Christmas Preparation 2018


I've got most of my Christmas preparation done early this year.  I made my own pastry for the mince pies.


 Had a trial run on Christmas bark.


 Made a big experimental batch of cranberry and Limoncello fudge.  (It is sooooooo good!)


 Was creative with some of the wrapping adding pine cones and tartan ribbon.


 Found a use for the jar of pom poms.


Enjoyed myself in the process. 




Happy Christmas to you all!

    1. I normally buy ready made pastry until I noticed all the ingredients in it! I am sure you would love the fudge Julia! Merry Christmas. x

  2. The all butter pastry doesn't have the nasty ingredients in them - but they only seem to stock them at Christmas. All your Christmas makes and bakes are lovely Simone. It is amazing how we all make similar things very differently and that is really nice to see in blogland.
    Have a wonderful Christmas xx
