2009-12-20 - Christmas Bake Off

On the coat tails of the success of the last one, how about a christmas time one? I've talked to Steve and have been offered the 20th as the best date for us to have upstairs. People up for it? If so I'll confirm with Steve and start working on catagories and prizes.

I won't be in London around that time but it's awesome that another one is happening. If you want the score sheet thing Nhatt I can ping it over to you if you pm me your email.

I think rules for this one should be no tupperware no entry

1. konijn! I've got a christmas cake chocolate truffle recipe I want to try...
   
   

Also, as fun as eating cheesecake with your bare hands is, plates and cutlery might be a good idea this time (bring your own if the pub can't spare?)

and a whip round for paper plates and placcy spoons!

Cool, good plan.

Sounds good. Best stollen category fo sho!

My baking sucks.

Oh yes...stollen.

I love stollen.

Can try a panetone or a pan de spagna. Probably be a high gluten one.

Good effort Nhatt, well up for another cake-off! but what to bring to the table. . .

Sweet and i am in the country.. get in! mince pie category should be in place.. samplers for the crowd

Slightly off topic...

I'm trying to get hold of ingredients to make Flapjacks, but i'm confused as to what oats to use... all the recipes say rolled oats but i can never find em in the suprmarket.

Could someone point out the obvious?

rolled oats?

rolled oats?

Yeah thats what i meant, but can't find em, just porridge oats

rolled oats- when ever I see that on an ingredients list I just use porridge oats. Works fine for me.

Great cheers for that. Lame question i know

You can also expriment using machine cut oats for a different texture.

Possible additional categories:

Best Chocolate Log
Best Christmas Cake
Best Mince Pie
Special Vegan Category
Stollen
Biscuits (flapjack etc)
Sweets (as in truffles, choc covered strawberrys etc)

Probably try to do one in each category to avoid Pickle sweeping the floor again. Oh and no repeating past recipes!

maybe in, although I have an exam two days after that so will have to see how the study is going..
Currently about to start experimenting in the world of fudge. I will try and corral MOC into an xmas guinness cake.
We were talking about mince pies as well, so they may feature

Can we have a savory category?
