Food is always an important part of any celebration, and even more so at Christmas.

Just imagine the roast turkey at the centre of Christmas dinner, a flaming Christmas pudding, or a plate of baked Christmas treats. These are all the things that come to mind when I think of Christmas.

So I was really thrilled to receive a parcel full of festive goodies from Konditor & Cook recently. Konditor & Cook are a family run cake business for the 21st century and have been sharing their passion for baking since 1993.

Konditor & Cook have six stores across London, a same day cake delivery service and a Cake school. They also sell their delicious range of baked good online, perfect for those of us who don’t live in London.

Read on to find out more about these scrumptious Christmas goodies, and find out how you could win a selection for yourself!

My parcel included a pack of six Mince Pies and a selection box of Konditor & Cook’s best selling Mince Pies.

Konditor & Cook’s Mince Pies are a thing of beauty.

The tender all-butter shortcrust pastry shell is filled to the brim with a sweet, spicy vegetarian mincemeat. These mince pies are regularly voted amongst the best in the UK, and it’s really no surprise. They taste delicious, and look like home made mince-pies but better!

And the selection of Christmas cookies is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea or coffee, or even a glass of mulled wine.

The Lemon cookies and Cinnamon stars are both made with almonds instead of wheat flour. They’re light and crumbly, with delicate flavours. Tiny pieces of candied mixed peel and a thin layer of sugar icing complete these little mouthfuls of festive flavour.

But I think my favourite from the cookie selection is the Vanilla Kipferl. They’re a German biscuit, crescent shaped and dusted with icing sugar. They’re delightfully crisp and the flavour of hazelnuts really shines through.

And if you’re looking for a cake to celebrate the festive season, but don’t like the traditional fruit cake, Konditor & Cook have some great alternatives. How about their Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake, with layers of sticky toffee sponge enveloped in vanilla mascarpone frosting with a gooey caramel drizzle. It’s exactly what you need for a family celebration!

Or you could go for the Chocolate Baileys Cake with layers of delicious chocolate sponge and Baileys buttercream. They also have a vegan Amaretto & Cherry Cake, which is new for this season. It’s made with a vegan chocolate sponge, vegan chocolate and amaretto ganache and layered with delicious ‘cherry amour’ jam.

Konditor & Cook also have a range of gift vouchers available – I know I’d be very happy to open one of those on Christmas morning!

And I have a delicious selection of Konditor & Cook Christmas Goodies for one lucky SallyAkins.com reader to win!

    Mince pies as they hold so many memories of getting them out of those big rose’s or quality street tins after my mum made them when i was younger and they are lovely.

    Oh so much choice…I think Christmas pudding with brandy butter is the winner but cinnamon is one of my favourite flavours so there are an awful lot of Christmas treats that I enjoy.

    Christmas pudding – it was always my nans job and when she passed my mum took over the making of it . Im pregnant this year and it’s the first year in my 39 years where ive not been able to have any.

    We always buy ferrero Rocher at Christmas, not really a Christmas treat though, so I’ll say brandy butter!

    I love mince pies. I’m so glad that it is now the norm for these to be made without suet, as that used to stop me from eating them.
