Sharing one more for 2022!
When I started Jo Baked, I wanted to sell that were not only fun to put together but tasted good too, as I had not seen any options in Abu Dhabi stores at that time and IKEA had sold out of theirs a few weeks before Christmas.
Fast forward 7 years later, both commercial and homemade kits are available everywhere and cheaper than what we are able to sell ours for.
We cannot tell you how special it makes us feel when our are ordered year after year and we’re told that “they so look forward to THIS gingerbread house”!🥰
Thank you for ordering from us and for making our a family tradition in your home 🙏

🎵Oh what fun it is to…
to see how our turn out🎵
The 4th instalment of Rowena and Andreas’ and what a fantastic job!!😍
Andreas’ piping skills never fail to amaze us and the level of detail on the gingerbread peeps keeps getting better! And so clever cutting out the windows to let the light shine through 👏👏👏
Scroll through to see the previous years pics - which one is your favourite?
We agree with Rowena that the mankini is our favourite 😜
Thanks so much for sharing your pics with us and for making our an annual festive tradition 🙏💕

Another year another hilarious gingerbread house, well peeps!
Andreas has outdone himself this year giving me lipstick and nail varnish. 😂
Swipe to see see previous years - my favorite is still the mankini! 😂
Thank you for the wonderful gingerbread house kit and keeping our tradition going.

Merry Christmas from Jo, Mr Baked, Sam (by Knitox) and The Chef Camel (by the Camel Lady Darcy Harris)🎄♥️
(ceramic camel decoration by Jo Fletcher Mosaic Artist)
We hope you’ve enjoyed Sam and The Chef Camel’s “ARTE Advent Calendar” posts highlighting a variety of talented creatives and artisans we’ve met over the 7 years we’ve been at ARTE, The Makers Market.
It’s unusual for me to post daily but with so many amazing makers and designers, it was easy to share their products and stories with you.
The hardest part was not being able to show everyone’s fabulous work!
You will have seen that many have “spread their wings” and left the ARTE “nest” selling their products through multiple channels and expanding their product range - we believe this is what ARTE’s success stories are all about: a platform that allows testing of potential business ideas and getting them off the ground into fully fledged businesses.
If you have an idea, give the market a try as it’s a great way to see if people will buy your products and find out what sells and what doesn’t.
Of course, the wonderful family of vendors you will find at ARTE makes it all the more special.
Head to ARTE’s website www.arte.ae to find out how to become a vendor.

My Africa ❤️
Gaelin hand crafts edgy sterling silver statement pieces.
Her jewellery, like the popular safety pin cuff, is unique and unusual, just like the maker 😊
This “I love SA” charm necklace has my heart as it's a reminder of South Africa, home country to both Gaelin and myself.

It often happens that we know the vendor by the products they sell but not their names 🫣
For the longest time, I knew Safaa as the “Jam Lady” at and her sweet chilli jam is my favourite, with raspberry jam coming a close second!
You may have noticed a trend that we like using other products in our bakes - this and is another example of this!
Safaa went on to open a few years ago so do stop by for a , light meal or dessert and grab some of her jams and spreads to go.

Jessica Lily kimonos are cool and lightweight, great for pairing with a dress or shorts and for covering up bare shoulders from sunburn if you like wearing strappy or sleeveless tops (I do 🙌).
The kimono prints like this "Hand of Fatima" and her popular "Skulls” are designed by Jessica.
Although not “in vogue”, Jessica's silk masks were very comfortable especially when we were double-masking (yes, we were one of those who wore 2 masks at one stage 😆).
Jessica's kimonos, dresses and pyjamas can be found at ARTE, The Makers Market in and , The Makers Guild or on her website https://byjessicalily.com/

Emm Daniel all started with Corinne's homemade garlic paste.
Made with just 4 ingredient (garlic, salt, lemon juice and oil), this garlic paste is light, smooth and creamy and my preferred way of eating it is simply spreading it on sourdough bread like butter!
We also like using Emm Daniel's in our bakes like this garlic Christmas Tree-shaped bread - yum!
Corinne's product range includes dips, spreads, snacks and drinks using wholesome ingredients that are , and .
Did you know that Emm Daniel is named after Corinne's son and means "Mother of Daniel"?

If you’re like me and a bothersome spot appears out the blue (yes, I still get breakout pimples after all these years!), the first thing I grab is Pavanito acne control serum and a couple of days later - voila, sorted!
Pavanito's products use natural ingredients in minimalistic recipes developed by biochemist Pavan.
He is happy to share helpful skincare tips like using a humectant after washing your face (try his saffron-infused aloe vera gel for this) followed by a moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated.

Keto by Foxxy arrived at a time when options were limited for great tasting and Emiliya's and filled that gap in the market.
I remember customers queueing at her table on market days and she would sell out before the end of the day!
Less than a year after Emiliya ran her first table at , Keto by Foxxy partnered with Foodie Brands making her available all over the UAE at any time. Emiliya then expanded her range to include The KETO Fix and meal plans - an entrepreneur success story! 👏👏👏

For natural, eco-friendly handmade candles with delightful yet subtle fragrances using essential oils, head over to Palm Lights by Bhawna.
The beautiful crystal-like, snowflake patterns from the palm wax along with unique containers (like the mouth-blown, hand-cut glass vessels from the Ruby Candle collection or the latest Bauble candle) make for elegant gifts and decorations.
We've become more conscious about things ending up in landfill (especially since our recent move) and it's great that Bhawna uses sustainable packaging that's either plantable or recyclable and reusable containers with a candle refill service.
For candles, incense and wax melts, find Bhawna at markets around the UAE or visit her website https://palmlights.ae/

On market days, there is seldom enough time to browse every vendor’s table and it took an introduction by Wafa, a friend and fellow student, to discover Tilika at Studio Passepartout.
Tilika hand makes her using ingredients sourced locally and ethically from around the world.
She has a few pigments made from rocks foraged around the UAE - hopefully we'll see a pigment from each emirate😉
The process of grinding, washing and mulling ingredients by hand and then layering them into pans is a lengthy one.
I have an appreciation for all the work and effort that Tilika puts into making each pigment as Wafa and I attended a workshop a few years ago with Art of Islamic Pattern on how to make pigments from mineral rocks and earth.
It took 4 days for a group of students and our tutor, Adam Williamson, to produce a small set of watercolours!!

I have a weakness for pastry cream - a smooth, creamy custard thickened with starch.
It’s even more irresistible when used as a filling in choux à la crème (profiteroles or cream puffs) and éclairs😋
Dana at Madame Choux Dubai makes these delicious classic French pastries in a variety of flavours (personal favourites are vanilla, lemon, dark chocolate, praline and salted caramel) along with macarons, tarts and cakes.

Jewellery by Leah ‘s range of personalised jewellery and accessories make ideal little gifts for any occasion.
Leah made a custom piece for Mr Baked’s niece’s birthday: a green beaded bracelet (as green is Abi’s favourite colour) with an "Ace of Spades" ♠️ charm.
Unable to source an , Leah promptly made the charm herself by hand - talk about going above and beyond!
Thank you Leah, Abi loves her bracelet and wears it all the time 💚
Fun fact: Leah's son, Bailey, used to call our gingerbread cookies "Jinglebread" when he was younger. We loved the story so much that we adopted the "Jinglebread" name for both our festive gingerbread kits!
