Those who buy them, which have you bought, we have the Iceland Good Housekeeping one.

Interested to see responses, I�m looking for a good quality royal iced version, they all seem to be fondant.

Nobody buys Christmas cakes?

archibald · 17 Dec 20, 11:35 AM

We do, but only for eating while the actual christmas cake receives it's weekly injections of alcohol, so undecorated. We've tried Morrisons, Tesco's, Aldi & Lidl this year

, the round ones at about �4 (�6 for Tesco finest which actually was the worst).

M&S are always spoken about as being good, but I don't think I've had any other than at a wedding a few years ago and I can't really remember it.

Favourite is from Lidl which is now screaming at me from the pantry so I'm going to go and put the kettle on.

I haven't been going out shopping so haven't had the chance to have a look for any

I was just saying to DH the other day that I have missed that this year so tried to add one to my Tesco delivery but there weren't any listed!

I think we are going to pop to M&S on Sunday for some cheat veg and will hopefully buy one there.

Last year my sister bought a Iceland one and a M&S one and the Iceland one was nicer

Iceland mince pies have been mentioned a bit this year too - and deliveries are still available around here.
