To Start: Things that are Done

Last year we embarked on a mission to bake a Christmas Cake and one can now say it is mission accomplished.

One found a Maggie Beer recipe online and made a couple of
little changes - such is one's wont.

In place of all that fruit rind we substituted in some candied cumquats and while dear Maggie only suggested the smallest amount of brandy, one bathed the fruit for a week and made sure they had a drink every day!

The timing in the recipe is spot on and the cardboard inserts in the cake tin were spot on.

This cake was DELICIOUS. As a matter of fact one will have a slice right now!
