Tunnocks Thread 2

The question asked in Thread 1 has still not been answered satisfactorily, and so the quest continues to discover which side of the fence Tunnocks are on or whether they are in fact sat atop the fence throwing Snowballls and Tea cakes at both sides.

I have no idea where the link below will send you. hopefully to the original thread and at the start, but it could be a completely different thread half way through. I'm too full of sugar to concentrate properly!

All these Tunnocks! I'm definitely going to need bigger drawers 🤐or a zip to stop me eating the feckers.

I don’t think I’ve written any since the first volume but if I have then yes. I wonder if a teacake fits in our wooden advent calendar’s drawers, may have to practice

the poems that went into the e-book of the first volume are going in to the second volume as it didn't seem fair to not have them seen and read by more people, especially as the purchasers of the first volume were mainly buyers of the paperback version rather than the e-book. so it will be what you wrote back in April May time.

Just caught up after time away from MN. There was a box of teacakes next to me when I started. There is just a box now.

I’m very disappointed about the lack of selection box. I’m hoping if I mention this a couple 1000 times to my DC they may make me one

Edited

we will have to make our own selection boxes and advent calendars!

Much more importantly are you still happy for your UTDOD poems to go in the second volume?

I'm still mentally compiling my dream Christmas selection box. Maybe it should be an actual hamper and come with a copy of the books.

I approve of this comment

Ooh, you've been touched by Tunnocks. I'm surprised to find I'm a little jealous.

AppleTreeOwner · 05/10/2023 13:35

Reply from Tunnocks after emailed to suggest a Christmas selection box. Very prompt response but going to have to make my own version of a box….

Many thanks for your interest in our products, and your idea, unfortunately Tea cakes / Snowballs are fragile, and along with other products may squash inside a box, we have to also show our products to buyers, and they decide what to order from our range, we cannot make them take our products, sometimes that is why you see different products in different store's.

It's only the first bit that's teacakey. You can stop after that. It's also a bit waggonwheely, so be prepared.

This series is much better than the last few ones if that helps.

So hard. I hate bake off, but like tea cakes.

I'm torn

The white chocolate ones seemed that they'd be far too sweet.

IcakethereforeIam · 04/10/2023 20:52

I've only got as far as the custard creams.

Waitwhat23 · 04/10/2023 20:38

Just catching up on last night's bake off now. I've made Italian meringue before but Swiss meringue/marshmallow looks like far too much of a pain in the arse to bother with. The black forest tea cakes looked bloody nice, as did the peanut buttery ones and the malted milk ones.

(Hint, hint Tunnocks!)

IcakethereforeIam · 04/10/2023 20:37

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius I'm just watching it on catch up! If Tunnocks need some ideas for an Advert Calendar that's a bit 'extra'. But to run alongside a normal Tunnocks Calendar.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 03/10/2023 20:14

Some of the contestants are making tea cakes on Bake Off.

CervixSampler · 03/10/2023 19:40

These were my Maltesers cheesecakes. I think I used bourbons or digestives for the base. Then just Maltesers, sugar, cream cheese and cream, topped with ganache and Maltesers. No bake, big waist.

Maltesers with a glass of cold milk - delicious.

I made a cheesecake once that had a base made out of crushed maltesers and butter, with a cream cheese and Nutella topping, decorated with more maltesers. It was a thing of beauty and is single-handedly responsible for an inch on my waistline.
