Christmas cake

We made several Christmas cakes last year. Usually we make about 12 to give as gifts but last year, we cut it to 8 as obvious travel restrictions meant we weren’t seeing the same circle of friends/relatives. I have just found 3 full 8inch cakes, in tins while clearing out the cupboard getting ready for this year’s. One with marzipan&icing, wrapped in cellophane & 2 plain with no icing/marzipan. Look fine, small fine and, yes I had to, taste fine. Apart from the green iced holly had bled slightly into the white, they look perfect. Hope this isn’t my epitaph!

High fruit content fruit cakes get better with age, that's why they've lasted.

Didn't people used to save the top tier of their wedding cake for the 1st baby's christening?
