All the ingredients were in place - so no excuse there.
But once again, when faced with a choice of activities, I choose the one I'd like to do instead of the one that I should be doing.
So today I tidied out my sewing room - sorted stash, put projects into boxes - the whole shebang!
But that has mean that I've just finished the mince pies - and the Christmas cake has only just been marzipaned!!!!
EEEEK.
No chance at all that it will get iced by tomorrow - last year (there seems to be a pattern here) I iced it on Christmas morning at about 6am.
It was
a
DISASTER
The icing was still soft (of course) - but luckily the assembled guests were so full of Christmas lunch that they didn't want the cake anyway.
So here are my mince pies - somehow they really don't look like the ones in the recipe books
especially this rather strange one...
and heres my cake so so far.......
