My 2017 Christmas Cake inspired by my Grandma

This years Christmas cake is now resting and being feed every two weeks with brandy to keep it moist.

I love Christmas cake. I really do. I love the spice and all the fruit that is packed into slice. I love the sweetness of the icing and marzipan that  just marries with the fruit.

Christmas should be about about eatting lots of lovely rich and seasonal food. From the end of October, our cupboards start to fill up with many of the treats that we will indulge in over the festive period. Some of those treats will be traditional ones such as homemade puddings and cakes.
