，沾沾过节的喜悦也不是坏事。
就如有人不是基督徒，也喜欢庆圣诞般。

倒是想乘还有一点的圣诞余温，分享一些喜悦。。。。。。。。。。

薄荷巧克力杯子蛋糕 (Mint Chocolate Cupcakes)

 喜悦满满的圣诞月，第三度和大家共赴Fion的小蛋糕之约。

今天的主题是“充满圣诞气息”的杯子蛋糕。

希望你们会喜欢这个喜悦满满的小蛋糕。

During this merry festival, I joined Fion's event for a third time. This time, the theme for the event is "Christmassy cupcake", so I hope all of you will be touched by the festive mood this cupcake brings along!

班兰椰香汤圆(Pandan Tangyuan with Coconut Milk)

 明天是12月22日，也是全球华人吃汤圆的大日子。

吃汤圆，既是冬至； 也意味着春天不远了。

 Tomorrow is the 22nd of December; the day Chinese all over the world get to enjoy tangyuan, and it's also when they know spring isn't far around the corner!

潘多洛(Pandoro)

 潘多洛源自意大利北部的维诺那。

它和潘妮托尼同样是意大利知名的圣诞节面包。
Pandoro originated from Verona, Northern Italy. Together with the Panettone, the Pandoro is an famous Italian Christmas bread.

圣诞酒香杂果蛋糕 (Traditional Christmas Cake)

圣诞的脚步越来越近，献上这富有浓浓圣诞气息的传统蛋糕。

把安家的喜悦，散发于大家，

预祝各位有个美好快乐的圣诞节。

With Christmas just around the corner, I felt like sharing this very Christmassy cake for everyone to share in this festive joy. Wishing everyone an early Merry Christmas!

叶形烤饼(Fougasse)

 叶形烤饼(Fougasse)，

曾经是法国南部普罗旺斯圣诞节的传统点心之一。

The Fougasse was a traditional Christmas food from Provence, a geographical region and historical province of southeastern France.

红萝卜芝士杯子蛋糕 (Carrot Cheese Cupcakes)

 又是赴约的一天。

今天是赴“乳酪杯子蛋糕”之约。

相信今天的部落格界，又是一片乳酪杯子蛋糕潮了。

Once again, another promise to keep. Today's promise is the "cheese cupcake" date that probably saw an avalanche of cheese cupcakes happening in the blogsphere!

水果圣诞树 (Fruit Christmas Tree)

 今天与大家分享这颗非常应景的蔬果圣诞树，

让大家感染一下日愈渐浓的圣诞气息 。
Today, I'll be sharing this very Christmassy dish with all of you -- a fruity Christmas tree! Let's all bask in the Christmas mood!

柠檬费南雪(Lemon Friands)

 第一次在Ann家看到这可爱又独特的费南雪时，

就快快把它储进“待做名单”。

今天托圣诞月的“木”，还有你的福，传来这可爱的模子，

我，没有理由不开炉咯！呵。。。。。呵。。。。。

 When I first saw these cute and unique friands at Ann's, I immediately included them into my to-do list. With the Christmas mood in full swing, and my friend coincidentally passing me a friands mould, who am I to resist the calling to bake these adorable treats?

樱桃乳酪蛋糕(Cherry Cheesecake)

某天在研做“黑森林蛋糕”时，又一次意外开错罐头，

向来惜福，岂能让它变质而造成浪费？

快快变出这好好吃的樱桃乳酪蛋糕。
While trying to make a Black Forest Cake the other day, I accidentally opened the wrong can again. Of course I can't waste the cherries inside, right? So I had a change of plans an made this Cherry Cheesecake instead!

长崎蛋糕(Japanese Castella (Kasutera カステラ) Cake )

 看到很多姐妹成功分享这充满浓浓和风味的长崎蛋糕。

心理既羡慕又蠢蠢欲动，

但家里没有木模子，也担心无法驾驭这有一定难度的蛋糕，

所以论“欲试名单”，它其实是排在面包和马卡龙的后面的。
After seeing so many fellow bloggers share this Japanese Castella Cake successfully, I really wanted to join in the fun too. However, I didn't have the mould, and I wasn't too sure that I could manage to bake it, so it is actually after bread and macaroons on my to-do list.

抹茶红豆北海道牛奶杯子蛋糕(Matcha Hokkaido Milk Cupcakes)

12月3日，今天我们大家又赴约了。

说的就是轩宏妈妈家的北海道杯子蛋糕之约耶！
It's the 3rd of December, and I have another promise to keep. What promise? XuanHom mama's "Hokkaido Cupcake date", that's what!

那天做了抹茶面包，很喜欢他的香气。

于是灵机一线，来个北海道抹茶红豆杯子蛋糕。
I really like the aroma of the Matcha Bread I baked the other day, so I decided to use the same flavor and baked this Hokkaido Matcha Cupcake.

玻璃曲奇(Stained Glass Cookies)

 当第一次看到这喜气洋洋的玻璃曲奇时，

就决定要在充满圣诞气息浓厚的十二月，让它出现在我家 。
When I first saw these beautiful cookies, I made up my mind to bake them as Christmas cookies.
