Come on, there are limits. I love her to bits but nobody gets my eclair!

So was it worth the effort? Would you do it again? Would you make your own pastry again or use the JusRol?

Although I have thoroughly enjoyed myself I have to confess that I would probably buy the pastry ready made just to save a bit of time, saying that I have never made a pie at all, let alone with HM pastry so who knows the ready made stuff might not do my filling justice! The pie filling itself is just divine and would definitely make it again...

A big thanks to all those who contributed to the recipe and tips (especially jobbingmusician), and thanks also to all those who made this thread what it is - the audience

MBE, that was brilliant, love the bird and hand decoration. And the bits around the blackbirds head.
