And I hate Christmas Pudding...but it looks pretty...

In fact I hate fruit cake and marzipan so much that my wedding cake is not going to consist of it. (ok maybe the top tier but the rest is going to be sponge and chocolate cake)

Cakes or buns or marzipan

i would live off mince pies, xmas cake, christmas pudding and beer over xmas, love them all :D

This year i will be making and perfecting my mince own mince pies, so any suggestions on receipes would be gratefully received :D
 
Stop torturing me :(

No mince pies here or cadburys here :(


Although back in the UK in less than 2 weeks :D Who knows, I may even just be able to afford one mince pie with the $ conversion rate right now.
 
CustomPC gave the Mr Kipling mince pies, 0 out of 5. Harrods got the best with 5/5, not surprising for the price of them though

And Im resisting at the moment as if I get them for myself I'll go through boxes and boxes of them

When I go to my nans for Christmas I can spend a couple of days eating them :p

The Delia Smith recipe for mince pies is so easy and you can adapt it anyway you like.

I bought some Duchy Original mince pies a little while ago and was surprised to see that the use by date was for the end of November. I wonder how many people bought these and put them away for Xmas?

They were really good btw and were worth the money.

Best way to eat mince pies (or any fruit pies for thet matter) is to lever off the lid and put some thick cream on top of the filling. Put the lid back on and consume.

I always make traditional shortcrust ones, along with puff pastry ones, filo pastry ones and lattice ones, as various members of the family are really fussy. Can't wait for Xmas
