Definitely a 5 Star rating!

I highly recommend this local magazine!

I have had two adverts so far and am impressed by the whole service!

My phone has been busy, bringing me countless potential new customers!

My advert looks very professional and is the right image for my business. It gives my new customers’ confidence in the quality of work we produce at Trust.

I was also pleased that my ad initiated calls from a couple of past customers!

CHILD'S PL A Y Christmas baking for family members and friends is a great gift, full or personality and love!

It gets the kids involved, giving a sense of excitement and anticipation. Most kids love giving pressies and a great life lesson too that giving can be just as fun as receiving!

You will need: • Large marshmallows • Mini marshmallows • Icing sugar • Writing icing • A selection of sweets to decorate (strawberry laces, tic-tacs, liquorice allsorts, chocolate drops, smarties)

Snowman Marshmallows Method 1. Use wooden skewers to create the snowmen’s bodies, take two to three and thread them on to the stick make sure the one you use as a head goes on sideways so the flat edge makes the face.

2. Find a tray or something that you can stand the sticks in while you work on them - and for presentation!

3. Mix some icing sugar with water to act as glue and attach the mini marshmallows as arms.

4. If you're pushed for time you could just use writing icing to decorate the snowmen, but sweets will make them look really cool - and tastier. Orange tic-tacs work really well as noses, strawberry laces as scarves, smarties as buttons and liquorice allsorts as hats!

Christmas Baking

Christmas Tree Brownies You will need: • 3/4 cup butter (melted) • 1 1/4 cups sugar • 2 tsp vanilla extract • 3 eggs • 3/4 cup self-raising flour • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (sifted) • 1 tub Betty Crocker vanilla icing • M&Ms

Method 1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a round cake tin with baking paper and set aside.

2 In a bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together and light and fluffy.

3 Beat in the flour, melted butter, cocoa and vanilla until well combined.

4 Pour into cake tin and bake for 25-30 minutes.

5 Leave to cool and slice into 8 wedges.

6 Place the vanilla icing in a ziplock bag and snip the corner off. Pipe the icing onto the wedges to cover the whole brownie.

7 Place a rice cracker into the bottom to create a tree stump.

8 Decorate with various decorations to your liking.

You will need:

Method

Mini Santa Cheesecakes

• 12 mini Oreo biscuits • 250 g cream cheese • 1/2 cup caster sugar • 1 tsp vanilla essence • 1 tbs lemon juice • 2 eggs • 24 fresh strawberries • 150 ml cream • 2 tbs icing sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Line a 24 cup mini muffin tin with paper cases.

2. Use an electric beater to beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

3. Add the eggs, one at a time.

4. Break each mini Oreo in half and use a knife to scrape the cream filling away from the lower Oreo. Place one mini Oreo into the base of each mini muffin cup.

5. Divide the cream cheese mixture amongst the muffin cups, pouring it or spooning it over each mini Oreo.

6. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until slightly risen and just beginning to crack on the surface.

7. Cool completely on a wire rack and refrigerate while you make the toppings.

8. Whip the cream and icing sugar together until thick and fluffy. Prepare the strawberries by cutting off their tops (where the stalk is) to create a Santa hat shape out of each one.

9. Put the whipped cream mixture into a piping bag and pipe a generous blob onto each cooled cheesecake.

10. Place a strawberry onto each blob, pushing it down so that the cream oozes out slightly to become the hat's fur trim.

11. Top each Santa hat with a small dab of cream for a pom pom. Dust with icing sugar just before serving.

Father Christmas, assisted by Southam and District Lions, will be visiting Southam and our surrounding villages, starting on Thursday 2nd December. The sleigh starts out on its visits at 5.30pm each evening. This year Santa will only be stopping at 5 or 6 places per day. The schedule below shows which roads he will be stopping in.
