'Tis the season to stuff your face (that's how that saying goes, right?) and there's a new cake trend in town that has us mesmerised.

Mirrored mousse cakes have been taking over the internet, and it's not hard to see why. The light mousse sponge is topped with a spellbindingly shiny glaze that looks almost too good to eat.

Almost, but not quite, as these cakes are rumoured to be as delicious as they are pretty.

They're a great alternative to heavy Christmas pud, dry xmas fruit cakes and super rich yule logs.

MM Cake recipes are not for the amateur baker, so you might have to get your order in, or console yourself with the hypnotic photos and videos flooding Instagram. Try not to drool on your phone...

For the super chic, match to your mirrored nails for a trend-led Christmas.
