Sights of the Holidays...

Top to bottom: a slice of the classic panettone for breakfast; candied oranges and lemons at the actor's place; mini gateau basque at the actor's (with Pernod...); Christmas cookies; Pandoro con crema di mascarpone (I made it from Angela's instructions over the phone for Christmas Eve).

To make the Christmas- tree shaped panodoro, do the following:
1. Make a recipe of the tiramisu cream
2. Slice a good quality pandoro cake into 3- 6 layers
3. Wet each cake layer with rum or a liqueur of your choice, spread some of the cream on and repeat until all layers are finished
4. Drizzle the top with some good- quality melted, bittersweet chocolate or alternately, dust the finished cake with icing sugar and adorn with some berries or other fruit
5. Have fun slicing it!
