Well I've been at it again I have made some more cakes, two are orders from friends and one is a gift for my next door neighbour, still a bit rough round the edges but with more practice I will get better, these are my usual Victoria sponge cakes decorated in festive designs. The mince pies I had made didn't get a look in as my son has taken them to work, I have one jar left of the mince pie filling, so I think I will just make a few more. Well wrap up warm if you have to go out me, I am going back to the kitchen, then relaxing in front of the fire and TV. If I don't get chance to speak to you again have a great Christmas and New Year.
lovely cakes...did you use a fondant frosting?
ReplyDeleteYes I did, I also got a few tips from the lady whose shop I bought some cutters and things from as I got talking to her about me doing some classes next year to learn how to do the really fancy things.
ReplyDeleteI made several quarts of mince pie filling once....about 30 years ago. I had mince pie for about 3 years and since then I tried a store bought mince filling....not so good. My husbnd isn't crazy about it so I have been mince-free for years. Once we retire and I live near family I may make it again. Enjoy yours.
ReplyDeleteYou cakes are too pretty to cut. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
