Oxo Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 1st xmas cake made. Half a ton of fruit and other items and the fruit soaked overnight in 1/2 a bottle of brandy, and more to be fed over the next few weeks. This is the first of about 8 I shall be making, all that needs doing is the icing and marzipan. Or lack of one or the other depending on the recipient. But I can assure you people want these and ask in advance. About time I started charging. Oh yeah this weighs 2.7 kg and when finished will top 5 kg. I know it is cheaper to buy one, but a home made is so much more "More". PS do not drive after a slice if this as you will be over the limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specialist Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hey Ox, that looks like a nice cake mate. My missus makes ours every year, she won't let me in the kitchen If I go anywhere near her cooker there's riots. Home done pickled onions are better than any you get in a shop.

norman Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 No she does not frequent the www unless it's for a holiday, she would be mortified at how much of a **** I was on places like this as she still thinks I'm a really nice guy.
