December is the pre-holiday time when, as well as buying gifts, cooking and scouring our houses, we should spend some time with the family and friends. Christmas decorations and music are a little cheesy for some people, but even if we don't want them to, they make us feel kind of different. Unless we are like the Grinch, but I hope that there aren't many such people among us.

A lot of us in December get touching invitations to the school Christmas party. Sometimes we prepare Christmas goodies to make the difficulties of our little actors a bit sweeter. I have participated in such events and I think that sometimes the treat is the most important part of the Christmas party. Today I would like to share with you the recipe for very showy cake pops in the form of small Christmas trees. They don't need much preparation and I assure you that the children will be delighted.

Ingredients
dough
220g of flour
3 tablespoons of cocoa
150g of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of vinegar
1 teaspoon of spices
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
5 tablespoons of oil
250ml of milk
decoration
dark chocolate
white chocolate
colourful sugar decorations
candy canes

Heat the oven up to 175 degrees C. Cover a baking pan with some baking paper.
Put all the dough ingredients into a bowl and mix until you make a smooth dough. Put it onto the baking pan and even it out. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool the cake down and cut it into triangles. Decorate with the melted chocolate and colourful sugar decorations.

Enjoy your meal!
