I usually make fruit cake in November and freeze the tiny loafs so I can slice them then give as gifts. I haven't eaten what I froze last year yet. I think there could be 2 or even 3 in the freezer since I've been off sweets since March so I'll not be baking it this year but will enjoy one of those. <br />I enjoyed this post very much.<br />Mama BearSammie Robinsonhttps://myalbearshome.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-18721320838440757302020-11-03T06:58:29.015-06:002020-11-03T06:58:29.015-06:00WOW, does that ever look yummy!

I had to laugh at the trick your grandkids played on you. 😂 <br />I think you have great taste in chocolate. The chili one sounds delish! And I always LOVED that hazelnut one too!! <br />I always love your pics. You should put together a book. 😉 <br />Have a blessed week. xoxocarrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-76106847402871398242020-11-02T14:01:40.519-06:002020-11-02T14:01:40.519-06:00Now that is definitely a labor of love!

But I make a cake half the size in a 3-inch deep 7-inch round loose-bottomed tin. And we don't like to eat a lot of sugar, so I don't do the marzipan and royal icing. It still manages to look pretty fancy with just the apricot glaze and a circle of pecan halves (posted 4 years ago), but of course not nearly as fancy as your snowy-looking little beauty!Jean | Delightful Repasthttp://www.delightfulrepast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-78610383638466742632020-11-01T17:42:32.392-06:002020-11-01T17:42:32.392-06:00'Bloglovin' doesn't like me commenting...'Bloglovin' doesn't like me commenting on your site? Grr!<br />Even I know (and I have the experience of not only cooking a Christmas cake at least twice, but eating bits of one for as long as I can remember) that your Christmas cake recipe looks incredibly complex. But undeniably wonderful! Did you know that different regions of Britain have different styles of cake?

Never having had marzipan, I'm quite sure that I am missing something. The royal icing I know something about, but the butter will more than compensate. Thank you, Judy, for this very nice, November post reminding us of December delights to come and giving one time to gather ingredients and mix it up. This is one, intense recipe.

Years ago when the children were little and I wasn't working I would bake more and one year I made a round christmas pudding and a christmas cake that was shaped as a tree using star shaped tins. I still have the tins and might try them again this year - we're facing another total lockdown so there won't be much else to do!
