Questions
Making an 18cm Christmas Cake
Hi Lindsey - I'd like to make Delia's Classic Christmas Cake in smaller tins - so using an 18cm tin rather than a 20cm tin. Can you advise on quantities and cooking times needed for the smaller tin size? Thank you very much. Richard
Decoration the cake without marzipan
I know the créole is already quite rich; but if I wanted to ice it could I do so without the marzipan? And if so, when/how? I hate the flavour of almond and previously made a pistachio marzipan but it is just too much hard work!
Dariol Christmas Puddings
Can I make Delia’s traditional Christmas Pudding in small dariole moulds and if so, how long should they be steamed for please?
Mum's Steak and Kidney Pie from frozen!
Hi Lindsay, I have to make 12 of Delia's Mum's steak and kidney pies and need to make them in advance. Can I assemble the pies and freeze them and, if so, would it be better to freeze them with the pastry cooked or uncooked? And can you please advise me on how to cook or reheat after freezing?
It would be impossible to assemble the pies on eating day, so I do hope that freezing is the answer.
