Thank you to everyone reads Maison Cupcake and follows on social media. I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and look forward to sharing more cake with you in the new year. Thank you also to everyone who contributed to this compilation of alternatives to mince pies.
I love the look of all of these! Will certainly be trying out your deconstructed mince pie dessert this Christmas. Thanks for including my recipe 🙂
What a fantastic selection! I have 3/4 of a jar waiting to be used up. Not sure which of these to have a go at first 🙂
Love all the different ways to use mincemeat. Will have to start expirimenting next year. Thank you for featuring my mince pie samosas. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and Happy 2016!
