Oxo Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 1st xmas cake made. Half a ton of fruit and other items and the fruit soaked overnight in 1/2 a bottle of brandy, and more to be fed over the next few weeks. This is the first of about 8 I shall be making, all that needs doing is the icing and marzipan. Or lack of one or the other depending on the recipient. But I can assure you people want these and ask in advance. About time I started charging. Oh yeah this weighs 2.7 kg and when finished will top 5 kg. I know it is cheaper to buy one, but a home made is so much more "More". PS do not drive after a slice if this as you will be over the limit
equinox Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Not long till I can make some sloe gin! Looks pretty good to me!

Specialist Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Hey Ox, that looks like a nice cake mate. My missus makes ours every year, she won't let me in the kitchen If I go anywhere near her cooker there's riots. Home done pickled onions are better than any you get in a shop.

norman Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 If I go anywhere near her cooker there's riots. If I have anything to hide from her I hide it in the oven. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
PeterJames Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 If I have anything to hide from her I hide it in the oven. LOL
Specialist Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 If I have anything to hide from her I hide it in the oven. Take it your missus does'nt read your posts then Norm ? My missus & me have a deal, I don't interfere in the Kitchen & she does'nt go in my workshop & tidy up Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.
norman Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 No she does not frequent the www unless it's for a holiday, she would be mortified at how much of a **** I was on places like this as she still thinks I'm a really nice guy. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
