A Cake for a Queen
Mince Pies
The Dundee Cake is a Scottish fruit cake packed with currants, sultanas and almonds. It is said to have been made for Mary Queen of Scots.
These British sweet pies made of meat, fruits and spices trace their origin to recipes brought back from the Middle East by Crusaders in the 13th century.
Hansel and Gretel’s Favorite
Christmas Hamper
Did you know that an Armenian monk, Gregory of Nicopolis, taught French priests and Christians how to make gingerbread from flour, ginger, honey and molasses in 992? However, the harder German-style gingerbread is best for this Hansel and Gretel-type house.
Surprise family, business associates, and friends with a stylish hamper-cum-valise filled with all things good to eat. Definitely a winning gift! Santa’s Favorites Season’s Treats Basket of Joy
Php7,500++ Php4,500++ Php2,900++
