I love to bake for friends, and birthdays are a great excuse to plug in the mixer. Sometimes, you have the perfect recipe, but it just needs a little “something” to make it look like you made an effort.

“Nigella” has a great recipe for these biscuits in How to be a Domestic Goddess (or try this version), they’re easy to make, taste amazing, but don’t really look that great as a gift.

Not to worry, a bowl of vanilla butter cream…

…a bar of white chocolate and here you have it, the ultimate girly birthday gift – loaded with calories, but made for sharing.
