Wrap Up: Xmas Round and Reminder Baking this Sunday!

Hello Bakers,

My goodness it was an absolute treat putting together this Wrap Up from the Christmas Round. Some seriously amazingly gorgeous baking and so much of it.  When we arrived at the hospice they were so blown away by the amazing generosity and incredibly high standard of baking so thank you so so so much to everyone! Massive appreciation for your talent and generosity and for taking the time out of a very busy time of year to bake some goodies for the lovely folk at the hospice!!
