On today's menu: edible Santa hats! I actually made these last year, they were such a success that I thought I may as well make them again.

Makes 12 little buns
-2 eggs
-4oz butter
-4oz caster sugar
-4oz SR flour
-1tsp vanilla essence
-Double/whipped cream
-Fresh strawberries
The fun part:
-Pre-heat the oven to 150c
-Cream together the butter and sugar
-Mix in the eggs (making sure not to curdle)
-Add the flour and vanilla; mix together until it's light and creamy
-Spoon the cake mix into individual bun cases, and then pop in the oven. Bake for approx. 30-40mins, or until golden brown on top and firm in the middle.
The topping:
-If you're using double cream, you'll need to whip it up until it's firm and peaky.
-Wash your strawberries, and chop in half
-Once the buns are cool you can add a dollop of cream to each bun, pop on a strawberry and finish off with a bit of cream on top. Repeat until they're all done.
As it's fresh cream and fruit, you'll want to store them in the fridge. But of course, you can always eat them quickly before ruining the cream! Would be rude not to!
Enjoy!
