Greetings from Australia. I liked these. Thanks Lieutenant Ducky ! Made them today, very simple, - the only thing with the first dozen was that the jam seeped all over them and didnt add to the presentation! So my answer was to use a half glace cherry on each one of the remaining 36 instead - worked a treat. Friends will be receiving these in Christmas tins !
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live on the west coast of Canada and love it here. I am an avid baker and cook, nature-lover, photographer-by-hobby, reader, runner.. yes, life is good. I love cooking pizza from scratch, concocting flavored sorbets, and baking cookies and cake. I am sort-of-known for my cake-baking skills: I've made them for my friends' surprise birthday parties, and for family members. I also made an E=MC2 shaped chocolate cake for physics class once. I love baking a cake based on the person's personality- cheese cake, coconut-peach cake, fruit and chocolate cake... it's fun. Anyway, that's a bit about me.
