I bought biscuits in Aldi this morning, for solace.

Chocolate biscuits, I sat and ate them all at one go, I feel sick now and I'm still missing that cake.

You should have purchased some of their stollen.

The boss has been baking today, under my supervision obviously.
Nutty, chocolate & blueberry biscuits.
Plain & coffee shortbread.
Cupcakes of some description.
She's now on with stollen rolls, mince pies then sticky toffee puddings to finish with.
Then she wonders why I can't lose weight.
Savoury baking tomorrow plus panna cotta & chocolate mousses.
I hope my new shirt fits me on Boxing Day.

Did Alan Bennet write this post?

Do you mind?!? We're discussing cake here.

If you have information regarding anything Pre-Match for the Boxing Day fixture between Leeds and Wakefield could you please start an appropriate thread with an appropriate title and stop interrupting our cake thread.

TIA.

i need to take my mind off cake... its making me hungry...
I may need to go to Aldi on the way home and get some stollen. Buy I do know the kids have been making a Cadbury's chocolate cake today. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm chocolate !!!!

I've just nipped home to pick up my camera (niece's concert) and we're onto batch 9 of Cheesecake. This is the last one I'm allowed to eat before a decision needs to be made as to which one we're going for.

The current leader is White Chocolate & Baileys.

There's some mince pies in the oven too, and apparently she's made the mincemeat from scratch too!

I bought a huge stollen cake at the German market last year, imagine my surprise when I got it home to find that none of the family like stollen cake, imagine how disappointed I was at their news and the fact that I had to eat all of it myself.

Then they reminded me that the same thing had happened the year before too, silly me, fancy forgetting that no-one else likes the stuff in our house, I mean, you'd only buy a small piece if you knew that wouldn't you ?

White chocolate and baileys cheesecake, where do you live, heaven ?

forget the game on Boxing day. Just have a cake sale in the long bar instead

Now that does sound like a decent cheesecake.
The best I've eaten came from a shop Marie Callenders in LA - its a chain - but they were great; could feed a family of 12 ( 4 if yanks) or one McF.

The thing is, she's been making single size portions to see which works best, but now it's drawing nearer and we have a shortlist she's onto full size cheesecakes to get the proportions and presentation right, and we can't take it round on Christmas Day with a slice or two missing. That would be just rude. So I think we'll use this one as a full size tester to be sure.
