They were absolutely amazing!!! Tasted and looked just devine! I’ve been eating left overs each day, not that there was much left!
Everyone was raving about them!
Orange polenta, chai and wedding were my fav!! Didn’t even get to try the brownie…. Was gone in a flash!!

More of what people think!

Just wanted to let you know that we had your pudding for dinner on Saturday night when some friends came round and my god, not just saying this because I don’t actually like Christmas pudding, it well and truly lived up to the hype – it was amazing!!! I thought I may like it when I read the description with all the extra nuts etc and YES I DID! Served with vanilla bean custard, ice cream and raspberries… divine.

soggy Slow Food

December 1st, 2011 — 3:45am

What a shocker the weather was last saturday at Abbotsford Convent Slow Food market.

But the Christmas spirit was high over the weekend!

We have now sold out of 800g, 400g, and 100g pudds, leaving only the 1.5kg!

and some wheat free options!

 

So if you want us to make more pudds cos you missed out, then like us on Facebook, and if we get enough likes we will make more pudds!
