I wish you could all smell my house right now...it is definitely beginning to smell like Christmas, with its mixture of aromatic spices and deliciousness its doesn't get any better. I have started my Christmas baking for the freezer so I don't put myself under pressure later. Mince pies were the order of the day for todays baking.
A nutty crumble top with peel and an avalanche of icing sugar.
Pastry topped decadence a thrill for the senses. It wouldn't be Christmas without a mince pie.
A tin full ready to take down to Mum and Dad, ready for family visitors.
A fulfilling few hours with the lingering smell left to tease us. Have you done any Christmas baking yet?
See you soon.
Today I've put the marzipan on the cake, made some mince pies and we are part way through decorating the house. I've just stopped for a cuppa and to sample the mince pies! Have fun! x
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, sounds like my house smells like your house ;)
ReplyDeleteWe've just finished putting up the tree, a few more touches to add over the weekend and then we are all ready!
I love mince pies. Yours look delicious and I like the idea of a nutty crumble topping.

ReplyDeleteThe only baking that I have done so far is cake making and marzipanning. I don't know if I will do mince pies of just buy some - horror!!! Not really in the mode this year, so I will perhaps sit back and enjoy looking at yours instead as they look so great! xx
