Keiron: you can try my love but I fear it is cracked too deeply to repair – I’ll buy another one and let history repeat itself!!!!

Jay: I have absolutely loved making the cakes and puddings this year – its been years since I’ve done this…. though my kids aren’t bothered they just want my mince pies!!!!

Barbara: The smell while they were cooking was wonderful! And I have already iced the little ones ready to give away – that will be my next post I think…..

Kate, I could even smell the cake as I looked at it. Brilliant. Enjoy.

How industrious you are – good for you! I usually make a Christmas cake too, from my mother’s recipe, but lately I’ve been trying NOT to have too many sweet, sugary things at Christmas and there’s only two of us like traditional Christmas cake.

That bowl does look very familiar – maybe I need to look at a repair job for you – it wouldn’t be Christmas without that bowl!!

Baino: It’s strange isn’t it – I didn’t like it as a child and like you, preferred the frosting. But now i quite enjoy a small piece – this cake may last forever!!! Yes, I think its time for a new bowl here!!!!

Sistertex: Yes, thank you my friend, we are all doing very well here now. I too have many treasures from years gone by – I never knew my Grandmother but have many photos and stories that my Mum told – priceless stuff!!!
Yes I think they will make nice gifts too!!!

I remember my mother making Christmas Cake and puddings about this time of year but never, ever liked it. Crazy I know, I’d peel the marzipan and icing off and I don’t know whatever happened to the cake, she must have eaten it throughout the year! Turned out nicely though and I remember my gran having a bowl like that!
