Seasonal sweet treats

Christmas is literally just around the corner! It is that time of year when the green and red transforms into the shape of Santa Claus and the Christmas tree! As you put on your first winter jumper, you'll hear Jingle Bells play in your iTunes radio. You'll revisit your favourite movie classics like Home Alone and How the Grinch Stole Christmas and in accordance to the Christmas theme, you'll be merry!

The only thing left would be to indulge your Christmas cravings and if you aren't ready with your bag full of goodies, well then you are definitely behind.

If you look hard enough you can find all the classics right here in Dhaka. From classic sugar cookies to cut-outs to gingerbreads to the ever famous chocolate chip, it's all available here! Other possible gifts could be the amazing. Cheesecake from Club Gelato or the weirdly enticing dark fruit cake from Yummy Yummy. If you want to go one step further you can order the X'mas Yule Log Choc cake from King's Confectionery. A traditional dessert served during

Christmas time, the Yule Log contains chocolate Swiss rolls with vanilla butter cream on top. The cake is worked around your very own Christmas decorations including Santa, a snowman, Rudolph the Reindeer and a Christmas tree!

If cakes are not your thing, you can never go wrong with Christmas cupcakes! Orange and Half has a large variety of Christmas cupcakes including the Christmas tree cupcake, the snowman cupcake, Reindeer cupcakes and many more than you can choose from. They even made a gingerbread house with Santa stuck in the chimney for those of you who want a lighter taste.
So go out and get yourself some edible goodies and have a blast this Christmas!
