My Christmas cake recipes will be live tomorrow evening!
We will look at a couple of variations according to your tastes and I will also do a sponge based version for those who do not like the rich fruit cakes-perhaps for the children as an alternative, whilst the adults tuck into the fruit one!
Together we will work on the cakes and then, in the case of the rich fruit cake, infuse with brandy or rum (again depending on your personal tastes) up to the decorating time.
Decorating the Christmas cake can be a fun affair for all the family- choosing the design and the preferred icing type too. perhaps you would prefer my Swedish friends way of using only marzipan and not icing!
Some of us nowadays suffer from nut allergies, so in these cases marzipan is not suitable as it is made from ground almonds.
Look around for the lovely Christmas cake decorations such as the traditional Santa, reindeer or the snowman or go modern and make from fondant icing -which comes ready for use.
Lots of choices-see you all tomorrow evening (London time!) for the basic cake recipes and how to make them.
Have a lovely evening/day wherever you are in the world!
