STRAWBERRRY COCONUT & CREAM SANTA HATS AND BAKLAVA SANTA SACKS

gg and I read 'Father christmas'

which is about Father Christmas and how he prepares for Christmas night. On the first page it describes Father Christmas as having a bright red hat and a big brown sack. It was from the first sentence that I knew I wanted this book, because it meant I could relate the story to making some of Lorie's strawberry cheesecake santa hats (I told you previously that I had all the activities planned out, one of the few times I've been organised and it has payed off I may do it more often lol) you have to check them out they are so cute.
Now I couldn't find any vanilla wafers like Lorie did so I chose to have coconut biscuits as my base and I couldn't be bothered to make a cream cheese filling so I used whipped cream and made my own version of the strawberry and coconut cream Santa hats.

GREEK GHANA MIX STRAWBERRY COCONUT & CREAM SANTA HATS

You will need:

• Strawberries washed and stems cut off
• Round coconut biscuits
• Whipped cream (from spray can)

How to:

• Spray around edges of coconut biscuit with cream
• Place strawberry in the middle
• Add some more cream at the top of the strawberry for the bobble of the hat

Simple isn't it? Plus the kids will have fun creating them.

So you must be wondering about the brown Santa hats. Well I got this idea whilst making baklava, gg wanted to help and so I cut her up some filo pastry into squares and she added some nuts in the middle and scrunched it up into a ball. What a fantastic idea. I got her to repeat the steps again but before she could scrunch it up I made it into a parcel/sack and voila a brown Santa sack.
