Questions & Answers

Are you able to taste fruit cake in this? How is it similar to a fruit cake in terms of ingredients? Thanks a lot! ?

It is a traditional Christmas pudding often served at Christmas dinner for dessert. It is quite similar to a rich fruit Christmas cake with lots of fruit, but it is softer, more moist, and needs to be heated before serving and eaten with custard or *br>It is our hope that I send you my kind regards, Erika- The Customer Service Department of Walkers Shortbread

Which cooking method should I use?

To begin with it has already been cooked, and all that needs to be done is to heat it up. In order to slice the fruitcake, I remove the plastic case and cut it into pieces. They're heated in the microwave for about 30 seconds and then I serve them with hard sauce. The hard sauce is made from butter and powdered sugar (almost like a stiff frosting) and is drizzled on the cake. Apparently the sauce is pretty rich, so cut the slices into tiny hexagons (you can buy the sauce in small jars). It is likely that the fruitcake will include instructions.

This is plum pudding, isn't it?

Plum pudding - sometimes called apple pie - is made by adding sugar to mashed potatoes. There don't seem to be many plums in it, however!

Is this system going to serve a large population?

Plum Pudding is normally very rich, so a little goes a long way. I've never tried this brand before. There will be plenty of mince pies and Christmas cake in addition to serving 6 to 8 people from this size.

It's time for some Christmas pudding
5/5

In addition, Although my husband is British and he does not have a particularly strong liking for desert other than during Christmas, he always demands a Christmas pudding. Having grown up in the United States, I am not really a fan of this type of dessert, but once a year, I am fine with I found this one to be very moist and flavorful, and the fruit was soft and plump. If you pour some brandy over this baby and light it on fire, then you've got a great way to end your Christmas dinner. Brandy butter is not to be missed!.

This cake was very expensive for the little bit you got
3/5

It is a very small cake for what I paid. I paid $26 for a simple The fruit cake is small, with not much marzipan and a very thin layer of royal icing. At worst, it's 2 inches across. It's okay, but it's not great. There is nothing exciting to report. It's quite depressing and upsetting to waste money like that. After arriving in the US for Christmas, I was happy to have a bit of home until I realized how much I had The Walkers products we bought also don't have an expiration date printed on them. Each had a sticker with a date on it. It was not packaged with the original product. The date of manufacture cannot be determined from these products.

They're not at all like the crappy fruitcakes you remember from the US
5/5

This will be part of my dessert spread this Christmas. I bought it on Amazon. Fruitcake is a detested dessert by most Americans It would be an understatement to say that. There are contests where folks throw fruitcake at each other to physically demonstrate their hatred of it. The disdain for this cake can be traced back to its cheap, low-quality nature as is the case for so many other things. My husband is a French Canadian who grew up eating foods of much higher quality, and I'm blessed to be the wife of such a person. Thanks to his encouragement, I decided to dip my toe in the waters of European products -- and I am There is not much of this cake, but it is very rich and dense. When it's out of the wrapping it fits on a medium sized plate and slices easily without tearing. I sliced into about 10 pieces and then arranged it on its side to drizzle about 1 teaspoon of oil on top. Over the cake, 5 ounces of brandy should be poured. I did not get any soggy patches as it soaked in nicely. It was a big hit with my 8 year old nephew! The initial reaction of my family was to groaned loudly when they learned this is a fruitcake, but I and everyone else who tried it loved it. I like the taste of this cake it has a hint of raisins and cloves with no overpowering flavours. In the US, candied fruit is a common theme. In the UK, it's not common. This stuff is unbelievable! You've got to try it!.

Quite a bit of filling is missing
4/5

The mince pies I ordered weren't crushed during shipping and they were as good as new! I took a photo of my pie to compare it to the picture on the box. While well packed, the filling to pastry ratio was disappointing, as can be seen in my photo. There is a buttery, rich, and buttery quality to the pastry, almost like it is I don't like it, but there are too many of them. There was no true mincemeat filling, it was more like raisins with a hint of orange juice. The shortbreads were ok and definitely fresh, but didn't have the traditional flavor I was looking for. They'd make a great addition to any shortbread lover's collection.

This makes me a little nervous to eat
3/5

Aside from the taste being almost stale and the fact that there was no "best buy" date on the insert they included with the package, this is a bad product. I could not read it and nothing was written on it. There is too much sweetness in the marzipan and icing. There was an absence of fruit and nuts in the tea cake, and it could have been I'm going to pick up some brandy or rum and add a drizzle to see if it I would feel a lot better about this cake if it was marked with a "best buy" date of sale so I knew exactly when it was made The thought of eating a piece of cake that is more than two years old grosses me out, even if it is still delicious. My plan is to wait to see if I get sick before eating any more. The fruitcake of a famous queen whose wedding they discovered once was not the usual wedding cake What do you think now that it's been 100 years?.

Despite damage to the product, the mailing package was intact
3/5

Despite its arrival, the package was not damaged. As I opened the box, the inside of the box that contained the Plum Pudding itself had been ripped open, exposing the pudding, and the plastic covering had been torn, revealing That Christmas Pudding was really something I had been looking forward to. The pictures would have been great if I had taken them, but I did not. Due to the dish being opened and me not wanting to take a chance in if something had been put into the pudding, I threw it away. Amazon is the only place where I buy regularly and I have never had a product be damaged as this one There was nothing to like about this order, as it was for our Christmas party, and it was damaged where I would never have taken a chance that something might have been injected into it.

A Christmas without Christmas pudding would be incomplete! Having ordered a pudding from Fortnum & Mason, we were looking forward to eating it Mason sent it to me, but it was "lost in the mail" (to whomever has it, what a lovely gift! And please do something nice for someone else too, in return
4/5

Trying to find a Gluten-free menu at the last minute, we frantically looked for Until now, this was the only option available unto anyone at all. The outcome was certainly both disappointing and satisfying we didn't get gold standard, but we definitely The following information is provided as an estimate Obviously, the pudding is only a third the size of the already small plastic bowl that it comes in, but it is still tasty and tasty enough for one serving. It's business as A very rich person should have enough money to buy everything they need. I liked the taste The gluten may have something to do with it I liked the fact that it was free, but I did not like how granular it tasted. In spite of this, it was otherwise a very tasty dish. Everything I needed to make Christmas dinner was available, and I was able to save the day!.

This cake is very moist, dense, and rich with a good amount of orange zest
4/5

I updated it after purchasing it a second time. NEW UPDATED PAGE! In the end, we bought it again for this Christmas and I steamed it for more than 2 hours, it was soooooo moist and tasted better than the first I enjoyed it a lot except for my 5 year old. The orange is the predominant flavor. The first time I've had a Christmas pudding was last year, my husband was from England and has tasted many kinds of puddings. He thought this one was very A lovely flame emerged as the brandy was poured over it. During the steaming process, I allowed it to sit for 90 minutes. It had a very moist texture and tasted delicious, but it had too much orange flavor in my opinion and my son's opinion. This is my 4 year old. I'm seven years old. It is the beginning of my 9th year. The two of us ate half of it, a small piece each, and after that we all thought we could have another piece of it, but I couldn't finish it, neither could my youngest , it is very rich and even though it looks small, it is just right. Our family might buy it again next year and make a tradition out of it.
