    Why thank you, I am feeling a little chuffed :D

    That's just the fruitcake mind. I think the sponge will be a bit trickier!

    Thanks so much to everyone for their help :D

    A chuffed and exhausted PGxx

    Hello ladies!

    It went down a storm, but it seems OH didn't focus too much on the cake, and there are no photos on our camera of the stacked cake :'( (I know, I promised, I should have done it myself :( )

    My mum and dad were overwhelmed, it was an excellent surprise, and both cakes were delicious (if I say so myself!)

    I'll see if my brother and dad got decent piccies of the final thing, if not, I'll crop one of the naff one's and you'll have to squint!!

    Thanks again for all your help, it made their day!

    PGxx
