dw99 hamper contents happy with most of contents but considering price the christmas cake was minute! ChuBBy quEEn Naked sponge cake Now there is just more of the cream and less of the actual sponge which is the reason we buy the cake anyway.

Stir in the orange zest and 1 tbsp orange juice. Fold in the floured dried fruit and blanched almonds. GMCAV Perfect for parties and good quality Excellent for parties and delicious flavour. All my friend love it Mr Rix Stop using polystyrene tubes as a filler. It would have been 5 stars apart from the horrid polystyreme tube wotsit looking thigs that you used as a filler this year underneath the shredded straw. It has always just been shredded straw in previous years. The polystyrene this year looks cheap and nasty.

If you’ve gone a little too hard on the turkey, our smaller puds and treats are the answer. Mix and match to create your own version of a restaurant-style small dessert plate, or pile up a platter with a variety and let everyone dig in. Choose from Collection chocolate pine cones – a chocolate mousse confection filled with chocolate sauce, dipped in dark chocolate and finished with a dusting of sugar, or serve mini melt in the middle puddings:velvety chocolate puddings, with a hidden melted chocolate centre. But for those who can't be bothered to make their own, the supermarkets sell some excellent options. I tried Christmas cake bars from Marks and Spencer, Tesco, Aldi and Asda to find the best one and there was a clear winner.

New to the Foodhall is our stunning passionfruit and white chocolate yule log,perfect for serving a crowd and hand-decorated with white chocolate and shimmering biscuit balls. Try white chocolate and raspberry panna cotta,a creamy combination of white chocolate and Madagascan vanilla, topped with raspberry compote, or take a trip to the darker side with a chocolate melt in the middle pudding– cut open to reveal the ‘ta-da’ of the Belgian chocolate sauce. We have a super-special festive cheesecake, too – baked Alaska cheesecake is a combination of creamy vanilla cheesecake, vanilla sponge and berries covered with baked meringue. Luscious. The Collection chocolate torte is new and vegan-friendly, too. Slice into a dark chocolate ganache smothering a crunchy biscuit base topped with dark chocolate. Asda's Christmas bar stood out for its texture. Unlike the others which were rather dense, this one was a lot lighter and somewhat fluffy. I would describe it as 'cake-y'. The sultanas were big and juicy and the crumbs were nice and soft. The icing was very sweet.For something small and sweet to serve with coffee, bring a selection of these treats to the table: mini chocolate tortes are indulgent Belgian chocolate ganache bites, while our mini macarons in raspberry, Belgian chocolate and vanilla flavours will add a touch of luxury. You can’t beat profiteroles, and as it’s Christmas, you’d better make sure they’re posh ones. Our Collection posh profiteroles are filled with sea-salted caramel cream and topped with chocolate sauce. One just isn’t enough.

Some lovely wines and chocolates, biscuits and nuts. Tried to buy more of the Christmas pudding flavour biscuits, but sold out everywhere. The non alcoholic juice came in handy for visitors who helped share the bounty. Basket was very sturdy and will no doubt be useful for years to come. Looking forward to next years hamper already. For some family members, Christmas wouldn’t be the same without traditional treats, like Christmas pud, trifle or profiteroles. Our new Collection perfectly matured Christmas puddingis bursting with vine fruits, cherries, almonds and festive spices and comes wrapped in a decorative reusable tea towel.
