Michelle Darmody: Plan ahead to stir-up some Christmas bakes

Last Sunday was Stir-up-Sunday. It is traditionally the day to get your Christmas baking in order. It can make for a long day of measuring, weighing, and stirring, getting the cake started, the pudding on, and the mince jarred.

But, not everyone makes their own traditional Christmas desserts anymore and realistically, not everyone who does got started last week. Not to worry, there is plenty of time.
