Wellbeing Farm
We’ve created Mince Stars instead of pies to reflect the magic of The Wellbeing Farm because at the minute we need all the stars, twinkle and magic that we can get our hands on.
The stars have been drizzled with white chocolate, made from puff pastry with the mince mixture in the middle. The mince filling will have a dash of slowdown gin made by the Cuckoo Gin guys at Brindle Distillery and finished off with a dusting of icing sugar snow.
Mince pies lovingly made for The Wellbeing Farm by Maria Grieco from Dinner at Maria’s.
