Baking the Christmas Cake

Toot's Christmas Cake

Whilst I've been painting in the Cabine, Toot has been multi-tasking in the house. When I came into the kitchen my sense of smell was treated to the distilled essence of Christmas yet to come, the wonderous aroma of slow baked rich fruit cake with spiced rum.

Tooty used her improved version of Mary Berry's Christmas Cake recipe - which is, in my cakey opinion, 'Top Seasonal Nosh'!

Marzipan and Royal Icing to follow if you please Mrs Claus.
