Creating the Perfect Holiday Table: Essential Christmas Cakes and Bakes

Christmas is the season of gathering, and no holiday table is complete without a spread of exquisite cakes and bakes to share with loved ones. 

La Levain’s carefully crafted festive treats bring elegance, warmth, and flavour to your holiday celebrations, transforming any gathering into a memorable feast. 

Here’s how to create the perfect holiday dessert table with La Levain’s essential Christmas cakes and bakes, each bringing something unique to the festive mix.

Start with a Show-Stopping Centrepiece: The Maple Apple Logcake with Mascarpone Cheese Icing

Every holiday table needs a centrepiece, and La Levain’s Maple Apple Logcake makes a delightful one. 

This twist on the classic Yule log combines the warmth of spiced apple with a touch of maple, finished with a mascarpone cheese icing that’s creamy and slightly tangy. 

Its festive flavours and eye-catching design make it a natural centrepiece, inviting guests to gather and indulge in this uniquely seasonal dessert.

Infuse Italian Flair with Panettone and Chocottone

For a touch of Italian tradition, La Levain’s Panettone and Chocottone are must-haves on your holiday table.

The Panettone, made with imported flour, candied orange, lemon, and sultanas, embodies Italian baking artistry. 

Light, airy, and delicately sweet, this classic bread is perfect for sharing at breakfast or as an after-dinner treat.

For chocolate lovers, the Chocottone adds a modern twist with chocolate chips that melt into each bite, creating a harmonious balance between the soft texture of the bread and the richness of chocolate.

These festive breads add a taste of Italy and bring elegance and sophistication to your holiday table.

Add Festive Charm with Mince Pies

Mince pies are a beloved Christmas classic, and La Levain’s Mince Pies make the perfect addition to any holiday spread. 

Each pie is filled with a rich mixture of dried fruits and spices, baked to golden perfection in a flaky pastry crust. 

The box of five is ideal for sharing, and they pair beautifully with warm drinks, making them an excellent addition to a cosy, festive gathering.

Delight with La Levain’s Signature Cookies

To complement your cakes and breads, include an assortment of La Levain’s signature cookies. 

Their variety of textures, colours, and flavours add depth to the table and are perfect for guests to nibble on between larger bites.

Fleur de Cao 70% with Fleur de Sel Cookies bring a sophisticated touch with dark chocolate richness, lightly balanced by a sprinkle of fleur de sel. 

These cookies are perfect for guests who enjoy an intense, luxurious treat.

Earl Grey Cranberry Cookies blend the subtle notes of Earl Grey tea with tart cranberries, adding a light, fragrant option that pairs beautifully with tea.

Macadamia Orange Butter Cookies are rich, buttery, and vibrant with orange zest—a delightful contrast to the darker flavours and a festive option to lighten up the table.

Unique and Modern: Coffeettone for Coffee Lovers

Another unique addition to your holiday table, Coffeettone combines the fluffy texture of Panettone with a hint of coffee. 

Perfect for coffee enthusiasts, this modern take on the traditional treat adds a slight bitterness and aroma that enhances the overall dessert selection. 

Serve it with an espresso or hot chocolate for a refined, indulgent experience.

Tips for Arranging Your Holiday Dessert Table

Creating the perfect holiday table is about more than just the treats—it’s about the overall presentation. Here are a few styling tips:

Use Cake Stands and Platters: Elevate your centrepiece, like the Maple Apple Logcake, on a cake stand to create height. 

Surround it with your cookies, mince pies, and Panettone for a visually balanced display.

Mix Colours and Textures: Place the darker chocolate and coffee treats next to the lighter, brighter options like the Macadamia Orange Butter Cookies to create contrast. 

This makes the display look inviting and dynamic.

Add Seasonal Touches: Sprigs of holly, pine cones, or a scattering of cranberries bring festive cheer and fill empty spaces without distracting from the treats.

Complete the Experience with a Warm Drink Station

For a truly festive atmosphere, set up a warm drink station alongside your dessert table. 

Offering options like hot chocolate, spiced cider, or mulled wine complements the seasonal bakes and allows guests to pair their favourite treats with a cosy drink
