Mince Pie Cakes

I'm in a very Pimp-My-Xmas mood today, I have been shopping for candles that smell of Xmassy things, some wool to knit a pudding and I'm wearing my slippers with bells on that confuse the cats.

And also I made Little Mince Pie Cakes, aren't they cute? I bet you all know someone who eats mince pies and only eats the middle, leaving the pastry so these could be the answer. They go all hollow in the middle too so they are just like a mince pie with cake round the outside - genius! I think I will be doing these quite often in the next couple of weeks.

As for the recipe, I found it made 16 instead of 12 (in cupcake cases, maybe they meant muffin size?) At first I was a bit cross that they split a little on top but once the icing sugar is on I think it makes them look even better.

Doh, I forgot icing sugar when I made mine!

I found it made 15 (though Elise and I did eat some of the mixture) so I think you're right about them meaning muffin cases AG. Bigger ones next time then!!

Aren't they sooooo easy?!

DQ ~xx~

I think I prefer them that size though DQ, and yes they are so easy. Del's cake radar was going mad so she wouldn't leave me alone,it took me a bit longer!

These look great, AG. I have a tub of mincemeat leftover from mince-pies. I'll definitely be giving these a go this week!!
