The Christmas Cakes have become an established Christmas gift over the years, I'd vowed last year that I would never go through the hassle again whilst I had a gas over. Now that I have a full fan over so much of the trial and error and stress has been removed and I enjoyed making them this year.

You must see an endless variety of wonderful seascapes, the sunset and clouds are like a fairytale. And Christmas cake... oh heck! I would love to make one but not right now. I am guessing you can't actually bake in bugs - surely the heat would destroy them but I don't think I'll risk it till next week.
