After weeks of watching all the delicious things popping up all over the foodie blogosphere, the event 50 brilliant food bloggers had all been looking for took place on Friday 18th November at Fortnum & Mason.
Created by the gorgeous Vanessa Kimbell, Let's Make Christmas has given us the opportunity to actually meet bloggers face to face and discuss all things food and beyond.
Each of brought gifts to swap. I took along some Triple Ginger Cakes baked in Kilner jars, some Glittery Chilli Vodka and some little Meringue Nibbles. These are the laden gift tables, the baked one proving to be very popular!

These are the gifts I received in the swap. Some lovely Blackberry Liqueur from A Trifle Rushed, some Table Truffles from What Kate Baked and some Christmas Feel Good Cookies from Cindy at Food for Thoughts. All of which, I can personally say are delicious. Jim was very impressed too!
Overall, it was a great day spent in great surroundings with even greater people. I honestly hope we can all meet up again very soon!

And ever so kind of you to say such nice things about the truffles! It would be so great to make it an annual event...or even bi-annual!!
ReplyDeleteIt was really lovely to meet you. Your gifts all looked amazing - I would love to try the ginger cake and the glitter vodka was inspired. I hope there's another event to meet up at soon.
