Lesley Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 We don't have a Christmas cake because I don't like it - nor mince pies, although i do make some of those for the others as they are quick - a Christmas cake takes ages I do make chutney though - Apple and Orange and NO raisins/sultanas/squashed flies in it!!!

The Dogmother Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Yup! As in Garibaldi biscuits - you're too young to remember, I don't think they make them any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! Kate commented earlier that she wouldn't be making a Christmas Cake as the boys won't eat one. I had a little idea that I have asked Kate that I'm sure most of us will happily help! Kate has kindly said she would make a cake for us and raffle it at the Jimmy's Farm get together! Thanks Kate! now, how many people think it could be Dan's winning day again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Looking through all my recipes as I type, Andrew! Thanks for giving me an excuse to bake a cake . I can go whole hog and decorate it too ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Yup! As in Garibaldi biscuits - you're too young to remember, I don't think they make them any more. You can still buy them. They are lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 What a brilliant idea Andrew, and thanks Kate for agreeing to it. It sounds as if someone's going to win a lovely Christmas cake this year Since I never win anything I think I'll still make my own anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Are we doing a raffle then? If so, can we ban Dan to give us others a chance? I'll have to find a prize now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 If I win it, I shall donate it back - no disrespect to your lovely cake Kate, but none of us like Christmas cake (well, Rosie loves the icing, but that's it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thought did cross my mind Kate, but do I risk 2 cakes... or no cake at all I never win anything, and Dan's going, so enough said- I'll go and get my baking tins out now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 He might win, it but if it has nuts in/on he will have to give it back as he is extremely allergic to them Me, on the other hand love nuts, especially covered in chocolate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
