Bake down....

The bake off started well on saturday - ingredients were brought and expectations were high. After 20 minutes the fun was all over - I decided I did not like baking anymore and that was inconvenient as I had just started.

A bench that showed I meant business.

Gingerbread hotties all round

Melting moments which I was told were very sweet - I am taking that as a compliment as biscuits are meant to be sweet right?


The final products, warpped and ready to go. As much as I decided I did not like to bake it was worth the effort - I have already given a few of the gifts away and the recipients were so grateful.
I ended up making melting moments, gingerbread covererd in white/dark choc, heart shape shortbread with cranberry and almonds covered in white choc and Jam centered shortbread biscuits.
Still got to tackle the macaroons - just seemed too hard on the day. If I ever bake again it will be one thing at a time.
