It’s surprisingly nice…. I did the same last year and it went down well. (https://www.alananna.co.uk/blog/2013/christmas-cake-decorating/) Trouble is neither Morgan nor Anna really like fruit cake so I end up having to eat it all on my own. Just ‘hefting’ these cakes is a task, so it’s not much good for my waistline to say the least.

I think next year I’ll make a small fruit cake and then a chocolate cake covered in marzipan and iced and decorated for Christmas. Not only will that be the same as our wedding cake, but it might mean that I get some help with eating it too.

If you lived a little closer I’d invite you around so that I could share it. I think we’ll definitely have to find some time to invite some friends over to help with the cake after Christmas Day which will be nice…. I wonder who will be on the invite list? Although, come to think of it I have a Mountain Bike ride planned for between Xmas and the New Year with the people I’ve been coaching, maybe I’ll take cake with me to help lure them out from their post-Xmas lethargy. 🙂
