I am very proud of myself. I a m making my very first Christmas cake.
It is making me feel very grown up!
I have my fruit soaking. I know it is a bit late but next year I will be more prepared if this goes well!
it is a Mary berry recipe so I have high hopes! The sherry is soaking into the fruit as we speak. Tomorrow is th3 big day so fingers crossed for me!
Sam is 21 on Friday and I am suddenly aware that I have vwry few Christmases left with her before she will be with a partner or having her own plans. This I think is what made me realise I have never made her a Christmas cake. I used to look forward to my mums and esp my grans when she was alive.
I am gettingall sentimental! l am really looking forward to making it .
What recipe do you use for your cakes? Is it a family one or a well known chef?
