Christmas tree bread

Overview

Christmas is coming in a blink of an eye. This month, I followed the baking class and made three Christmas-related gourmet creations: Christmas cookies, Christmas cup cakes, and this Christmas tree bread. Personally, I am very satisfied with the work. Whether it has been done before or not, it may feel difficult at first, but as long as you calm down and work hard, you will get satisfactory results.
