Biscuits complete!

I am giving a bag with one of each type of biscuit to my family, plus a tub full for my Mum and a tub for each of the two teams I am with at work. Plus a smaller container for me.

All the biscuits

Thanks. I've just put on 5 kgs by looking.

Seriously. Bloody superb. And in this weather I would've been swearing by now. Well done.

The air conditioner has done a great job in making sure I keep my cool.

How can you objectively evaluate the taste quality without a volunteer who is unbiased?

Beautiful!

Ooh, like your waffer stamp

It's the first time I've used it! I bought a Tefal Snackmaker years ago, which is like a jaffle iron with changeable plates. It's taken me this long to get around to actually making anything with these plates. They look pretty fancy though, I might have to try the chocolate version next.

I too would like to be part of the quality assurance / control team.

They look great!

Shit that's a lot of effort though!

Ooh yum! What’s the one with jam in the middle?

I am so envious right now. They look amazing!
