Hi Lesley,
The wreath can be frozen or prepped ahead of time and stored in the fridge before baking.
Hope this helps!
Hello Dave, We used a 26cm bundt tin, but can definitely be scaled accordingly! Hope this helps.
Greetings
Are you going to answer my question as to the size of the bundt tin used that posted last w/e or just ignore me?
Christmas is getting close you know, there is planning to be done here.
Thank you
Dave Turnbull
Looks nice, but how big is the bundt tin? I have a 28cm one, which is quite large, for a big table, so some guidance as to how much to scale-up the ingredients would be good.
Thanks
Can you freeze the Chestnut wreath??
