Christmas baking

I spent this afternoon baking with my mum. She gave me instructions while I did all the hard work! We made mince pies and shortbread - I've never made mince pies before and I've made shortbread loads of times.

The mince pies turned out really really well - for a first go they look pretty neat and they almost look like they were bought in a shop, but they taste much better :P

  

I've got to include a photo of the shortbread as it's soooo tasty too...

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go and have some mince pies and get in the Christmas mood :)

(on an entirely different note, this is my 50th post! Woohoo!)
