I'll post the photos with explanations rather than list everything this time.
First, to start the week off, I made 24 mini Victoria sponges for Jo's work place last Thursday for Friday morning delivery as it was her birthday at the weekend - I made 18 jam and butter-cream ones and 6 lemon curd and lemon butter-cream ones.
Then on Friday I made a dozen blueberry muffins and also a dozen chocolate cupcakes and covered them in a white chocolate butter-cream and topped with some gold sugar crystals
Then it was down to the Christmas items
I managed to ice and decorate the mini Christmas cakes and the Christmas loaf cake on Friday morning - keeping it simple this year and using my new tree and holly leaf cutters
The loaf cake should be covered in a gold shimmer, it doesn't show up very well and I think the gold must have sunk to the bottom of the spray can, I will have another shake and spray later I think
Then on Monday next on the list were the Baileys mince pies - very yummy pastry with Baileys in the pastry :-) There were, in fact, 14 but two had to be tested for quality control you understand ;-)
I also made the Mary Berry mincemeat streusel from her programme on the television this week. This has now been cut into 16 pieces and is ready to transport
Finally, for this side of Christmas anyway, the Christmas Ham
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all who read my blog - thanks for looking xxx
