Christmas Dilemma In Dunn’s

Where do I begin?  There’s so much to talk about.  The heady aromas floating around the Bakery are intoxicating and as I sit upstairs in the office I can barely concentrate.    So let’s talk about Christmas in Dunn’s – there just so much to choose from .  Every time I write my Christmas list I add something else.  Right here goes……………..

Christmas Pudding …. oh yes! and our homemade Brandy butter .

Mince pies – what to choose? There’s Shortcrust , Wholemeal or wonderful flaky puff. I know I’ll get an assorted box then everyone is happy.

Christmas cake –   thankfully we have our traditional fruit and a lovely light sponge cake so no problem there.

Oh  I must get the gingerbread for the children, they love the fun Christmas shapes and then there’s the fancy cakes, snow people with their brightly coloured scarves and Santa’s chimney a particular favourite.

There’s the fresh cream gateaux for those who want a creamy after dinner treat.  But then there’s  the Ganache Yule logs that have both the cream and chocolate – just too yummy to resist!  Hey, after all the cooking I am doing I deserve a treat!

I usually buy the mini Christmas cake and Mini Dundee cake for my neighbour , because she lives on her own a mini cake is just enough for her. Oh the Dundee cake I must add that to the list … I think it will be nice to try the Cherry Orange Dundee, a lovely zesty, tangy taste.  Oh, but there’s the Stollen and this year it has cranberries in it.  I got to taste test it (One of the perks of the job!!).  It is lovely fruity and juicy.

Oh what to do!  Everytime I write my list I end up changing it.  I just can’t make up my mind……

I’ve got an idea – if I get a Dunn’s  Christmas hamper then I don’t have to decide – it’s already done for me and there’s even a bottle in it – Job done!   Dilemma resolved!

Happy Christmas !
