I was making mince pies at work today in the in-store bakery. I can't believe it already! None of them had sold by the time. I left

What's a mince pie exactly?

 

[motherofboys]

Its a small, pie with a lid (usually short crust but you can get all sorts now) with something called mincemeat in it, though it isnt actually meat, it's dried fruit like raisens etc. Irs hard to describe really. But it's something that always makes it on to the shelves here for Christmas

 

[Bevziibubble]

Yes I made shortcrust mince pies and puff pastry mince pies yesterday.
Do you bake at your store @motherofboys?

 

[motherofboys]

I don’t, part of me is relieved and the other part is slightly bummed about it hahaha
I didnt do it in the old store as they skipped anything not completely necessary with them changing ownership, so I thought I might when I moved to the new store but I'm guessing they have enough bakery trained staff so not worried about it.

 

[Bevziibubble]

I dreaded it at first but quite enjoy it now!

 

[motherofboys]

I do love baking, but there's definitely more to consider when doing it for paying customers hahaha

 

[Bevziibubble]

Definitely

 

[Babybump87]

Oh I love baking but I’d burn the place down doing trays at a time hahah


Following your journal too Bev haha x

I am so bad. I tend to toss filling and eat the crust, Bev. I love flacky pastries or pies...goodness, gonna have to bake something soon.

 

[kirstybumx3]

Ohhh no I can't like mince pies, I really want to as I love everything else to do with Christmas
But unfortunately my tastebuds said noooooo
