Last year my eight or so weeks away in Glasgow attending The Beatson for radiotherapy meant that I just didn’t get to make the six Christmas cakes that I usually make for some of my friends. I am determined to get back on track this year so today I started by preparing the ingredients for a mix and bake tomorrow. The dried fruit is now soaking in brandy ready for the off. All as per Goddess Delia’s recipe I’ve been doing this since I was confined to barracks after a heart attack in 2000 and discovered that people actually like what I did. That’s a huge incentive isn’t it?
Just two words -

ReplyDeletePlease enlighten me: baking Christmas cake seven months before Christmas???
ReplyDeleteThat is organisation! Although it's only eight o'clock I have a yearning for fruit cake and Stilton. Which will no doubt plague me all day.

ReplyDeleteYum! Or as an extended family member used to say when she was three (and we still say) " Mmmmm, MALICIOUS!"
