Day 12 – Moodie 12 Days of Christmas
The last day of my 12 Days of Christmas – but not least. This pavlova roll is a fantastic note to finish on. It’s light and airy and cloudlike and looks beautiful.

Day 9 – 12 Days of Christmas
We’ve done a lot of big collective dishes in the Moodie 12 Days of Christmas and I thought it would be nice to do something smaller and more individual.
