First round of mince pies made

Hoping to make the Jamaican rum cake by the end of this week for the Christmas buffet…… anyone else making any Christmas bakes…. Or have you started on just eating them yet?

Home baked cakes and mince pies are always great at Christmas, I have made some mince pies which turned out good for a first attempt.

I have put some outdoor Christmas lights up for a couple too

I’m so jealous! I lost weight in pregnancy but think I’ve piled it all back on

It’s made with puff pastry and same concept as chocolate tree. I either cook the apples down to a purée with a little bit of cinnamon or leave small chunks and add in some raisins. Also done it with cherry pie filling It can be a gooey mess, but I like it. It’s great cold or hot. Either make a large one or multiple smaller ones. Smaller ones I don’t trust the branches just more like little individual pies shaped as trees

Look up chocolate pastry tree

Not yet no! I'm waiting to start the festive baking the weekend following the MLS - this year I'm going to do a chocolate orange cheesecake, a berry meringue wreath and some linzer cookies (minus the deadly almonds).

Just popping in to say a huge congratulations on the birth of your baby boy. Apologies for the lateness but as I noticed you on this thread I realised I hadn't congratulated you.
