For Christmas Day/Boxing Day?

£10 too much? Or would you spend that as it’s a special occasion?….

Go….

@Starcup

I’m thinking £10 for a desert that would last 2 people possibly 2 days…

Deserts are the best and I read the Christmas magazines and see the most amazing deserts 😋🤤 and think wow yes, yes I’d buy that for £15! DH thinks I’m mad…. Fine but if everyone else thinks it’s fine then it’s fine! 😂

So £2.50 per serving? Bargain!

Unless you're very skint, this isn't extravagant at all.

@antisocialsocialclub

Depends how big it is. If there’s features like a cactus or an oasis, then significantly more.

www.theguardian.com/film/2021/dec/15/i-challenged-tom-cruise-to-send-me-two-of-his-special-cakes-for-christmas-did-he-deliver-of-course-he-did

Can I admit OP, I went so far as to go onto Doan's Bakery website for their white chocolate coconut Bundt cake - and had they shipped to the UK (Tom Cruise flies his by private jet so I should have guessed they didn't) I might have done it as a Xmas present to me Blush

The best cake I have ever had was a strawberry cream cake made by a Harrods pastry chef. It was exquisite.

But I usually spend 3 quid on marks and sparks Victoria Sandwich or Coffee cake, whilst fantasising on how the other half live.

🤣 We all do it. I blame autocorrect, I swear I’ve read something too and it seemed fine then after posting notice all the little errors 🙄🙂

We don’t do dessert really for Christmas as it is Christmas pudding or apple pie so very low cost.

If doing a different special dessert I wouldn’t have a limit, you pay around £6 per person in a restaurant for dessert so something £10-20 for lots of people is still a reasonable price to pay.

Bought an amazing gin and tonic semi-freddo from Cook the other week for a family get together - was £8.50 and would recommend it!

[quote StucklnAMuumuuCantGetOutOflt]I'd like this if it had chocolate coins or something inside. But seems a bit dull tbh.

this person has the nicest desserts on her page. Ive wasted ages trying to find the little truffle houses from M and S that she has on one of her posts. Cant find it so I'm gutted. the little houses are so cute.

has anyone seen them in store, I have pneumonia so cant venture out.

Mary Berry brownie recipe and switch the flour for GF, can’t tell the difference. Serve with chantilly and raspberries (and raspberry coulis if you can be arsed)

All that sand is going to right up your bum crack!

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 22/12/2021 05:24

going to GO FFS.

Stick with trifle.

Boobicoosg · 22/12/2021 05:28

I bet you will loose a lot of weight by embarking on this desert. Defiantly!

@Babdoc

Eating a dessert alone in the desert would make you feel deserted. And that you hadn’t received your just deserts. OP, you can’t buy a whole desert for £10. But you might get a small sand pit…. Grin
