Tonight i made traybakes

Well, tomorrow is my best pal's wedding party after she got married 2 weeks ago. I originally said I'd make lots of cupcakes but someone else who is better at them offered instead so when i asked her what she wanted she said traybakes! So here i am! 
My stuff!!!

The plan was to make about 7 different ones to cut into wee bits so everyone could get a bit of something. So far I'm  finished 4 of them! 

First off was the base for peppermint slice, then when that was in the oven i smooshed up some custard creams for a different one.  Then i made a mars bar crispie because that's the easiest one. With the mars cooling i made peppermint icing (a bit too minty i think but fuck it) and popped the tons of condensed milk i bought into the  custard cream thingy! 

Peppermint slice base and custard cream thingy.
And then i was done! Its amazing how simple things still take bloody ages to make!
But then i thought no- if i finish now them I'll have even more to do in the morning! So i made some fudge which -by the way- is fucking amazing! First time I've ever made fudge and its just brilliant! It doesn't look very much portion wise, but it says it cuts into 60!! 60!?! That should be interesting! 

Mars bar crispy.  Nom.
Custard cream slice with rainbow drop top.  How fancy am I?!?!! :)
So tomorrow I'll get cracking with boiled fruit cake (smiddy loaf to my friends), tiffin cake and millionaire's shortcake.  I'll probably have to buy more syrup as Andrew realised the other night that the combination of syrup and digestives was his favourite thing ever (wee shite).
Off to bed with a bottle of wine :-) see yall tomorrow!
